Just a note to say we'll try to do better at keeping this thread on-topic. Christyn, ONO, and matters reasonably related. Did some weeding and must say it's too bad to lose thoughtful posts, but we can't efficiently move individual posts elsewhere.
The problem would only get worse, as threads of this type tend to get very long. People attracted by the thread title, as some have already noted, shouldn't have to wade through a slew of off-topic sub-threads in order to find what they're looking for.*

* Not to derogate the intrinsic interest of the meanders thus far, such as conference realignment, history of NYU basketball, the Charde Houston experience, or that old bug-a-boo "UConn always gets the best players."
To say nothing (and please keep it that way) of "How far is up?"
