Message: [QUOTE="A Clockwork Orange, post: 4041899, member: 16"] Such a great nostalgia trip watching that 30 for 30. The Georgetown contingent's comments still piss me off. Jr., Sr. AD, and Patrick all irritate me to no end. They are so high and mighty about sacrificing and being true to what the Big East started and who cares about football, etc... They are: A) Completely out of touch with the reality of college sports and B) Could have avoided literally all of this if they had accepted Penn State and then Pitt into the conference when it was feasible. As Mike Tranghese said early in the documentary "I told Dave (Gavitt) that we will rue this day," when the basketball onlies voted to keep Penn State out. The end of the Big East happened when the selfishness of those schools started alienating the football schools. The fact people in that documentary can be so obstinate that they had nothing to do with these teams leaving need to look long and hard in the mirror. C) I love what Coach B. had to say about it. He basically said, "we're not leaving the Big East, we're leaving something else that is not that Big East anymore." I also love the doc because I was at the last Big East Tournament and it was just an absolute blast of a time. I wrote about the first three days and really just always loved the atmosphere of MSG. What I miss most about the Big East as it stood at the end was the Big East Tournament. I also miss the UConn and Georgetown rivalries. Those are the things that hurt the most. But it had to be done as painful as it was. Below is what I wrote about those last bittersweet days of the Big East Tournament: [URL='https://syracusefan.com/threads/garden-party-day-1.46999/']Garden Party Day 1[/URL] [URL='https://syracusefan.com/threads/garden-party-day-2.47164/']Garden Party Day 2[/URL] [URL='https://syracusefan.com/threads/garden-party-day-3.47395/']Garden Party Day 3[/URL] [/QUOTE]
