Tulane to join Big East

[charsibb]

Why the Phoenix rumor if SDSU and Boise might not come to the "Musical Chairs" conference

You're kidding, right? UOPX doesn't have sports - not even intramurals.

USF is going to be the "original member" of the Big East. *hurl*

ECU rhymes with gay

Not cool, no hate speech here.

That is a classic line from years ago at the Bowl game. Never really made sense then and still doesn't today but just one of those things that seemed to stick. Plus you needed to be there at 2 AM with ECU fans on one side of the street yelling at USF fans on the other. One after another an ECU fan would rush the Bulls fans and the cops would grab them and haul them off. It was claasic.

I first experienced their hatred of USF on the road there in Pitt county in 2003. The Bulls had just been invited to the Big East and they had a chip on their shoulders about it. I did not even know that East Crapolina was even in the running. They constantly set out to egg on our fans and tried to intimidate them at that game, at the game in 2004 in Tampa, and of course the pizza bowl. One guy even punched Rocky in 2004.

I'm only the messenger. I've been told Boise State and SDSU are backing out of the BE to stay in the Mountain West.

This source is good.

I'm guessing this is why we're adding ECU

So they're going to pay $10 million to exit and stay in the same conference they already were in with the same horrible tv contract (part of the reason why they left) that pays (or will pay) them less then staying in the Big East?

If they don't stay in the big east they are f'n stupid... unless the MWC can some how get better markets and a better tv contract they are going to stay in this s&(* conference whether they like it or not. Getting paid 800,000 dollars for all sports and probably at least 4 mil for football only is a much different deal

Not defending ECU fans or taking a pop at them but ALL fan bases have Crappy fans. We have fans that should learn to act better toward other teams fans as well. Ive seen more fights at the USF/ UCF games than any other game Ive attended. Ive been to ALL Home games, at least 1 road game a season and the Bowl games, Went to ECU games in Greenville and Never had any problems with ECU fans. In fact They are more passionate than ours and they acutally show up, home, away and for their bowls, Not like ours.

[Bulls1181]

[jvwvu]
