-kj Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 According to Wikipedia, some of that seems wrong: Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

illwauk Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Marquette and DePaul weren't in the Metro. I'm not sure about their conference before they joined the Great Midwest - were they both independent?Marquette, and I think DePaul too (along with Notre Dame) were members of the Midwest Collegiate Conference (now known as the Horizon League) before joining the Great Midwest.See also: Saint Louis and Xavier (now of the A-10). I remember watching MCC games back in the day. I don't remember ND being in it, but I definitely remember Xavier and DePaul.Notre Dame was indeed a MCC member from 1982-86 and from 1987-95 (presumably, they didn't play in the conference for the 1986-87 season). DePaul was never a member though, which suprises me since pretty much every other major Catholic school in the Midwest was a member at one point or another.EDIT: Didn't bother to look at page 2 before posting and didn't see Mockba's post... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah, that's weird, because I swear I remember seeing SLU play DePaul on a regular basis. Maybe that's just after the GMC was created.

gdu Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=metro+conference+logoNothing that hasn't already been posted in this thread comes up.From the OP:"Anyway, I've never seen a logo for the Metro Conference (whose official name was the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) and Google searches give me nothing.Surely they had to have something...does anyone know anything about a Metro Conference logo?"

Old School Fool Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Speaking of conferences I never knew about, I was playing NCAA Basketball on SNES the other night and I noticed the Big 8 Conference. By the way, the game sucks ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Wasn't the Big 8 the non-Texas Big 12? So, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, etc? All of which are, for some reason, abbreviated as _U? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch B Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 The Metro was a decent basketball conference for schools who were independent in football. If I remember correctly, VCU in Richmond was a member of the Metro towards its end. I attended a game where VCU beat Louisville. "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."
