Syracuse had a loss. Wasn't that an exhibition game though? Yes it was which is the best part of Andy's streak. Keep talking.

It was over after Navy.

I would think the money he's owed will play a part, but I'm sure some alum will kick in most of it. I think if he wins the last 2 games and a bowl it would be tough to get rid of him. Plus, if Clausen, Floyd, and Tate all come back if he stays, then they'd be dumb to let him go. No, they wouldn't. Weis had Clausen, Floyd and Tate this year and he's going to go 6-6.

For someone who talks about how little things matter in college basketball this early you sure like to brag about meaningless Big East things. There are 20 posters in this thread who will spend the entire season fellating the Big Ten, so I guess I just have to pick up the slack, don't I? I just thought it was a cool little run to have at the start of the year. I'm not stupid enough to draw blanket conclusions about the Big East based on mostly meaningless games, but it's good to see Cuse beating up on UNC, great to see DePaul beating a good mid-major team. Since I really don't think Notre Dame's going to be making headlines apart from Harangody, I'm planning on enjoying the entire conference, hence my interest. While there are some B10 homers here, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that you will talk about people fellating the B10 a great deal more than it will actually happen, which is saying something. I was exaggerating about the B11, but I'm the only major Big East fan here - the only other people I know of who even have a team in the league are the DePaul alums - so that might mean I talk about the league in my posts once in a while. Like I said, I'm not drawing any conclusions like "OMGZ THE BIG EAST IS THE BEST" based on 41 games, about 35 of which were pillow fights with nothing teams. I just thought it was a cool streak.

Providence's loss to Bama ends the Big East's run at 41 wins. Too bad.
-
Big East improves to 37-0 as bottom-feeder DePaul tops perennial tourney team Northern Iowa and Nova drops Dayton. The streak will almost certainly end tonight when Syracuse plays UNC at the Garden, but it's cool to see.

I hope they get in the top ten pick picture. DIAF

I didn't see the game, but the ND hoops blogger I read said that Notre Dame fell into what LBSU wanted them to do (running to avoid their pressure D, etc.) and only Hansbrough seemed unfazed by it, slowing the team down numerous times. They played well in the first half before Harangody started pounding them inside and the Irish pulled away. I'm already home for Thanksgiving break and won't be back til a week from Sunday, so I will miss the Davis game. I'd forgotten about Joe Harden - I'm just hoping BSU can reel off some wins against their relatively weak segment of the schedule before getting into the Purdue/Dayton portion of the schedule.

Notre Dame handled a pretty good Long Beach State team by 20 tonight behind a 29/12 from Harangody. Tim Abromaitis is a new name that looks like he will make noise for the team this year, and Ben Hansbrough has been lights-out from beyond the arc. On the dark side, we only had six guys in double digits for minutes - Mike Brey looks like he's sticking with his insane streak of never having much of a bench that has worn down the Irish year in and year out. The Big East is 35-0 overall and Syracuse clocked Cal tonight. No idea how long this will last but a cool streak. And for what will be the last time I imagine for a very long time, the Irish entered tonight ranked #1 by the RPI system.

It's classic Panthers. With the apparent fluky exception of 2008, they haven't won a regular season game they had to have since 2003. I fully expect them to win the next two, then take a big lead on New England in week 14 to get my hopes up one last time before gagging on their own spit just like they did against New Orleans.
-
We learned nothing from this game. Carolina still sucks and hasn't gotten a big defensive stop in six years.
-
Villanova always seems to not be that great when they're projected to be great. Lucky to escape GMU.
-
Based on their bodies of work so far, I firmly believe that future civilizations will dig up all the draft magazines that debated "Russell or Quinn?" before the 2007 draft and conclude that our society was primitive and stupid.
-
I went. It was depressing. This week we got word that we're doing a home-and-home with a freaking FCS team in 2013-14. When we visit Illinois State in 2013 it will be the first FBS at FCS matchup since '04. And our stupid athletic director admitted that he hadn't looked at the facts on that but still claimed that such matchups 'happen all the time'. To think that a year ago our biggest problem was that we hadn't beaten Miami (OH) by enough to move up in the BCS.
-
Stacey King rules. He's just as homer-ific as Red was but he's also a pretty good analyst, which Red, bless his heart, was not.

But, they scored in the 40s thus the whole Big East sucks. Or will that not apply this year? Georgetown runs the Princeton offense and almost never gets more than the low 70s. They're also young and not that good (yet). A lot of that apllied to us last year and it didn't stop us from getting the whole conference branded. And now you have a ton of ranked teams and everyone is sucking your conference's collective [expletive]. No reason to still be bitter.

Yay for the Big East remaining undefeated after Georgetown rallies to beat Temple.
-
This league is one of two I'm in where I'm the highest-scoring team but am in 3rd place. I was in 5th place with the highest-scoring team until winning last week, oddly enough. A stroke of bad luck has my two defenses going against Indy and New England, so I picked up the Cardinals D, which faces the Rams this week. Should be a fun matchup.
-
Ronnie Brown is out for Thursday's game. It'd be nice to be back at .500.
-
Damn. Well that'll do it. You want him gone or no? I can't remember which side of the fence you're on.
-
Okay, earlier in his tenure, but what does that have to do with the team that is out there now? It's a BS argument. Weis had his best seasons with Ty's recruits. I'm not defending the argument GR made, but give Ty those teams and let's see him win 19 games in two years. I'm setting the over/under at 4.5 fewer wins that Ty would've had with the same crew.
-
Mike, I'm officially apologizing to Derek Anderson. He's probably not a good QB, but watching this atrocity I'm finally truly convinced that there's pretty much no way anyone could play well behind center in Cleveland. Which isn't to defend Brady either, he's been bad tonight. But they need some offensive playmakers if any QB is going to win for them.
-
Assist to Browns wideouts for dropping two passes into picks. And seriously, does he suck that bad in practice that you can't call a single deep ball ever? But yeah, it doesn't look good right now.
