This is a great example!  Very unlikely you are willie.  However, you use a TON of IPs, and based on that the software does correlate you with a bunch of other users (I don't think you're them either).

I think Freako is Ma, aina?

[4everwarriors]

I'm actually 4ever.

Speaking of which, how much are you enjoying this Marquette season?  Two of the best to ever come through the program playing at a high level, role players stepping up, guys improving as the season has went along and winning a lot of games.  Must be fun for you!

"Dead man walking"

[rgoode57]

Chris Holtmann would be a fantastic hire for DePaul - if he could be enticed there. I don't know what happened at OSU but he has been a very good coach for several years and could make DePaul relevant again.

Speaking of DePaul, there was along thread on the UConn message board about how bad they have been in the BE and can we throw them out.  Lots of sleeping giant comments but the best line in response to sleeping giants is "They're not a sleeping giant. They're a comatose midget. Even if they wake up, who cares?"

I don't have any idea if DePaul can be thrown out, but I believe the BE kicked out Temple, so maybe.

IF DePaul could be removed, I personally have not seen enough to support that drastic of a move.

I'll feel different based upon this next hire and the results. It feels like the past hires have almost been an "FU" to the Big East. An attitude of "we'll take the money and hire cheap (relative to the BE) unqualified coaches (Leitao being the most glaring - Tulsa Asst to Big East HC????) and not make serious investments in hoops"

I believe some conferences (SEC?) mandate a certain level of NET ranking for OOC games that could preclude DePaul, a fricking BE team, from being scheduled. - I could be wrong about this.   

For me personally, DePaul is in danger of serious consideration for removal from the BE. Not for game results but lack of effort to be competitive. 

[The Sultan]

They aren't kicking out DePaul. Temple was kicked out as a football only member a LONG time ago.

Is the BE precluded from removing them? I understand the practical arguments to keep them, but am curious if it is actually possible legally/contractually.

[Scoop Snoop]

We've been through this many times on Scoop. I do not remember anyone seriously believing that DP's removal is ever going to happen. They were invited to join the Catholic Seven when the C7 was desperate (I think) to get enough teams willing to float a new conference with plans to add a few more.

I will believe that they are serious about cleaning up their atrocious act after it happens, not before.

I'm sure the conference bylaws address the removal of a member.

You are probably right on this. I have NO evidence to support this, but I suspect Val may have warned them that their BE brethren are really tired of their crap and may push the expulsion issue. Strictly speculation on my part.

Can't recruit

[WhiteTrash]

While I write about DPU being expelled and that it could be moving towards a justified move, I wouldn't risk betting a cup of coffee on it actually happening.

[The Sultan]

I really doubt it. There is no indication that their colleagues are tired of anything, or have taken a punitive approach in response.

Can you imagine DePaul-Georgetown? They probably have to kidnap people and hold them hostage to watch that dreck!

Creighton fans are concerned Mac is dipping his toe in the water, possibly to OSU.  Feeling is he doesnt get that warm, fuzzy feeling from President Hendrickson (formerly from MU) since the plantation comment, or the support from his AD.

Well there is that, and OSU could double his salary.

[94Warrior]

Sounds like Hendrickson wanted McDermott fired 2 years ago, and the AD went to bat for Mac and saved his job.  That AD has since been replaced, and hand picked by the Pres. 

Oh, and the money, too.  Mac doesn't pull in what other coaches, considered his equivalents, are making.

Messin' with his happy, hey?

[BLWarrior91]

The Big East should figure out how to replace DePaul with Loyola.  Keep the Chicago market with a team that has elevated its program a bunch in recent years.

[TallTitan34]

Feel like more Marquette alums in the Chicago market are watching games than DePaul fans.

[Warriors4ever]

The Gentile Arena only seats 5,000, wouldn't that be a problem for the Big East? Certainly don't want a repeat of playing in Rosemont, and Wintrust is too far as well.
