BE football

[Kizarvexis]

In another thread there was a list of the schools of the new Big East with their size and location. I was curious to see how old the BE football schools were and here is what I found.

Rutgers was founded in 1766 and started playing football in 1869. That's 134 years of football! (No team: 1871)

Pitt was founded in 1787 and started playing football in 1890. That is 114 years of football!

Louisville was founded in 1798 and started playing football in 1912. That's 85 years of football. (No Team:  1917-1920, 1943-1945)

Cincinnati was founded in 1819 and started playing football in 1885. That is 116 years of football! (No Team:  1907, 1943-1944)

W. Virgina was founded in 1867 and started playing football in 1891. That is 111 years of football! (No Team:  1892, 1918}

Syracuse was founded in 1870 and started playing football in 1889. That is 114 years of football! (No Team:  1943)

UCONN was founded in 1881 and started playing football in 1896. That is 105 years of football! (No Team:  1917-1918, 1943)

And you all know that USF was founded in 1956 and started playing football in 1997. That is 7 years of football.

All-time records

66.23% USF (51-26-0)

57.71% Syracuse (659-432-51)

56.64% W. Virgina (632-432-45)

55.91% Pitt (620-447-42)

48.52% Louisville (394-401-17)

47.81% Rutgers (558-566-43)

46.43% Cincinnati (494-519-51)

46.04% UCONN (430-466-38 )

USF is definitely the NEW kid on the block in the BE.

New Beast of the Big East

[smazza]

those schools have nothing on us

[E.T.]

Some may hammer about our winning percentage, but I BULLIeve it's very impressive.

They may say that most of the wins are against 1AA teams ... No SUGAR Sherlock, we were 1AA and a team from scratch.

We are the NEW Beast of the East !

Go BULLS !!!

we could do well in new BE in football

[South_Tampa_Knight]

You should.  Looking at the new Big East, not one team finished in the top 25.  Even a CUSA school finished in the top 25.

Honestly, the new Big East is not as good as the MAC.  If USF can't finish in the top three from the start, then USF will have issues.

I have to agree that the Mac has had an amazing year. This is the only amazing year that they have ever had. But because they have had this one really good year, you cant say that its better than the new BE, or the remaining BE. They have a couple of really good teams and the rest of the league is absolutely horrible. Even Temple and Rutgers regularly beat up on Buffalo. The BE teams play higher competition on a regular basis. The new BE teams have just fallen apart in bowl competition, but year in and year out the new BE is and will continue to be better than the MAC.

ftu finished in last place in mac

and  ftu will do worse in cusa

what a mistake for that bad program to move up in class.

they are going to get hammered

as for the mac being better than big east- that is one the most stupid statements i have seen  in my life

[cuseroc]
