THE BIG EAST RESPONDS: THE RACE IS ON!
As the saying goes: “Don’t go negative first, but when it happens, go hard.” These guys must have had this one in the can, because the Big East has responded to the SEC’s attack ad with a smear campaign of their own.
To quote the venerable Admiral Josh Painter:”This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”

You know why there’s so many Irish in the south? because back before we booted out the Pohmmies, Georgia was the official overseas prison. It was Australia before Australia was. In fact, Australia was settled in 1788 as a direct result of losing the Georgia penal colonies in 1783. so I guess that explains the drining, fighting, and general lack of class.
And before anyone talks smack, I was born in Macon, GA, and was concieved on prom night, so I’m definitely in the know here.

Yeah DC and Now Ireland is richer (per capita) than England.
My point exactly. If it hadn’t been for the Scots and Irish, the English wouldn’t have had an empire to lose. I suppose that’s a dubious distinction?
My only queasiness in all this is the nagging feeling that if the Scots got independence they’d end up more like Turkmenistan than say Denmark or Ireland… (to pick three countries with ~ 5 MM people, one of which is crap.)

Wooderson, this is facetious, right? I mean, did you even look at the stats?
SEC OOC Div I-A Record: 27-7
Big East OOC Div I-A Record: 26-8
SEC Total OOC Record: 33-7
Big East Total OOC Record: 32-8
To help you out with the simple math, that means that Big East and SEC have faced the same number of Div-I OOC opponents (34), and the SEC has beaten 1 more than the Big East. This is while the two have faced the SAME number (40) of OOC opponents, before you start complaining of conference size. Before you start making generalizations, check the facts.

Tanner says:
By the way, if you were going to say that the season isn’t over, and that the end of the season would have more non-Div-IA OOC opponents… last year SEC and Big East had the same percentage of Div-IA OOC opponents (83%).

The self -flagellation that is Chic-fil-a’s “closed on Sunday” policy is admirable; but when I’m forced to eat at Wendy’s or Checkers instead, it seems more like the work of the devil.
Notre Dame fans should pray Weiss never tastes the heaven on a bun that is the Chic-fil-a sandwhich. He’d join the SEC or ACC then throw two games a year just to make sure ND always gets an invite to the Peach Bowl.

The Irish came to the south in a few waves some even on their own recognizance, there was either New York or Savannah or if you wanted to fill the swamps and die of yellow fever/malaria, New Orleans.
And some have made the correlation why small towns in the south have some of the highest murder rates in the country: “Let’s fight!” “Thems fightin words!”
Good book called Cracker Culture talks all about this.

Check all the monuments scattered about the non-Virginia southern states. The armies that plowed through there were mostly made up of Midwesterners. It was the pansies from the Northeast that couldn’t whip Bobby Lee on his own turf until Grant showed up there.

Tanner says:
Since you changed the terms of the debate, Wooderson, I’ll play along. Out of all of the D-I conferences with which the Big East conference teams have played 50 or more games, the record against the SEC(67-111-11 for 38%) is second only to the Big Ten(147-324-19 for 32%) as the losingest. This is all time, not since the creation of the conference in 1991, but it demonstrates the type of power we’re talking about here. By the way, over 60% of those 189 games were played against Kentucky, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt. Impressive competition.
The Big East has had several wins in the past couple of years, mostly against bottom rung SEC teams, but we can see the quality of the present makeup of the Big East by looking at their pitiful record against the SEC.

WV applied to Congress for statehood – a request which was granted and approved by Abe Lincoln provided the state constitution abolished slavery.
Which worked out for the best b/c black people want to live in WV anyway.
And yet, they continue to elect a former KKK wizard to the Senate every 6 years.

Re: PSUgirl #35–
As a football conference, the BE is seriously lacking in snobbery rankings. As a basketball conference however, ND brings it way up, and St. John’s, Providence, Marquette, Seton Hall…there’s some snobbery to be seen.
The SEC, on the other hand, is a one-team conference: Vanderbilt.

I’m not gonna rip on WV. That is, assuming you have all your teeth. I’m from Iowa, I don’t regularly eat corn, and I’m not (currently) on meth. Wooderson’s Irish, and he hasn’t carbombed any British embassies lately or molested any altar boys.
We may have lost the War of Northern Aggression, but we did end up with all the pretty women.
