Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 867385, member: 652"] I posted this about UConn on the football board. I feel a little bad for UConn(they have gotten the shaft but they act like douchenozzles), but they keep acting like that relative/friend who feels like if you get invited to a party you have to bring them with you just because they are your relative/friend. Syracuse was not part of the 2003 ACC lawsuit and don't think the ACC schools never forget that. Its why we were their first choice for future expansion as 13 now Virginia Tech and Pitt were also part of that lawsuit, but UVA got the screws put to them by Marc Warner and that is how VPI got in, and whether its fair or not the perception that Blumthemal leading the lawsuit as the face for UConn made UConn the number 1 target for angst from the ACC and if BC/Miami blackballed UConn in favor of Pitt that is their own fault. What annoys me is that it took so long for UConn to get into the D-1 football game and they act like they should be given a lottery ticket as a result. While teams like TCU, SMU have history from the 70's and Louisville built itself from C-USA. Okay, UConn you stepped up in 1998 Congrats buddy, but how about earning your way into an elite league. Syracuse football was bad from 2005 till 2009 and they want to make that era seem like it wipes out our decades of history prior while they have none. We beat Kansas State, West Virginia, Minnesota in bowl games UConn's best bowl wins are South Carolina, Toledo, Buffalo. I mean Congrats you guys achieved mediocrity pretty easily by being given a golden ticket in a BCS league, but you have not accomplished that much so and respect is earned NOT GIVEN. This is my problem with the UConn program. Their basketball program is going to die slowly as a national program like it has happened to UNLV because it will be stuck playing East Carolina, Tulane, Tulsa, Central Florida, Memphis, Temple in conference play. Their program will max out as a 3-4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and that is if they don't have their annual What losses like last night and actually win good OOC games. It doesn't mean they can't be a decent basketball team and make a run occasionally, but they are now in a mid-major conference and will die the death of 1000 cuts. [/QUOTE]
