Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1997964, member: 780"] We can't control who posts here or don't want to. Your presence here is proof of that. You came here pretending to ask questions. But what you were actually doing was trying to get reinforcement for your own opinion that SU had made a mistake joining the ACC and that all our athletic programs would suffer for it. Not that you give a crap about SU, its athletic programs or its fans. You are still smarting from the dissolution of the Big East and SU's role in that and the negative impact this could have on Georgetown. And you wanted at least one SU fan to voice that opinion so that you could go back to the Hoya Board and trumpet that news. Of course, that didn't work out for you. While there is some nostalgia for the hey day of the Big East on here, there are no posters who don't realize that SU is better off in the ACC than it would have been in the AAC or with some sports in the Big East. Of course, by inventing forecasts of what might happen in the future (e.g, Northeastern basketball players won't want to come to SU because we play in a Southern conference.) you can attempt bolster your Doomsday predictions. But nobody here is going to buy into that argument. If our whole athletic program were a one-trick pony (like GU and Men's basketball), we might have survived in the new Big East Eastern and Midwestern Catholic Conference). But the ACC gives us an opportunity to play and win in a wide range of sports including football. It gives us quality name-brand opponents and a national stage on which to play. The Big East may flourish, it may survive or it may easily slip into being a Mid Major Conference. I like SU's chances of remaining relevant more than I like Georgetowns. [/QUOTE]
