    Attendance guesses for the 3 games today

    Wrong. Your pathetic crowd estimates notwithstanding they got over 15k for every Creighton game last year. This year already saw 15k in today's afternoon session. Friends attended last year and this year and confirmed the building was a mostly full today. You're sadly mistaken and terribly...

    Attendance guesses for the 3 games today

    And I'll fully admit, even with NCAA violations and sanctions over the years, I respect Calhoun and UCONN and what they've done, how can you not? But man, with almost 20,000 undergrads and hundreds of thousands of alumni, 5k seems like a rough draw at home for the defending champs in their...

    Attendance guesses for the 3 games today

    Because people care about the BE and their schools and basketball history and NYC is fun and expensive. And no one cares about the American and the city of Hartford CT and Cracker Barrell can't compete with Midtown Manhattan?

    Uh, try 12,600 last night and 15,100 this afternoon. Waiting on tonight's numbers.

    Providence Creighton

    And don't look at the attendance because once again the "mid major" (laughable) BE outdrew the "high major" (even more laughable) AAC for the championship game. Creighton is no joke they tore up Nova twice. And we beat Creighton 2 of 3. Won't be long before Ed Cooley is the recruiting and...

    Nova, St. John's, Georgetown...all gone

    I sincerely wish UCONN luck in winning a game in big time football next year. Also I wish you the very best of luck in the AAC for years to come.

    BE Semi: 15,580 >>>>>>>>> AAC Semi: 11,888. :D

    Nova, St. John's, Georgetown...all gone

    Nope, if you watched on TV you knew it was mostly filled. Unlike other tournaments with 11k or less fans, and even the mighty ACC which had a lot of empty seats disguised as fans despite their inflated numbers. Further I had several friends there last night they said it was a very strong crowd...

    Nova, St. John's, Georgetown...all gone

    Almost as impressive as less than 12k for the "Elite" programs like yours. I respect UCONN for what you've done but don't talk smack when your own conference situation is a joke and your own tournament is not performing as well, even with the "big names". Our Big East semi final of Seton Hall...

    It's not round, its a circle! Seriously bro? Reread what you wrote.

    Nova, St. John's, Georgetown...all gone

    This thread is hilarious considering the BET is outdrawing the AAC tournament in hicksville. 15,580 last night for our semfinal vs 11,888 for yours. Choke on those FACTS. Enjoy your inferior league, especially once Louisville takes off.

    Big East basketball on FoxSports

    Creighton has outsold Syracuse who set the pace at 1800 all game tickets sold last year. I believe they finished over 2,000 sold and could still request more if needed. Creighton Bluejays ‏ @ gocreighton 1 Nov Just announced Creighton MBB's sold over 1,900 all-session tickets to BIG EAST...

    Big East basketball on FoxSports

    Certainly a possibility. There's also the possibility that the big d*** swinging frauds running college football run into a lot of problems if they attempt to split and or pay athletes. I have a feeling congress might have a thing or two to say about that (think title ix, lawsuits, etc etc etc)...

    Big East basketball on FoxSports

    A couple of things, Fox Sports 1 and 2 are about 12 weeks old , ESPN has been around for 30 some odd years. It's going to take time, but it didn't take fox long to already overtake the pathetic competition startups. They are beating everyone in ratings regularly with the exception of ESPN and...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    This was pretty good, Pitt's not even on the list, but Marquette, Nova, Gtown and St John's are. (Pitt is ranked 58, PC 66). http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/tag/_/name/50-in-50-series/count/1 BTW, the new Big East has 6 of its 10 teams in the top 50 most successful in last 50...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    What exactly makes Pittsburgh so special? They had a decent run for a few years (consistently making the dance) and a great student section, but their biggest claim to fame is 2 "national championships" in the 1920s and a final 4 in 1941? Hell PC won the NIT twice in the 60s, back when it was as...

    AAC vs Big East attendance

    Don't really care. The vast vast majority of their games are on FS1, which is exactly what I had said before the schedule came out and you doubted. Admit it, you were shocked to see that virtually everyone of their conf games is on FS1, and 4 OOC as well. Same goes for the entire league. Fox...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    I don't think anyone is excited about CBS SN, FSN or ESPNU for exposure, but for the fact that pretty much start to finish we can all watch just about every single PC game on TV (not streaming, etc etc).... That's unprecedented...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    I was being sarcastic with the brilliant stuff. No its standard, some users are having trouble grasping it. Further, they cannot grasp the idea that a business entity might market their site as .com and redirect to .org. Who cares? This thread is a total fail.

    AMA update on PC board

    you left off Marquette. And Nova is an established program like Gtown. They have their ups and downs, but they're usually NCAA bound. St John's is stocking up on talent and is on the upswing. I'm much higher on the new BE than the AAC, but I can see where it depends on your interests. I think...

    AMA update on PC board

    Sure. Both programs could succeed, they could flip flop, or the status quo could remain. The latter seems to be perceived as inevitable here. While I get the justifiable "show me" attitude about PC, the inevitability of UCONN's continued success is far from a given. I could very easily see you...

    AMA update on PC board

    You left out McDonald's All American Kris Dunn, you left out top 100 players Jalen Lindsey and Brandon Austin, and top 100 transfers Carson Desrosiers and Tyler Harris. In 2 years he's made them a winning program, won a couple NIT games, and brought in 7 top 100 players, and has 2 more 4 stars...

    AMA update on PC board

    In other words FriarJ, its hopeless give up. I mean whats the point of being a fan without hoping for a better future? PC can compete, they've beaten number 1 teams, they've been to two final 4s, they've been to the elite 8, and all this in the old BE conf. They are a school of 3800 students...

    AAC vs Big East attendance

    looks like 4 more OOC games on Fox Sports 1: (BC, Vermont, Fairfield, Yale), 1 more on FS2: (Brown), URI on CBS SN, Maine on Fox sports net, Umass on ESPNU, and Kentucky, Vandy, and the Paradise Jam tourney games TBA, likely national TV. So 18 on FS1, and at least 2 more likely on national TV...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    Again and this is the last time, the link works perfect. It's brilliant to embed their twitter feed into homepage of website. Love it. Also, just an FYI, they can and probably will market it as bigeast.com because joe avg is stupid and assumes everything is .com. It will redirect to .org or...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    The big east twitter feed is embedded into their website, brilliant actually. I went and found the tweet and clicked the link to bigeast.com from the embedded twitter feed. It opened a new bigeast.org window, exactly as I'd expect it to. Again, WTF are you complaining about exactly? I do...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    The AAC once ville leaves is clearly inferior to the BE. Fact. Also I can get to the BE site using .com (redirects to .org) or using .org. Works wonderfully, I have no idea what you're struggling with. You made it to is site, is technology difficult for you or something? Redirecting has been...

    AAC vs Big East attendance

    He said 24 national TV..technically fox network is national as all regionals will cover but it is buriedand probably has limited reach....Thankfully it's only 2 games that we know so far. I'm thrilled with what were getting, way better than in the old league .

    AAC vs Big East attendance

    Yes PC fan and yes I know we've been a joke for a decade. Ed Cooley is changing that...I know already that PC is playing BC OOC on FS1 in the first ever FS1 college bb airing. Also obviously Kentucky game will be on national, not sure of others yet, but Cooley seems to know because he told...

    AAC is bad, but check out this Big East idiocy

    1) redirects fine' most people will assume .com, so smart setup 2) it's a conference website, who cares? 3) just released TV schedule is sick 4) hearing AAC members whose football program is a financial boat anchor and perrenial loser that no other major football conference wants beat their...
