NCAA Men's College Basketball 2012-2013 Season |OT|
- Thread starter thefro
- Start date
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the potential embarrassment of wide media exposure of the NCAA investigator's boyfriend talking openly about the case on an airplane.
UConn, I would guess

Important to note that none of this is final, but I do think it might happen. Rutgers will leap for the B1G if they get the chance, and Maryland seems to want out of the ACC (and academically, they're a good fit for the B1G).
I don't think Kansas was ever on the table. Missouri made their choice. They were who we thought they were!
UConn for UMD is literally like UMD never left, so I'm fine with that. The Swoff just needs to tell BC to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up
You could always throw BC out like the Big East threw out Temple.

Hopefully we get in the ACC, although that's probably not happening. UCONN isn't even close to us in any sport besides womens basketball, so they've got nothing on us - other than location and being in ESPN's home city. Which obviously runs the ship. Duke, UNC, Syracuse, and Louisville would be a power 4 completely unmatched by anyone in college basketball. Especially with that coaching pedigree.

Interesting. Have you been in some sort of stasis since 1986?
It boggles the mind.

Have you seen UCONN's roster? Is Calhoun around? Are they even going to make the tourney this year? Nope. Their roster was decimated.
Maybe you've been the ones out of the loop.
The Bruins Nation doxxing of those two was almost as sweet as the doxxing they did to that dog fighting jerk on USC's coaching staff.
Unfortunately in this story Ben Howland benefits.

It's pretty ridiculous. And the shooting has stepped up today too with 12 threes thus far.
...you do know UConn won the title in 2011, right?
and 2004... and 1999....

Didn't know Calhoun or Kemba Walker were still there - and it's not like that was some sort of dominant season for them. What makes you think their program will be anywhere close to that again?
We've also won 5 of the past 6 versus them and have the best record in the conference since joining.

So CJ Leslie just fouled out of the game from the bench, swearing at an official. Wowwwww. Total meltdown. #NCSU

HAHAHAHAHA.
one of many reasons state will be a disappointment this season.
wtf is a florida gulf coast. it's not often teams play someone i've never heard of.

They beat Miami already this season.
Yeah, the ACC is that bad.
also LOL at NC State. Knew they were overrated.

The ACC will always be Duke and UNC. Any time another team from that conference is billed to be great, they fall flat

I don't really understand why anyone in the ACC even gives a shit about BC's opinion. What have they done for the league lately?

Duke had a good run. Seriously, this time.
If Maryland leaves the ACC, I might just tap out. I'm sick of conference realignment. I want my traditional ACC back, with home-and-homes with every team in the league. I want to watch Duke make January trips to Raleigh, knowing that NC State will come to Durham in February, and vice versa. I want that trip to Littlejohn, where Clemson always seems to give Duke a good game regardless of how bad the Tigers might be. I want that Saturday noon game in Charlottesville. I want back my basketball conference. And no more Sunday night games.
And bring back Reynolds Coliseum, for crying out loud. The RBC Center is terrible.

Realignment definitely sucks.
I don't think any BEast basketball program wanted to leave for the ACC until everything went to hell. Why would they? The Big East tourney at MSG is legendary. I'm more proud of the Huskies winning the 2011 Big East tournament than I am about the national championship. But we gotta find a safe landing spot at this point, or face irrelevance down the line.

If you think you're sick of it. You don't want to know what a fan of a program that has invested hundreds of millions into football and basketball plus other sports. Then get invited to an upgraded conference then only have that essentially taken away due to the rich getting richer and petty legal maneuvers between shithead conference commissioners and TV execs.
not shit.
fuck em. (c) 2 chaaaaaainz
as for maryland, it's really hard for me to give a fuck that they're leaving. out of all the non-NC acc teams, the only teams i give less of a fuck about are bc and uva
now if one of clemson, miami, gt or fsu left i'd be really salty.

I would ditch Boston College yesterday. I never did like them joining. I would probably want to keep one of Virginia Tech or Miami, but not both. Given complete fan apathy in Miami for anything, I'd keep the Hokies. Syracase and Pitt and Notre Dame would never make it into my preferred league, they belong in the Big East. I would pare the ACC down to 10 teams and build a wall around them.
:/
Stupid football money.
I half want the NFL to get greedy and establish an NFL Jr and decimate the college game.

State played like crap today. Hopefully it's just a fluke. Better to have your WTF game in November instead of Feburary or worse March. Also, Oklahoma St. should make the tourney, so this isn't a bad loss, guessed them at around a 6-7 seed before the season.
I think there's some chemistry issues on-court, Leslie isn't used to being not the clear #1 option, and Brown just had a terrible game.
Curious to see how they do vs Michigan and UConn. If they lose both of those, then I"ll really worry.

So apparently Kevin Ollie, despite only having a 6 month contract as head coach, donated $100,000 toward building the new on-campus UConn basketball practice facility. Strongest indication yet that a long term deal has to be imminent for him. Can't see him donating nearly 20% of his salary if he wasn't going to be a part of the program long term.
Loving him so far, seems like a great coach with a heart of gold.

One bad loss doesn't kill tourney hopes- besides, you guys were inconsistent as hell last year and you made the tourney easily- with your style you're going to have some stupid losses and huge upsets.

Don't jinx it! Connecticut's been snubbed before
That said, I'd love to be a part of ACC-gaf!

The only other program I could see the ACC taking (geography be damned) is Louisville (great bball program, much better football program than UConn). But I have a feeling geography IS important to the ACC big wigs. We'll see.

Louisville's got the football, UConn has the academics and the viewer market. We shall see...

So when is the Big 10 changing its name. They're gonna have 13/14 teams in a couple of years. Or are the newcomers not BIG but rather little. BIG10 and the Little Four. That'd be a cool conference name.

Gonna miss the Duke games. Sad day to be a UMD fan.
Pretty sure the Big XII trademarked all the conference names up to 16 when they trademarked the Big 12.

Disgusting day. The ACC is already dead, and this hardly changes it, but this sucks.
ACC basketball died in 2003. The world's still spinning. It is what it is.

ACC added Pitt and Syracuse tho right? I think Uconn has been rumored to join as well?
