And I did note that you seem to not like SJHooper, as you were telling him to shut up in this thread and I'm pretty sure you have before on previous occasions (Might want to avoid "shut up" as your go-to comeback, by the way, just to ensure you don't get compared to the average 10-year-old that thinks he's clever). SJHooper is the ultimate embarrassment to your fanbase, so I can understand being annoyed by him and wanting him to be quiet due to his association with your program (since everyone else is laughing at him).


You sure seemed to be rushing to his defense. God forbid anyone says anything to a X poster. You guys can talk all the shit you want about SJU fans. It's a constant on these boards.

Oh and shut up is the easiest and most direct way to tell someone to stop talking. It's what people in New York do, you know New York right? The place where things actually matter.


Lol still not upsetting me. And your delusions of persecution is a nice foil to SJHooper's delusions of grandeur.


Hahaha Okay, whatever you say pal.

Good article, meant to link that before.

"The Big East will never be able to chase the ghosts of its glory days. But on Saturday night, the venerable old tournament made a statement that it's not going to fade away."

Sounds about right.

Good article. I really dug seeing the Blue Jays faithful really embrace the new traditions and the new venue. I hope that excitement level stays and possibly even grow in the coming years!

All those who went should tell their friends how much fun it was! hahaha

People who are blunt, honest, non-PC, don't sugar coat, and don't care what others think are usually hated this day in age, so I don't mind. Just because my posts make some fans angry doesn't mean they aren't right. I admit I may come off as blunt, but forums are places where differing opinions are intended to be welcomed. Don't get pissy about my style, but rather challenge the content of my posts. That's what men do. That's more constructive than posting memes cussing someone out (and going totally unnoticed because it wasn't by an SJU fan).

I really like PC and I'm glad a C-7 school won. They deserved it. They lost a TON this year and still won it all. It's a great story. With that said, unfortunately they did not make national headlines or get any buzz outside of the Big East for doing so. Don't kill the messenger, but the conference would have gotten much more hype and clout had G'Town, Marquette, SJ, Nova, Creighton, or even Xavier won. I think it's stupid that this is the case, but it's true nonetheless. Again I'm very proud of PC...I have family members who went there and almost went there myself so I know how good the school is academically as well, but the Big East will not be a national name again if PC/Seton Hall/DePaul are beating the bigger name schools. PC is a very very tiny school in a very very tiny state in a very very tiny market. The big dogs of this conference need to get their act together and fast.

In the same way that baseball is watched more and much more hyped when the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Dodgers, etc. are good the Big East is watched more and much more hyped when the above mentioned teams are winning conference tourneys and making NCAA runs.

Dude...people are generally laughing at you. Not sure how you didn't pick up that obvious vibe from this thread, just thought you should know.

In this day and time especially with the one and done; as the article stated it will be about top notch players; if a school got a top notch player(s) people will tune in to see them play; plain and simple.

Point being if what you call the lower schools have those players people will watch

Anger =/= Laughter

Thought that would be obvious.
