Message: [QUOTE="teamco, post: 2974028, member: 4245"] The Big East felt like home. It was family, it was great, all the typical family dysfunction made it that much better. Might've hated some of the other teams, but they were part of the same gang and when a Charles Barkley would call us the Big Least, even though WE were a power house conference, you felt like someone was attacking your mama . . . it was fightin' words. The ACC? Just not the same. Feel like an outsider, a Yankee at a Rebels Ball, and I don't know that I will ever feel anything approximating the same feelings as the Big East days. Maybe it is because I am a dinosaur- from the Class of 77. Watching Big East Conference games was compelling . . . I find playing most of our ACC opponents fairly boring . . . I suppose the fact that we have fallen to upper-level mediocrity has something to do with it . . . but the thrill is kinda gone. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
