You're way early.

[paulxu]

Wasn't today the day of all the festivities on Fountains Square and Reds game for X fans?
What happened?

Tomorrow.

Has another drink.

Has another drink.
Since I don't plan to be up at 12:01, I made the switch early.

[GIMMFD]

LET'S ALL GET WASTED!!!! NEW BEGINNINGS

(I couldn't find a .gif of Rod Farva from Super Troopers popping champagne, but that was supposed to be inserted here.)

[El Shaqtus]

Have a great celebration tomorrow gentlemen.

It's been a pleasure.

I guess with the closing of the A-10 area here, it's time I quit bugging y'all.

You've been a great contributor, man, and as a St. Louis native, I wouldn't mind seeing SLU in the Big East in the near future.

No, please stick around. We need reports of how much the rest of the A-10 hates udump- that is until St. Louis gets in the Big East also.

Dude, you have my vote for the funniest avatar on this board right now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCC!!!!!!!

[paulxu]

You would think with all the time (and $ for the new conference) that ESPN would have updated conference listings ready for today.
But...nope. Still showing 6 teams in football Big East. Did move Pitt and Syracuse to ACC.

But no AaaaaaaaaC conference in sight.

Happy Athletic New Year Everybody!!!!

We are now officially in the Big East.

[Masterofreality]

Here's Pat Forde's analysis of all the conference moves:

AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCC: "Huge Loser"

Big East: "Solid Winner" (although he goes into a rant about how the league was behind on organization -disregarding the fact that fall schedules had already been made, a TV contract in hand and a Commissioner hired. He put the hiring of Val Ackerman in the "wait and see" category)

Villanova looks like Hogwarts.

For those of us with (too) many years following the progression of our school, the slide show at the bottom of the link I posted above is a wonderful trip down the memory hole of all the people whose vision and accomplishments brought us to this day.

Happy Xavier University Day!

July is a great month - my birthday month, my anniversary month, and now the month Xavier becomes a member of the Big East!

Go Muskies!

I've added the clip to the Front of the thread.

According to that clip, our only sports are apparently men's and women's basketball, men's soccer, and swimming. Interesting.

That's because we never allow cameras on the golf course! :medicated:

Interesting article on how Creighton got here: http://www.omaha.com/article/20130630/NEWS/706309914

I noticed that as well. I'm happy X is really promoting the soccer team as a side note. Something good is brewing there.

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Great, great day for Xavier. X took a giant step towards its transition into a major power in college basketball. Congratulations! I am so proud to be a part of this.

Definitely worth a look through, especially for the Welcome to the A10 video.

So how was Big East day yesterday?

[Masterofreality]

BIG!

Even Mike DeCoursey wrote a column about it.

Today is the first full day with no type of connection with dayton. This is the greatest day of my life.

They need someone to vent on for their miserable existence.
