If we win this abortion of a conference that we had the misfortune of creating, not one person will talk to you about it at the water cooler. Not a single person at the bar will know what you are talking about. There isn’t any swag made that says best of top two or three of the g5 conference champions. If sportscenter still exists it won’t be on there. Winning the left behind three of the Big East and the also rans we tossed together is a tree falling in the woods with no one around but with far less interest or discussion. Just tell people we win this conference every year not a single person will know if we did or not or even bother to fact check it assuming this conference even has a wiki page or is somehow on the internet. Beating Wisconsin, GT or even Illinois is a bigger deal than ever beating anyone in our conference, I don’t even know half of their names( marrying the person everyone else didn’t bother to learn the name of isn’t winning and by attaching ourselves to these trogs we have already lost). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the gist of this post, your fulfillment is totally wrapped up in whether other people, outside the scope of USF, care about the accomplishment ...... which, I guess, is fine ...... but still a little sad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you accomplish something no one else cared about or is trying to accomplish than I do not believe that you have really accomplished anything, I wish it was simply people outside the scope of USF that didn’t care about our conference but it’s anyone, anywhere, including anyone in the conference, any fan of any team in the conference, anyone doing business with the conference, the conference commissioner, anyone USF related, anyone not USF related, ever man, woman, child, everyone binary, everyone not binary, every animal of the forest, every domesticated animal and even every g-d as this conference is G-d forsaken. This conference is sad, playing in it is sad and the only way to actually win it is to get out as evidenced buy everyone always at all times making any and every effort to escape (there is a reason no one was willing to make more money by signing away their chance at winning the lottery by granting their rights to the conference). Back when we were in the BEAST every single game we had every flag of our conference mates flying above the stadium for every game, now we fly no flags of any team we are stuck with. It’s suttle but it speaks volumes about how much we think anyone cares about who we are anchored to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think about trying to learn who are the people in the conference with us but I am too big of an optimist to allow myself to do that. Purgatory should only be temporary and I can’t accept that we could be eternally damned to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
