UConn would make financial sense... but BC is enough of a geographical outkast as it is. UConn just wouldn't fit.


I would enjoy throwing shit at Calhoun twice a year, though

3/21/2006 10:16:42 PM

uconn would give bc a friend up there

and i would much rather be a fan of a acc team than a big east team

3/21/2006 10:23:04 PM

i wanna get rid of VT, BC, Miami, and FSU.


bring back the old days.

3/21/2006 10:25:43 PM

the ACC doesn't need UConn or Syracuse, it's big enough as it is

3/21/2006 10:25:57 PM

I wish we could have gotten Louisville.... which would have made about as much geographical sense as BC

3/21/2006 10:27:08 PM

yes because louisville is right along the atlantic coast, being a landlocked state and all

3/21/2006 10:28:57 PM

^^not on a coastal state

the only options still available would be UConn, Syracuse, Rutgers (yeah right), Temple (see Rutgers), Pitt (i guess), UGa, USC, and Florida.

and really, why bring in anyone else?

V theres a port in Philly!

we could get Delaware or Maryland Eastern Shore

PA is landlocked too

3/21/2006 10:29:32 PM

Well, I know it's not a coastal state... and this is the "ACC".... but it's at least closer than Massachusetts.


So If Tennessee wanted in (which they never would), would you let them? They're "in the vicinity"....

Boston is about as far from DC as DC is to Miami

James Madison would be a good fit

3/21/2006 10:33:00 PM

except they suck at everything

3/21/2006 10:33:29 PM

aha

3/21/2006 10:33:38 PM

3/21/2006 10:34:29 PM

^

3/21/2006 10:35:47 PM

Please don't tell me you think Prosser is an upgrade over Odom?

They are nearly on the same level. Take away Chris Paul's little bit of time, Odom>Prosser.

3/21/2006 11:47:54 PM

if you are going to take paul away from prosser then its only fair to take duncan away from odom.

Then he'd hold up his 3 national championship rings and laugh at you as you get thrown out of the arena!

Hey guys lets go after Georgia, UCLA, Michigan, and Texas to make it an even 16...

"Rutgers (yeah right), "

Why do you say that? They are a giant that hasn't quite woken up yet. They have TONS of alumni who donate, loads of talent in both major sports in state, the ability to upgrade facilities, and a good young football coach. They are a few years from putting together a very good football program... in my opinion..

WHAT?? Boston is MUCH MUCH closer to DC then Miami is.. MUCH CLOSER. Like 8 hours closer...

"You think Maryland and UNC fans are annoying. Imagine the arrogance without the history to back them up. I absolutely detest USuC fans"

Couldn't agree more. I lived in SC for about two years after graduating at State and it is amazing how much Cock fans think their football program is the shit. Their baseball team is good, but in football and basketball, they have ZERO history. It also took me a while to get used to people saying Carolina and realize they were talking about USC. The fans are passionate, but I am glad I'm not a fan of that shitty school.

BTW: USC also doesn't have the academics that the rest of the ACC schools do so they're a better fit in the SEC.

3/22/2006 12:45:16 PM

we're one of the STUPIDER acc schools and we're still head and shoulders above those dumb@$$es

woah now, usc is a pretty good school actually. them and state are consistently in the top-100 in the nation. their business school is #1 in the nation for some fields.

and the SEC isnt as bad as you think academically. for every Ole Miss, theres a Vanderbilt.

3/22/2006 12:49:54 PM

^ You've basically got Vandy which is a strong academic school, then a bunch of solid schools like Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, etc, and then shit schools like Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State. The ACC has no shit schools (well maybe FSU), but has elite schools like Duke, UNC, Virginia, Boston College, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech which all are equal or better than Vandy.

It's all opinion anyway...

they are both like 750 miles or so IIRC

3/22/2006 1:35:16 PM

yeah Wauluigi bring in NCCU, even though they'd struggle for they're first 3 seasons...although they did have a kick ass football squad the last 2 seasons.

I didn't know an NIT championship counted as a national championship.

3/22/2006 9:26:07 PM

Haha, well I was more referring to the 3rd Championship of 2006 though, of course...

I was just messing with PackBacker though. I know he hates UConn/Calhoun and I like them so I felt the need to respond sarcastically..
