DarkJourney Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 To be honest I don't really see anything great about the Louisville program. Football sucks. Basketball program is legendary but hasn't won jack in years. Nice new arena. That's about it.8 trips to the dance in the past 9 years is more than any team in the SEC not named Kentucky can say.Doesn't everyone from the Big East get in the tourney anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgetown missed on 05-06 and 08-09. UConn missed in 06-07 and 09-10. Villanova missed the first three years of Jay Wright's tenure, from 01-04. Marquette missed in 03-04 and 04-05. Notre Dame missed in 05-06 and 08-09. Cincinnati made the dance last season, but before that they hadn't made the trip since 2005 under Bob Huggins as a memeber of Conference USA. St. John's hadn't made it since 2002 under Mike Jarvis. Pitt is the only other Big East team that can claim 8 trips in 9 years.Louisville went to the Final Four in 2005, and the Elite Eight in 2008 and 09. So I simply can't agree with your argument about them not winning anything in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yeah, people need to relax. If BayouJim has a source that is giving him some good information and some bogus information... who cares? Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is a either a rumor or hear-say... and it a lot of cases, both. There has been so much flying that its impossible to keep up with everything.Just look at the 2 major changes, Nebraska and Texas A&M. When rumors initially broke about Nebraska joining the Big 10 (along with Notre Dame, Rutgers, and Mizzou receiving invites), didn't the Big 10 come out and say oh no, we are happy with 11, we are still 8-12 months away from investigating expansion. Then within weeks, Nebraska was officially part of the Big 10. Same with Texas A&M. Rumors broke that they were headed to the SEC with 3 other schools getting invites (Miami, Clemson, and Florida State). The SEC came out and said how they aren't interested in expanding and they are happy with 12, blah blah blah. Then I think with in 10 days, A&M got officially invited and accepted into the SEC.Everything on an ONLINE forum needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Everything is heard from someone else who knows a guy, who is friends with a kid, who goes to school in the same city as the Conference Commissioner's brother's kid. I love speculating and thinking of all the possibilities, the good moves, the bad moves, etc. Its a lot of fun, but... its ALL rumors until the School/Conference announce they are headed to a new Conference.

Lights Out Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Missouri BoC authorize exploration of conference alignment. Looks like they could be heading to the SEC.And Brady Deaton stepped down as chair of the Big 12 board of directors. They're pretty much gone no matter how much the Big 12 tries to spin it.What this tells me is, if the rumors of BYU and BSU marketing themselves as a package deal are true, their chances of getting invited by the Big 12 just improved immensely. BYU has already publicly expressed interest in the Big 12, provided Oklahoma stays. However, it came out yesterday that Boise State's president has been privately lobbying to join the conference as well. Folks, we may be seeing two of the most successful mid-major programs finally get to make the big move up. Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
