Re: A conference is more than one team
I'm a Blue Hen fan so I can't pick on the team or program but I can take a shot at 89.
Does anyone else find it interesting that he is a great poster on AGS but over here he is nothing more than a poor man's alexale23?

Tell that to the PCC, dude. They've been skating by on just Gonzaga for years.

Re: A conference is more than one team
And Socon is hanging on ASU for 4 years, MVC has UNI, Big Sky has Montana, GWFC has Cal Poly, NEC has Albany, etc., etc., etc. I have YET to figure out how having some team come out of nowhere every year somehow makes a conference "better".SuperHornet wrote:Tell that to the PCC, dude.

That's only because you haven't had a team not named Montana "come out of nowhere" (or somewhere for that matter) from the BSC since 1984.AZGrizFan wrote:I have YET to figure out how having some team come out of nowhere every year somehow makes a conference "better".

Re: A conference is more than one team
That's a circular argument at best, Hen. That STILL doesn't explain why the Russian Roulette you guys play every year in the CAA somehow makes YOU a better conference....89Hen wrote:That's only because you haven't had a team not named Montana "come out of nowhere" (or somewhere for that matter) from the BSC since 1984.AZGrizFan wrote:I have YET to figure out how having some team come out of nowhere every year somehow makes a conference "better".
The fact that a team can go from the NC game to 3-8 in ONE year speaks VOLUMES about the coach's ability to reload and recruit, not about the relative strength of the conference. IMHO.

Re: A conference is more than one team
Heck, the CAA isn't really even a conference. More of a scheduling association.
How can you have a conference if you only play 3/4 of the teams?

Re: A conference is more than one team
If it were just different teams winning the CONFERENCE and then failing in post-season against the other confernces you'd have a point. However it's different teams going to, and winning the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and beating a bunch of other conference champs on the way. Only four teams have won the NC in the last six years. Three are from the CAA... all different teams.

Re: A conference is more than one team
You know, I used to get after Montana for being in a one-team conference, but began to think that, hey, how can their success somehow be a failure of theirs?

I can see how being good and then falling off the map would need some justification as to why the mediocrity occurs.
