dream" big east football conference

is that ND has the best of both worlds, big east in basketball, and huge money from independant tv contract. and psu, is not going to change anything, till paterno is out of there. but i think like bc, they have come to rue the day they joined the big 11". they have no natural rivals there at all. dont play pitt anymore. and bc, doesn’travel well with their fans, so no matter how well their football team plays, they keep getting invited out of the acc to really minor bowls in places like tenn. also, as small private catholic school, they have absolutely nada in common even with say wake forest or duke. and have to travel with all their teams all the way south to the carolinas and VA.even georgia . at least with south florida, its good for our recruiting. and the kids on team , including the local florida kids, probabl y love to journey down to tampa area once every couple of years. the reality is that the new commissar should get motivated and make strong overtures to either or both maryland and or navy. and grabbing maryland would be great payback to the ACC. they also have a name"basketball program. and starting out with marvin graves and the guy playing for denver,from a few years ago, we recruit real great talent down in md for lacrosse, football,as well as basket ball. and i believe, from the past few years , we have seen that both rutters and wvu, would be very postive about viewing md as a rival in all sports. the geo factor thing. spare thoughts? the way temple is playing right now, they are looking good in football, great basket ball program. but they could not fill their tiny stadium. and i would love to see us play army every year also. big 11" is totally overated. penn state got beat in their own stadium this year by iowa. and got run over by usc last year in bowl game, michigan is having massive problems. as well as michigan state . and nobody is gonna tell me, that purdue, ind, illinois, mn, et al, are ever gonna be top ten teams . even their top 2" michigan and osu, almost never, ever beat quality teams like usc. and tressel and donatanio of michiganstate are throwbacks to woody hayes era.

gonna admit, tho, his teams have played both miami and florida, and beat them this decade in bowl games. but that is a total miss use of that kid from pa , they recruited to play qb at osu. at oregon, south florida, wvu, the kid would be a big time star right now, anyplace they run the spread run opton with some pass.
