Around the Big East

[Marillac2]

Yes, but the fact that this game broke records with SJU playing (without UConn involved) is great for this program.

It shows that if run correctly, SJU proved it can be an elite marketable program. Recruits, their families, and agents have all saved the program’s number as a favorite.

UConn loves to pose in the mirror and flex its popularity. While SJU is not UConn yet, but SJU does get a seat at the head of the table now as well. We will have a big say in what the BE does going forward.

We are a media giant. It's an uncomfortable reality for football schools. Imagine if we didn't alienate an entire generation of fans by losing for 20 years?

Yeah it’s a fake account. He is a Providence fan that posts anti Georgetown things all the time. He was also the one who created the rumor that Val was going to ban Pitino after meeting with Kentucky earlier this year which half the board fell for.

There certainly is a lot of catching up to do.

But hopefully the Garden attendance and the TV ratings were indicators that fans were lurking all along, but were not going to waste money on a bad product. Now they have something worthwhile to follow.

Seeing so many kids with their families at games is amazing.

There's also always a new crop of 20-30 something year olds who move to NYC or have lived here, who don't have a college basketball affiliation but love hoops & want an affordable option to the Knicks, who are ready to jump on the bandwagon. The amount of friends in my life who've told me they've gone to a St. John's fan out of nowhere has been so surprising.

Is it me or, does it seem like it’s falling apart on Cooley at Georgetown?

He needs a big year

Moose jinxed Cooley for life.

 

[bamafan]

So we brought over 2 million eyes on this years final as compared to last year.

 

[redmannorth]

He needs a big year

If it is he brought in on himself.
His tirade a few weeks ago was horrible and undeserved.
Having said that I would take Fielder in a heartbeat. He would be a very solid addition.

 

[BrooklynRed]

How is his lateral movement or will he just stand by the basket on defense like Kalkbrenner.

He needs a big year

Hasn't been the same since he left his mistress back in Rhode Island. Needs to get her an apartment in D.C.

I hate the my “conference is better” than yours argument. Unfortunately I am not denying it is real. The fact is teams at the bottom of a conference are given an edge or a boost because of it. In reality Texas got in with a mediocre record and a lame duck Coach BECAUSE they played in the SEC. Teams should be judged on what the did to earn a bid not what Conference you are in.
