GOOD LUCK BIG EAST
by redmen9194 » Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:41 pm
Well gang, this is what it was all about. The reformation of the Big East Conference was always about basketball and solidarity. Basketball because that's what butters our bread. Because our big men on campus play on the hardwood, not the turf. Because names like Thompson, Carnesecca, Hinkle, McGuire, Massimino and Gavitt belong to us. Because accepting the scraps thrown to us by our football brothers was really never a long term solution. Solidarity because as the football schools pledged loyalty while lobbying to join every other conference out there, the so-called Catholic-7 stayed true to each other. Because at the Bradley Center during a nationally televised game against one of our former football conference mates, the student section began to chant "Catholic 7" so that it could be heard from coast to coast. Because at the Verizon Center, Georgetown - one of the Four Founding Fathers of the Big East - unfurled a huge banner with the seven basketball schools represented proclaiming what would be the unofficial slogan of the league, "BASKETBALL IS OUR RELIGION". Well the time has come to lace them up and go to war. So in that spirit, I wish Xavier, Georgetown, Villanova, Seton Hall, Butler, DePaul, Providence, Creighton, Marquette and of course the Johnnies best of luck in the non-conference season. See you New Years Eve...
We Are St. John's....We Are The BIG EAST!

YES x1000
This is college basketball's last stand. I will be rooting for all BIG EAST teams every single game OOC. Stand tall, BIG EAST!

yes.
Coach Al Mcguire:
"I like seashells and balloons, ribbons and medals, bare feet and wet grass."
"When I'm losing, they call me nuts. When I'm winning, they call me eccentric."
"Queen of victory, pray for us."

Good luck to y'all.
Shaping up to be a great year in the Big East.

Big East Basketball is what it's always been. Great competition nightly.
If the Atlantic 10 didn't suck, why is everyone looking for the exits?
There is a reason why the A-10 left a team in the Central Time Zone...SLU, your move.

Didn't we all (well five of us) hate each other back in the 80s? Can't wait for conference play to start.

lol we`re like a family, support each other vs. strangers then get mad at each other when head-to-head starts.
