Cuse Fan Here: We Want You in the Big East

by **TexanMark** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 2:03 pm

Your name is picking up steam as a potential Big East school on our board. I started a post and the comments were mostly positive.

FWIW: Syracuse fans seem real receptive to a 1-2 punch (TCU/SMU) to help garner a significant share of the DFW market.

Ofcourse, you don't have to convince the Big East fans...you need to convince the Chancellors.

What have you heard in Dallas?

Heck, I'd go right for SMU first. Let's end the ND charade, the Irish are like the girl in highschool that you settled for being friends with because you knew she'd never be your girlfriend. Well, the smart guys in highschool didn't hang on and got themselves a real girlfriend, and the dumb ones sympathized with Duckie from Pretty In Pink.

The Big East is Duckie. Enough already. SMU could be the decently hot chick that goes with you and feels like she's dating a winner, and that's the smart play all day.

Where do we sign up?

I'd like to see us, Houston and UCF all go. With TCU we can make a dent in the DFW market. Houston will give us support in Texas, and UCF is an obvious up and coming program.

UCF blows into TBL soon, leaving SMU in the dust. They average each game more than a sell out at Ford.

Gota get the peeps

game attendance isn't necc. the be all end all...

There is far more money in the TV deals which are accounted for by market not by fans...

SMU has a ton of value in the fact that its in a top 5 media market...If we continue to win, and then have a BCS busting season within the next 5 years we will be coveted...

Easier said than done...

Perhaps Iâ€™m just dumb, but I just canâ€™t figure out why UCF is the anointed school on this board (or any board for that matter). Look, theyâ€™ve made great progress since the schoolâ€™s founding in the 50â€™s and they have a monster student population, but so what?? They should be proud of the progress that theyâ€™ve made for sure. However, theyâ€™re close to 200 in the US News rankings with a $90 mill endowment (in a very weak Orlando market). Donâ€™t get me wrong, I donâ€™t mean for this to come across as some arrogant SMU post; we should all congratulate them on the progress theyâ€™ve made in 60 years. I just feel SMU is a giant in the making and SMU nation certainly should be prepared to take on any school (younger than 200â€¦). Plus, do we need to remind the world that SMU has won the conference Director's cup 11 out of the last 13 years (give or take)!?!?

Cuzz my son started there.

Good thing she doesn't live off the lake in Indiana...I really want to buy a lake home over there but they get pummeled with lake effect snow in the winter....

man I can imagine..no thanks.

To the 'Cuse guy: never mind us. I'm sure UCF fans hijack threads too

Then you should certainly be a part of the large UCF nation that is proud of the school's progress (like I mentioned), but SMU is really in a rare position for long-term success (IMO).

Honestly I don't think anyone talks them up much except me.

When they play I wear both colors but root for SMU
