Water Cooler Comment That Will Make You Sound Like You Really Know What You're Talking About "Did you know Larry Brown is coaching at SMU? Yeah, that Larry Brown. When SMU plays Louisville in January, it will be the first time Brown has coached against Rick Pitino since November 2000, when Brown's 76ers beat Pitino's Celtics by 24."

Re: Official Game #1 Thread: SMU vs. TCUWho's excited for American Athletic basketball?! I don't know about you, but it seems like every winter for as long as I can remember, I've found myself longing for Southern Methodist University and the University of Central Florida to rekindle one of college basketball's great rivalries. And not only did the formation of the American Athletic Conference make that happen, it also brought back the storied UConn-Houston rivalry! Remember those two times UConn and Houston played? Man, that was something. And then UConn won its national title in 2011 in Houston! I bet that really got the Cougars' blood boiling!
Anyway, the one big thing I'm looking forward to with the AA1 is that it will provide the first conference game between Louisville and Memphis since the 2005 Darius Washington game. Outside of that, it's hard to find a reason to care about the conference. There will be a handful of decent teams to go along with defending national champion Louisville, and it will be interesting to see Memphis actually compete for a conference title after years of cruising through Conference USA. But with two of the bigger programs leaving after this season, zero historical context, and a terrible, generic name, it's difficult for a neutral fan like me to get excited about the Battery. 1) What about playing off of "AA" and calling the conference "the Battery"? Aside from confusing everyone who didn't read this footnote for the rest of the season, is there a reason this wouldn't work? I know "the Battery" isn't great, but it beats the hell out of the alternatives. I'm sticking with that unless someone sends me a better idea or I finally cave and start calling it the American. ------------------- I say we all adopt the Battery nickname. It's great "smupony94: Harry, you have been promoted to purveyor of official status capabilities."
Re: Official Game #1 Thread: SMU vs. TCU
UConn, Memphis, Cincinnati and Temple are better than decent. They are all good quality teams. I hope you are being sarcastic about your entire post because SMU and UCF are not a great college basketball rivalry. And even after Louisville and Rugers (Rutgers may not be very good this year anyway) this may still be a 4 to 5 team NCAA bid conference. #HammerDown
Re: Official Game #1 Thread: SMU vs. TCUCan't wait for the game! Going to try to make all three games today.

I am indeed. Mark Titus is the most sarcastic writer on the internet. The basketball board is a stress-free zone. "smupony94: Harry, you have been promoted to purveyor of official status capabilities."
