You've got it. :D

Actually I really, really, really don't like Kentucky. How do you feel about them?


I dislike Calipari so by extension I'm not a fan of UK. And their fans are the absolute most annoying fans in any sport. Well, except for maybe Dallas Cowboy fans.

I think outside the UK fans, no body likes Calipari. Go ask our former soon-to-be bretheren from Memphis what they think about him.

PC has spent the last 33+ years playing Georgetown, etc, etc, etc, etc, playing in the best conference. Top to bottom, complete, the Big East remains as good or better than every other conference. Like he said-- UK has great players... congratulations to them... but we or any Big East team is supposed to be in awe of these freakin guys...??? Eff that...


I like his attitude. Respect them, but we are not taking a back seat to them. It takes some guts to come out and say that to the so called "elite teams". I'm glad he did, because if he doesn't believe it, how the hell is his team supposed to believe it? The Big East showed it's for real. Xavier loses to Iowa by 1, Butler to Ok St by 1, and CU blows out Ariz St and back from 19 down to San Diego St to lose in last seconds. This is going to be a battle. Love CC for sticking up for the conference and he is right. There are 5-7 teams in this conference that can play with ANYONE in the country- I don't believe there is another conference that could say that!!!

This promo from FOX highlights the challenge CC is addressing. He wants his team to see itself as a headliner too (who cares what outsiders think), not just chum for the anointed big fish!



I saw that commercial on Fox and it pissed me off. It's hard to spin that in a positive light -- it's highlighting the "legendary" status of UNC and UK and pretending like those two teams are the only reason to watch the games. It would be so awesome if they both got their asses handed to them. Especially when Fox is the official home of the BIG EAST and overshadows Providence like that.

Okay. So, we're on the same page. I just took a lot more words to say it. I'll try to emulate your parsimony. :D

Wichita State fans, University of Nebraska fans, and North Carolina fans and crybaby former players beg to differ.
