  1. We should be dominating it year after year if we expect to move up. Hopefully we can build on this.
  2. This got me thinking. Clearly tradition is out the window and it's all about the money, how long before schools start selling their mascots? Like the fighting Irish mascot wearing a Guinness T-shirt. Texas could promote the Texas Longhorn Steakhouse.
  3. Its these unfounded little rays of hope that keep me coming back here.
  4. Yea, I get it, I am just contrasting this thread with the other threads that craps all over this league, or insists we deserve better or that we are better than our conference mates. On the one hand we deserve to be in the B1G or the ACC but on the other we are not dominating our current league.
  5. Yea, I am confused, I always thought the goal was to win the AAC tournament. Winning the league seems superfluous. I could see if we were in a league that gets tons of invites but it is not so we need to win the tournament. People around here like to complain about the AAC but have we ever won it for football or the tournament for BB? Shouldn't we be setting our sites on dominating this league?
  6. Yea, I just don't see how this ends well for us. I have resigned myself to be a fan of the team regardless of who they play. Don't get me wrong, I come here to check to see if my wildest dreams come true but it is a little like stalkng an ex.
  7. I hear you. I think I'm still spoiled over the Big East invite. I think it made me, and others, feel special. In reality we are not and we will only get "called up" as part of a desperate backfill for a dying league; hated for what we represent by those who feel we diminish their prestige by being associated with us.
  8. I thought that comment was tongue in cheek. What would the Big "Creme De La Creme" look like? Standford, Cali, Oregon State, Washington State, Duke, Wake Forest, NC State, BC, Syracuse.... Who am I missing?
  9. I think there was a Pitt coach back in the day. What about the Auburn coach?
  10. I was just mentioning to my son there have been a few over the years.
  11. We got dumped about 10 years ago and it sucked. I felt like the rest of the college football world was - sucks for you. Now it sucks for everyone not in the B10/SEC.
  12. I was thinking about that. This thread will never die as long as conference realignment is in progress.
  13. But do they have an interest in playing in a league with us? Pitt, Syracuse hated being in the Big East with us.
  14. I'm not as close to the battle lines around here so that wentbover my head. I think you side stepped my question. To make it more generic, would you like to win a lesser conference or finish mid-tier in a top level conference? Which season would you consider more successful? I'm going to share my opinion, I think winning a conference is vastly more significant. No one gives a s*** about where you finish in the Big 10, Big East etc if you're not number one. When I say "no one" I mean no one in the real world, not on these forums.
  15. Thanks Brad. Would you guys rather win the AAC and be slightly lower ranked or finish midlevel of the old BE with a higher rating at the end of the season?
  16. Basketball has been a really nice surprise. We've assembled the list of positive things that USF has going for it AAU, OCS, bowl game blow out, top recruiting class etc but the men's basketball was not on any of my lists. IF we get into the tournament and survive a round or two what a shot in the arm. What if we win the AAC in basketball and football in the same year? We are honestly looking very attractive.
  17. We need to win the conference and see how far we get in the tournament. We are really good fans, rooting for teams that have never actually won any championships, just have shown flashes. Sheriff, your thread positive, I clicked on it because I was happy to see it - and it's great. It then made me think how low our bar is.
  18. Open ended question based solely on your opinion.
