Message: [QUOTE="OrangeAl, post: 22743, member: 308"] Class of '77. This moves tears my guts out, as I dreamed of a northeastern conference back in the days when we had a small alliance with PSU, Pitt and WVU. I was disappointed when the Atlantic 10 didn't quite get that done, then elated when the Big East got it together for B-Ball, then football. (Not to mention heartbroken when we missed the boat on PSU and got stung with their move to the Big 11). I know that the move to the ACC is practical, but the Big East is our baby and now we're snuffing it. I'm a NY native. I don't have any love for southern aristocracy and I don't want to adopt their traditions. I'm afraid that unless two more northern teams come into the conference, we'll just join MD and BC as distant relatives at the family table. My head says OK, but my heart says no way. Maybe I'll change over time. [/QUOTE]
