Just like ECU, another failed football program (only 4 winning seasons in the past 11 years) who has been dying to join the Big East for its money.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." ECU is that scorned woman.

And here is what I was talking about when I said this stuff is a 2 way street. If people are going to post garbage like this then this is going to be a never ending cycle of crap.

Which is the "crap"? My post or the one to which I was responding. I notice that you still haven't taken the OP to task. You sound pretty defensive.

Well he did at least link an article and offered smething to discuss. You just hurled an insult at ECU that wasn't at all on the topic of his link. The topic is Boise's get out of jail free card from the BE. This can either get on that topic or end up in the smack forum. I'm betting smack sooner than later.

If you hadn't noticed the "topic" is to insult the Big East. That was blatantly obvious right in the title by calling it a "pre-nup." Stop trying to legitimize his comment as though it were an attempt at serious discussion.

He insulted our conference & he received an insult to his school in return. Sorry that you & any other ECU fans undeserving of an insult were offended. The shot was not intended at you but to give him in kind what he gave us. That shouldn't be so hard to understand.

With that being said the joke was great and he got his +2.

Just bustin your chops WTR. You said some key words there, that some others fail to do......"A lot of". Big difference than all. I didn't respond to him, because that's what he wants. To get a rise out of "Some" ECU fans and then bust chops because "Were All" b*tchin all the time. He wasn't jokin, he was trollin and most of us ought to feel dumber after reading anything he writes. That aside.......Congrats on the invite. :ecu:

RE: Boise St makes the BE sign a Pre-Nup (L)
Yes the OP did insult the BE, but there was also a topic actually worth talking about that he linked. It is very interesting that Boise demanded and got that many outs. My opinion is that it shows the position of strength Boise was in and the desperation of the BE. I dojubt any other member got nearly as many easy outs. If this opinion comes off as an insult of the BE I apologize, but I think it's worth a real discussion that won't be possible in this thread most likely.

Evidently you haven't opened the linked article.

It is a common occurrence on most message boards, including this one, when a poster is sharing an article, blog, etc. from another site to utilize the title that the original article use. That is the case with this thread. In fact, one could learn this nugget of information by clicking the link and seeing at the top of the article, in great big bold letters this:

Quote:Boise State Makes Big East Sign Pre-Nup

With that said, I am pretty sure you owe the OP a public apology for your now clearly bogus and unfounded as the title of the thread wasn't from the OP, it was from Jason Kirk, the author of the linked article on SB*Nation. Perhaps after you apologize to the OP for your unfounded and classless attack you can make a comment in the provided comments section at the bottom of the article to defend your honor from the supposed "insult" that Jason Kirk hurled upon the Big Least.

That has nothing to do with it. I am just applying common sense to what makes a long lasting relationship. I am sorry that you could not understand that. Hell hath no fury like a Melky Cabrera who cannot see that the teams they are inviting only want a conditional relationship where they can escape when they stop loving the BE.

I think that the primary reasons we wanted to be in the Big East were because (1) it was a much more friendly conference from a geographic standpoint and (2) we wanted to be on a level recruiting field with the 4 other FBS schools in our state. If we just wanted the money, the story about us being willing to join without taking any of the BEast's money wouldn't have existed.

With the Big East's geography being now being worse than C-USA's, I don't know what our leadership wants.

They would still join as of today no questions asked, all sports or FB only. Now if AQ status goes away I am sure we would still join all sports, but FB only might not be worth it anymore. The merger is going to be a pretty darn good basketball league, potentially 3-5 bids, and a really good baseball league so it would be tough to want to leave that for just a FB only and have to dump our other sports in at best the CAA, but potentially even lower. Not saying we still wouldn't do it either, but it would certainly be a much tougher decision than it would be right now.

RE: Boise St makes the BE sign a Pre-Nup (L)
Chappy is the only respectable ECU fan, the rest just bring the fanbase to a whole new level of low. I've been coming to this board since it was created a few months ago just to see what the latest news on conference realignment was. It got to a point where I had enough of ECU fans bashing the BE, constantly complaining why they get no respect, complaining about how they are more deserving, degrading other schools, not just BBall onlys but FBall members who have not lived up to their AQ status. Blah blah blah blah blah....yeah don't deny it because you know you have. Did you guys have a secret meeting to plan how to annoy everyone? I've had enough of "drop DePaul, USF, Rutgers, etc...they haven't amounted to anything in the BE and bring nothing to the table, we are WAY better than those schools." Just shutup, accept your fate and try again in a few years.

And why are you guys upset? The guy takes a cheap shot at the BE by saying the BE is desperate and thinks that's the end of it? When someone else comes back with a snide remark you get upset? Whats wrong? Like to dish out the insults but get mad when someone spits it back at you? Are you a bunch of junior high school girls?

On one of the threads after the BE announcement, a USM poster said congratulations and said it was time to move on-if they had been more successful they might have gotten in; you guys on the other hand shift to fifth gear with the BE belittling. Sarcastic comments about "Marketing" how the BE is "DEAD" and how they wont get any bigger TV offer than that of what ESPN asked them because...what was it? Those Conf USA teams that the BE picked up didn't help them with a big TV contract how are they going to help the BE?

When TCU announced their move to the BIG XII their fanbase said sorry it didn't work out guys, we wish you the best of luck and went on their way. Some still post in the BE board without actually insulting any institution for their "unworthiness."

Class ECU;many of you do not have it.

Yet another self righteous blowhard who obviously doesn't read an entire thread.

I'll type this next piece slower and in large letters so even the simpletons that obviously make up the majority of the Big Least(er) can possibly get it through their miniscule minds.(Since Melky and the poster quoted above didn't catch it the first time, and the rules now obviously say you can paint an entire fanbase based on a handful of message board posters the next obvious conclusion is that you can do the same with the collective fanbase of an entire conference)

THE POSTER WHO STARTED THIS THREAD DIDN'T TAKE A SWIPE AT THE BIG LEAST WITH E TITLE OF THIS THREAD. IT IS A WORD FOR WORD COPY OF THE TITLE OF THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE, WHICH IS LINKED IN THE FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD.

Now you girls pull your panties out of your nether regions, dry those crocodile tears and seek out another straw man to prop up there as an example of somebody "Dissin' our conference yo!"

RE: Boise St makes the BE sign a Pre-Nup (L)
ivet...the issue isn't so much that ECU or USM weren't invited, it's how ridiculous the process became as time passed. Honestly many of us didn't think it was likely for ECU to get an invite. When WVU left, that was the deal breaker for me, frankly I didn't care if we got an invite or not but you couldn't write this script if you tried.

I mean honestly taking USF, SDSU, SMU and UCF are CLEARLY nothing more than a market grab, don't kid yourself. Boise was a desperation grab for AQ points that looks pointless now. To the fans that have been snubbed that's hilarious. Over time we heard (especially from CatsClaw) about a massive TV contract coming, how the BE could raid the ACC....blah, blah, blah we heard it all. ECU's name has been dragged through the mud relentlessly by some posters on here, way before I remember seeing your first post.

I think the BE is a great basketball conference that should have just split or added Temple and Memphis.
