Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 187250, member: 628"] I was going to make the same point. We're "familiar" with many teams in the Big East, but in some respects it's just the randomness of history why we feel that way. Look, from a geographic standpoint it certainly makes more "sense" for us to play schools from Jersey and Rhode Island, than North Carolina and Virginia. But at the same time, those schools made choices too. It struck me watching Duke-UNC the other night that there's no particular reason why G'town couldn't have maintained a 1-A level football program like Duke has. They just chose not to. Same for Nova, and the rest if them. So 'dems the breaks. Outside of geography we have MUCH more in common with almost any school in the ACC than we do with the hoops onlies. [/QUOTE]
