I bet this has slick Rick's shorts in a few knots. I bet he's already got an angle on this one as well. Wonder how the diehard U of L fans feel about that?

Actually after their performance last year, 6th seems pretty good to me for them. That conference is unbelievable and honestly i am glad we are not in it!

Pitino wanted to play in and around New York and smooze with his bud Boeheim, his dreams are fulfilled. I don't think he thought that the Big East would continue to be as tough as it is.

You have to be careful what you wish for, on getting into the big east, because you might actually get more then what you bargain for.
