Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 202202, member: 527"] This is 10lbs of in a 5lb bag if I ever heard it. 1) Losing BC, Miami, and VT happened almost 10 years ago now, if they are still reacting to that then they really are clueless. 2) I DON'T want the BE to fail, I am commenting on the moves the BE is making and saying its clear as day that it WILL fail. Not hoping, commenting on that it will. They could have done things to make it survive or viable and have me say nice things about it, but they didn't. They have taken this idiotic route. And when you do dumb things you can expect level headed and reasonable people to point out the stupidity. Like pretty much all of America is doing with these recent additions the Big East has made. 3) Adding Boise, SD State, Houston, and SMU is just dumb. But for football only you "might" be able to spin that into a positive I guess. Letting SMU and Houston in for all sports is just mind boggling. Adding UCF, Memphis, and Temple is just dumb beyond belief and there is no positive way to spin that period. Getting to 12 teams isn't a new concept, its been around a while. Why didn't the BE take these steps a few years back? Oh wait, because these schools they went after and have now brought in SUCK on all levels and the Big East wanted nothing to do with them. They bring in no tv ratings, they have no history, they have small fanbases,. There are few positives about any of them. Now, instead of the big east losing some schools and taking chicken s#it and trying to make chicken salad, they have taken chicken s#it and made a new and improved version of chicken s#it. More smell, more flavor, longer lasting taste! Bottom line OPA, you seem like a decent guy. But every time the Big East adds a school you go on and on about how great a move it is. The Big East could announce Monday they are adding St. Lucy's School for Girls and you would be here heaping praise on it saying this was a great get. You are an apologist for this commish and this conference and I have no clue why. If I didn't know better I would think you are on the payroll. My "educated guess" is I think in the back of your head you have some pipe dream that some day, whether 5 years, 10 years, or 20 years down the road everyone will "come back home" to the Big East. But I hate to break it to ya, The Big East is DEAD! The SWC is dead. The Pac 8 and the Big 8 are dead. Some died years ago some recently, but none of them are coming back. The Big East might keep its "name" for a little bit longer, but its over. It's dead and it ain't ever coming back. This collection of misfit schools they got now is ConfUSA 2.0. Every time the Big East adds a school, the conference gets worse! Bigger isn't always Better (insert jokes here people with that line I set you up with) [/QUOTE]
