RE: WOW ... looks like UConn hoops IS going to Big East

Yes. E.g., before UConn bolted, Aresco and all the AAC fans agreed that AAC football had made big strides the past six years. And all that happened with UConn. So kicking UConn football out would be a purely emotional move, nose-spite-face. Kicking UConn out doesn't bring in substantially more money, it creates scheduling holes. And saying UConn has sucked on the field is dumb, because wins and losses can change on a dime.
It's not rational at all.

But yes I can leave your opinion in the trash, where it likely will be refused as not good enough.
BTW, there was no need to get personal, but you went there time and again. I understand the argument from emotion can lead to ad hominem attacks, but they don't help your case. Best to stick to reason next time you try to win a debate with someone rather than petty insults.
First, I have not insulted you once. Feel free to show me where I did? If I insulted you, the entire board would be laughing at you, because I don't do that sort of thing half assed. You not understanding the difference between me attacking the merits of your post, and you personally, again not my concern. And again, nothing is emotional, except your unwillingness to accept you were wrong, and instead making up insults that did not occur, you change the subject and act as though your feelings were hurt. that is the very definition of "emotion," which you are guilty of. Yet you still have yet to defend the position YOU attacked from.
Rememberr this started from you calling my causes for concern for those suggestions moving forward "not as big of a deal as I made it out to be.," and that "no other conference or team would care" about who other teams play. Turns out, it is very much is as big of a deal as I made it out to be, and conferences and teams DO care, as I showed you, and from that point on, you made up feaux insults about you personally (not understanding it was a description of your logis, and not you), and continue making up things on this beaten path, instead of simply acknolidging you were wrong. Admit it and move up, but don't think you can just make up stuff, and change the subject, and none of us will catch it. Just admit it, and move on. It's not that hard.
Your bad memory is also not my problem. Nor is your apparent inability to differentiate between being emotional and being rational. Just because you refuse to accept or believe that I shot down the logic of your argument doesn't mean it didn't happen. And it especially doesn't mean that I have to repeat myself to you. You can go back and read, although it probably won't do you any good, and I fully expect you to come back with another condescending and baseless retort. Let's watch and see.
