Give Louisville, WVU, and TCU some time to recruit better, and national championships are not out of the question! TCU cannot be held back by the computers any longer, and TCU's ranking will draw some nice point hops for the rest of the Big East. SEC and Big Ten better watch out.

(This might be slight over-optimism...but...what the hey!)

I agree that the Big East is looking like a possible giant killer conference. Let's see how the future expansion goes and who joins us but I like the idea of a conference with Florida rivals, Texas rivals and the traditional Big East conference rivals. No one will ever be able to say the Big East does not have fertile recruiting grounds.

I'll stand by the decision. If someone is warned once, and, afterward, further exercises the option of being an a$$hole, then that's the consequence.

I didn't ban him, but had I not been beaten to it, I would have.

I agree. He could have started his flamming ridden posts on the smack board where plenty would have been glad to engage him, but he was starting threads and posting all over the place with no good intentions.

Well this board is a pretty tight community...I'll let you guys work it out. If he hasn't been banned before...maybe you consider letting him back on with a short leash. Let him know unsolicited flames start on the Smack Board. Just my 2 cents.

BTW, you guys do a great job at moderating. This board has a great collection of posters.
