ESPN "NEW BIG EAST" rankings -jokefest

If you look in the comments section of that ESPN article, tons of comments say that SJU is way underrated and should be much better than ESPN predicts. The word is out to lots of people that we are very very dangerous this year. I work with a friend of Sam Sealy (the walk on last year) and he said he keeps hearing SJU is going to be nasty. The hype is starting to permeate...now let's live up to it for once.

Where did Sam end up?
Too bad he didn't stick around to at least be a part of the nastiness.

Not sure...I'll have to try and remember to ask.

if you asked me I believe Lavin would say the lack of ESPN will hurt, and the fact is, he is right. However the money was not there.
Besides they are the ones that orchestrated the demise. Initially it will hurt the league as all other teams are on ESPN. The interconferece
games will still air on ESPN so it will be interesting to see their take. This league better have a real good out of conference winning percentage
to establish credibility. Finally just as Cuse and everyone else chased the money, this league is going for the money and FOX sports will be
there with it, allowing each member to take it to the bank. It hasn't hurt NASCAR or other sports.

The Big East sent a record 11 teams dancing two years ago, but this is a new era. Here's handicapping the league:http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/jeff-goodman/post?id=201 …

@cwih34 There isn't much disparity between 1 and 8 to be honest. Could easily make a case for St. John's at 3. Could also make one at 8.


This is purely an ESPN biased and unethical article.

That's actually a pretty fair response. Every team has a case to be ranked higher. The fact of the matter is that we are unproven and some of the other teams are proven. Championships aren't won on a blog in July. I wouldn't sweat any of these articles.

It is a fair response. But also a point he so cleverly left out of the original article. If there is parity in the conference he should mention that.

I hope he did all of Norm's laundry and had dinner on the table for him when he got home.

Don't forget the French maid outfit!

Thanks to twitter, I know that he thinks Kanye had the album of the year. No mention of continuing his education as of yet. Farmingdale needs a center after losing AJ.

Asked Sealy's friend today what he's been up to. Said he is looking to transfer and play ball in PA for more playing time. Not a major program though. Said academics were great at SJU but the time was simply not there. Best of luck to him.

Perhaps Mr. Goodman is not to impressed with Mr. Lavins oaching ability. As we all know, all the pieces are there for a successful season. There are no excuses with or with out D Lo for our success in this truly inferior ( to what it was ) league. You can say all the positives you want re. recruits in the top 150 etc. but The Big East is Not a superior conference by any means, perhaps no better then a glorified A10. My fear is that once the networks and large arenas see the domination in the marketability of the ACC, Big Ten and potentially the SEC, the exposure of conference teams shall lesson and recruits will look elsewhere. My hope is that the new commissioner is well prepared to deal with this and is a masterfull PR person.

Well Mr Goodman was impressed with Norm and his coaching abilities.

Not saying I agree with Goodman at all but what other reason could he have for the disrespect to the program. All the pieces are there for success. Obviously if he was impressed with Norm, he is an idiot.
