So random. Jersey City still smells like a dump though.

I keep waiting for St. Peter's to come back to earth and lose by 20, but here we are..

It’s mocking Villanova.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I feel like the difference between an 11/12 and a 15 making this run is being undersold. 15s are actual cannon fodder. You get some pretty damn good 11s and 12s occasionally.

Well I think they have more wins this tournament as a 15 seed then 15 seeds have had throughout history before this year.

Villanova is a Philadelphia school. All Big 5 schools are Philadlephia schools. I will tolerate no dissent on this.

Nah, you've gotten a few. Lehigh vs Duke in McCollum's Junior year. Oral Roberts last year. Florida Gulf Coast vs Georgetown. Jamal Tinsley's Iowa St team losing to Hampton.

Maybe it's more wins beyond the 1st round? I think that might be true?

They’re not but ok.

Any school that actively goes out of their way to prevent another ACTUAL city school from joining another conference deserves no protection.

POS school is POS.

Hmm. I’ll see if I can find where I saw that statement and see if I can get clarification.

Then why did they call "The Philadelphia Story", "The Philadelphia Story" and not, "The Not Philadelphia Story"?

Because people are stupid and this city will latch onto anything so that they can pretend they’re not losers.

Villanova does not care about the city of Philadelphia and the other schools in the actual city. They care about themselves and have shown that time and time again.

Irrelevant. Villanova (the town) is a suburb of Philadelphia therefore Villanova (the school) is a Philadelphia school.

Ah, a suburb of Philadelphia which means it’s not actually in Philadelphia and thus not a Philadelphia school.

So the Philadelphia Union (who play their home games in Chester) are not a Philadelphia team?

In this situation, no.

Is Rowan a Philadelphia school?

Look, a school that actively attempts to get in the way of another school in the city improving their standing does not deserve my respect.

This is before my time but did they not essentially break up The Big Five also?

Meh, I assume you're referring to Villanova blocking Temple from the Big East like 10 years ago? At the time, Villanova had pretty good football team that was more or less shut out from making the jump to FBS (in the Big East) because of facilities concerns. They were acting in self-interest, yes, but Villanova was rightfully so a little pissy with the Big East, and they weren't about to just willingly give up their conference advantage to another city school.

Looking back 10 years later, I'm not sure it would have really mattered. Villanova doesn't even really recruit the city itself. They more or less stick to the PA suburbs and the MDV. There would have been very little crossover against Temple for recruits.

 

[Jack Straw]

In this situation, no.

Is Rowan a Philadelphia school?

I never heard of it.

Look. I get it. You have an irrational hatred of Villanova. It's ok. You're not alone. If in some way denying reality improves the quality of your life, go for it. But Villanova is a Philly school. Everyone knows this. Some just refuse to acknowlege it.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Most of my disdain comes from the name of the Big Five itself due to the college that I attended. While they’re not known for their athletics they’re the most in the city school that exists and yet a school that isn’t even in the city proper is included.

Do I lie awake at night thinking about this? No.

Ok, that's understandable. What school are you talking about? More "in the city" than Penn or Temple or LaSalle?

 

[Cody Webster]

Drexel?

Did you go to Abner's? Excellent hoagies.

Didn't know anything about St. Peter's until five minutes ago but they do play some solid defense, trash schedule of course, but 19th DRTG out of 358 teams nontheless. That Ndefo of their's is a 6'7" super shot blocker, the Ben Wallace of the MAAC.
