Are you trying to tell me that prior to joining the Big East these teams were any better than Illinois, Purdue, and Minnesota. I see a bunch of teams that got absolutley smoked by mac teams in their bowl games prior to joining.

[Crimson09Crazy]

I'm not telling you anything, I just felt like bringing out some good ole Billy Madison.

And teams aren't allowed to get better? I didn't know that rule was in place

[El-Moldo]

Again......Sagarin Speaks!!!! In his FINAL 2009-2010 college football poll, 6 Big East teams were ranked in the final 41 teams. There were only 4 from the Big Ten. The next closest one to #41 was Michigan State, at #55. So what can I say? Crimson09Crazy asked if teams aren't allowed to get better? Perhaps the Big Ten teams are getting worse? Something has changed.

[KirkHerbstreit]

Crimson - I have a question for you. When you and Moldy share a romantic night together is there any truth to the rumor that he has Jeff Sagarin tattooed on his lower back. You know a tramp stamp.

[Crimson09Crazy]

It usually ends up in a bitter argument about Forest Hills and McCort. We can't get past that.

[The Ancient Enemy]

The Big Ten was courting Texas and Nebraska and the Big East fans were giddy over Memphis and Central Florida.

Some observations Kirky...I recall a game (being generous) @ the Beave a few rs back between Toledo & UPS

It was something like the Klinger's Fighting Blue Hens 26 UPS 6...they kicked your arse :lol:

Toledo Penn St
First downs 25 9
Rushed-yards 54-245 27-30
Passing yards 140 136

Punts 5-39.8 6-41.8
Fumbles-lost 0-0 2-1

And never get on the Bulls of USF who had the most Meteroric rise to Div I FB in History!!

[KirkHerbstreit]

I highly doubt you, as a Pitt fan, want to get into arguments over losses to Mac teams.

Furman is another funny story.
