I saw this tweet today: In support of UConn: Facts: UConn is the only school to win a national championship coming out of the American Athletic Conference Mocking UConn: In the AAC’s 6-year history, UConn men’s hoops has finished in the top 4 ONCE (t-3rd), is 13-23 in league play last 2 yrs, has never come close to winning a conference its fans think it’s too good for, and routinely loses to the same Tulsas & SMUs they look down upon. The reality is that "Big East" is just a name. I'm fascinated by all sorts of companies that were "established in 18xx" that have zero lineage to the original, not to mention that the composition of the signature product is completely different as well. The Big East name and rights to playing in Madison Square Garden were sold long ago by the original owner. But for our generation, there is no question that the name Big East brings back all sorts of great memories, great rivalries, and great players. Kind of like the Browns "going back" to Cleveland. Technically, the Ravens are the "real" Browns insofar as lineage. But I digress... I think it fair to say that when it comes to sports, the first state anyone thinks of for top quality sports teams is not New York or California, but Connecticut. I'd be happy to explain why, but my phone is ringing and I have to take this call. And I need to feed my bunnies after that. And after that I'm also really busy. I'll likely forget I wrote this by tomorrow, so I guess you'll just have to accept this at face value. - Jeff
