He's better than what we had before, but thats not saying much.



The whole name Red Storm personally to me has to go. I would even be okay with getting a corporate sponsor and be the St. John's Red Bulls.

Christian Brothers (beat Memphis) has a bigger tv footprint than UAB or Memphis , and fit the BE profile.

Dayton reports to have over 1000 fans at the Puerto Rico Tip Off Tourney now underway. DU travels well. Just sayin'........

I imagine Dayton would welcome the elevated level of play since they've been dominating weaker opposition in the Atlanti---

wha?

Wait?

Dayton has never won the Atlantic-10 Conference regular season title?

Not even once?

In twenty years?

The Atlantic 10.

The one with St. Bonaventure and LaSalle and UMass.

Oh. Well that's embarrassing....

Uh, ok, you have forced me into a rebuttal even though I'm not a Dayton honk.

ELITE EIGHT

P.S. 1000 would be a good crowd at a DePaul home game. (Ok, that was uncalled for, but close to true.)

Move your school to Chicago and you're in.

On the side note. I wish PC had a new Mascot-not trying to start anything but he's a bit creepy.

This post honestly made me nauseous. I am not even kidding. I am going to sound like a jerk here and a bit of an elitist but some of you new guys gotta cut the nonsense with your mid-major mentality. UAB? Are you kidding me? Please don't insult the Big East like that ever again.

A lot of you guys remind me of what we Villanova fans used to make fun of Steve Lappas for, when he said, "We do OK." UAB is not even OK, if you told me they didn't have a basketball team I'd believe you. Have some pride already. Some of you guys need to pick up the friggin' slack already and stop settling for mediocre.

By the way, PROPS to Creighton last night for getting 'er done against Oklahoma. The house looked packed and your fans made the Big East proud by representing. Well done!
