I have the utmost respect for your opinion. I am a SU alumnus. I was a cheerleader in 1973. I bleed Orange. It took four decades to build this. After all, you wouldn't expect Michigan to suddenly start embracing the State University of Ohio if they switched leagues. It might take a couple of years. Don't you think?Why do we keep pretending that Georgetown and UConn are our rivals? Until pigs can fly, we aren't going to play them again with any regularity. It is 2014. I am tired of the incessant UConn and Georgetown posts here. They are totally irrelevant to us this season. Let's live in the present and the future ... and not in the past.
Now UConn was right up there with Georgetown for a while when Calhoun was around. Now, in their new league, I really think they'll slip into irrelevancy shortly so they don't matter as much. I was even over Pitt (kinda) because without the clutch and grab defense they couldn't "uglify" the game. But then we played them. Before the game, Dixon lorded his one game advantage over the last decade and during the game he was insufferable - Calhoun insufferable. You do have to give him credit, Calhoun would have blamed the loss on his kids. After the Pitt game - all I heard out of Pittsburgh was that they should have won.
Besides, I have a feeling we're going to see a Georgetown home and home regularly on our schedule and, knowing the rating bonanza potential, Georgetown will make our bracket if they make the Tourney. Mark my words.
