With Crawfish Wichita Bucket acting like a douche this month, you have a great opportunity to stand apart with ridiculous yet semi-sorta-kinda-tolerable anti-Big-East gobbledy-gook. Instead you're repeating the same discredited lines that you've babbled on about for 4 years. C'mon, great opportunity here. Come up with new material.
So do you think the Big East has performed well in the postseason? I get the title, which is really the saving grace. But if the league kept performing in the post season like they have in the last 4 years(sans the title)- would you be content with that?

So you save all the douchery for us. I guess we should feel special to get so much of your negative attention.
You like stats? Here's a stat. Out of 8013 posts (on a message board for a league you have no attachment and clearly no allegiance to, by the way), I think I've counted almost 10 that were insightful or meaningful (and not intentionally douchey).
Giving you the benefit of the doubt that there were 10 good posts, I think that makes your "win-loss record" on this board at 10-8003. That's not a good record, Stever. I can say, definitively, that your coaches are disappointed in that record. Your buddies at ESPN will not be hiring you any time soon, because your commentary is neither "expert" nor "colorful."

Instead, Crawfish hasn't shut up, and he's emboldened you to go on a new freakin anti-Big-East mission.
So i can't listen to this anymore, and i'm going to have to flip out. What the f--- has to happen for your shit to stop? What the f--- does the Big East have to do?
Let's get this straight:
- No one in the Big East should give a flying f--- about college baseball or women's hoops, or placating anti-Catholicism nutjobs, or fuckin football or Lynyrd Skynyrd or fuckin Wichita Nowhere-land any other fuckin thing or place that has nothing to do with us.
- The Big East is kicking fuckin ass, kicking the living shit out of critics, ESPN, Coack K, Dickie V, Stever, Crawfish, the fuckin American, the fuckin A-10, and last year was like 9-4 against the cheatin, hookering degenerates in the fuckin ACC.
