The answer to who damaged the Big East is contained in this item: Who recommended declining ESPN offer to extend deal? Presidents? Commish?

New system? I don’t think so. Have you seen something different or are you just assuming that Sumlin’s departure will result in this. I think a good number of the offensive staff remained in place.

Both offensive coordinators left. Kliff Kingsbury followed Sumlin to A&M, Jason Phillips is now at SMU. They may try to run the same system, but their offensive and defensive staff are almost entirely new.

“New coach, new system.”

New coach? Yes.
New system? I don’t think so. Have you seen something different or are you just assuming that Sumlin’s departure will result in this. I think a good number of the offensive staff remained in place.
New QB? Yes.
New players? Yes.
New conference? Not yet, still shitty CUSA.

That’s good stuff.

It’s even funnier if you imagine me twitching halfway through it.

I never knew it, Spencer. And, as for the CUSA/Big East rivalry (CUSAtitude!), well, we’ll just have to see who actually ends up playing there before a winner can be declared

Indeed. If there is any constant in the conferences these days, it’s that you have no idea who is going to be playing in each one from one year to the next.

SMU has never been afraid of a little coke I’m afraid.

That’s good stuff.

Is there a school in the Big East with a better football program than Houston?

Houston is going to have a pretty big drop off this year. New coach, new system. Graduated a ton of starters.

cokermania sounds like a psychotic disorder.

Larry Coker is probably psychotic. And he kind of looks like Jason Voorhees. The name is approved

Looks like SMU is afraid of a little Cokermania and Franchion…atude.

Is there a school in the Big East with a better football program than Houston? Because if not, it’s apparently not as tough as C-USA.

Wait, what? I’m saying that CUSA is better than the Big East. You shut your whore mouth

And CUSA is the conference we’re about to leave for the Big East.

Considering Conference USA is becoming Sunbelt II, I think it is.

Looks like SMU is afraid of a little Cokermania and Franchion…atude.

It’s also probably false
