For all of the Big East haters

[Tim_T]

Perhaps you should direct your attention to a worse BCS conference. I give you the ACC.

Big East Bowl record 44-25 and 28-24 in bowl games against BCS conferences.

ACC Bowl record 46-51 and 33-42 against BCS conferences.

BCS bowl records of the respective conferences, 6-7 for Big East and 2-11 for ACC.

OMG, you never learn do you Tim....If I had the time I'd go back and actually bring up all the games in question....Seems like you get credit for the Big East beating the ACC in the Orange Bowl...But when the 5th and 6th place team in the Big East Plays like the 3rd and 4th place team from say the Sunbelt or CUSA, there is such a big drop in talent that of course the teams from Bigger onference's are gonna win these games more often......It's the tie in's of the Bowl game afiliations even i know that...if said conference must play in a certain Bowl game to fullfill it's obligation, they must play who the NCAA or BCS people say they must play or if they accept the Bowl bid period...Even if they don't have to play in the game.....

That is how you get the lopsided loss vs win totals from the Conference wins and loss's.....

Last year UK would have killed their Bowl game opponent if Hartline had not of gotten in trouble and had to sit for that game, everyone knows it and will admit it except for U of L fans.......

Last year U of L played in the Beef O' Brady Bowl game against Southern Miss from CUSA...Whom finished 2nd or 3rd in the Conference with a 8-5 record playing cupcakes and mostly mid-Major teams.....U of L played cupcakes and Teams from one of the worst years ever Big East Conference.....You won by 3 points and you call that a awesome win against a Mid-Major School.......

So now take your Football and go back home Tim cause you don't have a leg to stand on in your own Thread.........

Despite the generic criticism, this is not as much of an anomaly as most would think. In fact, since the Big East added Louisville, Cincinnati, and South Florida in 2005, no conference has had a better postseason winning percentage.

Conference bowl records (since 2005):

Big East 21-10 (.677)
SEC 32-19 (.627)
Pac 10 19-13 (.594)
Big 12 24-23 (.510)
ACC 22-28 (.440)
Big 10 16-28 (.363)

Big East postseason profile (since 2005):

Overall: 21-10
vs BCS teams: 12-10
BCS Games: 3-3

vs non-BCS 9-0 (.1000)
vs SEC 3-1 (.750)
vs Big 12 3-1 (.750)
vs ACC 6-5 (.545)
vs Pac-10 0-3 (.000)
vs Big 10 0-0

05-06: 1-3
06-07: 5-0
07-08: 3-2
08-09: 4-2
09-10: 4-1
10-11: 4-2

Contrary to popular BCS belief, it is possible for teams to improve throughout the course of a season and be much better than they were in September. Now if only there were some form of postseason that rewarded this type of effort and improvement...

Take that Mills...

Careful, you will make some haters heads explode with all of these INDISPUTABLE FACTS!

Last year UK would have killed their Bowl game opponent if......

Guess I have something in common with UK...Should have, would have, could have, but didn't...

By the way Mills...did you ever figure out what it is about U of L that makes you hate them like you do? I asked this question of you before but you ignored it. I know lots of UK people who don't hate on U of L nor I.U. either one as much as you do U of L. I ain't never seen nothing like it, your true hatred towards them is almost comical to me, lol..

I'm glad you find it amusing....


Back when I found out that Denny Crum would rather geta win with his kids instead of making sure they got their educations is when I turned against U of L.......I was a fan until I saw the news report on how many kids actually graduated from Denny's teams over a given amount of years and the results were terrible when given on the news cast. No such thing as computer's to get records and such....But you know this sort of thing possibly went on at a lot more Colleges...I just know it didn't go on at IU while Bobby Knight was there.

Hate me if you want, no matter to me at all...But a Free ride is supposed to be for an education first and sports 2nd in my book....

Then you get more fuel to the fire when the newspaper article comes out about the Football Program and kids with 0.00 gpa's.....Plus the fans who think they walk on water..

Like I said before...I thought UK fans were the worst fans in the world at being obnoxious, hateful, spiteful and over all *******s.....Until I moved to KY and found out that U of L fans are the worst.

So now I root for IU and anyone who plays U of L in Football and Basketball......

I also root for UK now since my son roots for them and I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel of how good these UK teams actually are under Coach Cal....It just kills you Cardinal fans of the achievements UK has done since he has gotten to UK and it kills you to no end....

You U of L fans thought that once you got your great Messiah ( Rick Pitino ) that you would have one up on your Big Brother per say...But he hasn't done squat for U of L now after 10 years as your coach....

So there you now have the REST of the story........

[coombro]

They way the booted Denny out the door to get Pitino really was pathetic. I use to pull for them Cards til that incident. Now they have 15 seconds of fame. They just want to be like the Commonwealths team. Bobby Knight indeed one hell of a coach. We have 7 titles yet it took 3 coaches to get them.

Thanks! But you're lumping me in with a group of folks that I'm not in cahoot's with...sure I like to see the Cards win (only because I was born and raised here), If I was born and raised in Lexington I'd probably be a Cat fan....but really could give a squat less if either team doesn't win a game all season. I can't remember how many years it's been since I've even watched a full game of any sport.

Once again...I'm amazed at the amount of energy some people put into their hatred for different sports teams. It's almost like it's a religeon of sorts to some people. What ever floats your boat I guess.

So you say education first but throw your support behind the one and done factory at UK?

Makes perfect sense to me.

Don't know why everyone thinks Mills hates UL. Maybe he does don't know don't care. He didn't really come say so in his last post. As with his previous post's or thread's I don't really interpret it as hatred. He just points out the fact's of the misguided little brother.

Now that's funny I don't care who you are! Mills has voiced his hatred about Louisville on plenty of occasions over the years on this and the hunting board he used to visit. He has stated that he not only hates the University, but also hates the City itself. Yet he we can't get him to leave!

Oh Clyde, nice take. perfect example of talking out of both sides of your mouth. You rip Denny because of his teams grades, yet you admire Cal despite his team with Wall and Company that had a cumulative team GPA of under 2.0 (I believe, going off memory it was a 1.9)! You are just like your hero Knight, always the hypocrite! You really make this too easy!
