Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Good ol' Crazy Joe Lubrano. You know that this clown went for years talking about being an All-American baseball player for ped state and even had it as part of his official bio on his company website. It turns out that he was a walk-on who never once took the field or had an official at-bat.

And they think that THEY would have been the glue that holds that conference together.

The lack of self-awareness on that board is hilarious.

One thread talks about how they will always be superior to Pitt (and have seen threads about how they are superior to Syracuse/WVA/Maryland/etc) and then in another thread they talk about how it would be great to be in a conference with all of those schools.

Love the arrogance of dipshit poster fairgambit:

I personally favored then, and now, what I call the BIG RIVALS CONFERENCE. It would be Penn State, Rugers, and Pitt. They would only play two conference games each fall, which given the intensity of the Rivalries, would be more than enough. Then, as a bonus, you could load the schedule up with less meaningful games like Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, LSU, Florida State, Oregon.....

Play two mediocre teams twice a year for their conference games and then play "lesser" teams like those that have either recently won, or at least played for, a national title (within the last decade or so). That would be the only way they could consistently win a conference title.

Bets on how long your posts last on BWI? As innocuous as it is, the cult will put into a tissy since you hit them with FAX and EVIDENTS. :lol:

I think his post is actually made in jest.

Ha - they could go 2-10 and win the conference. Or 1-11 and tie for winning the conference. That doesn't seem like Joe's way of doing things. Chuck it deep when winning by 3 touchdowns against Rutgers, get pissed for being called out about it, and claim national championships even though you refused to play for them - that's the JoePa way.

It also completely ignores the NCAA rules about needing a minimum number of teams to actually organize as a conference. Not that these fucking mutants care about rules (either the NCAA's or the rules of society)....

I'm 38 years old. When I was a kid, our family had an Atari 2600. Everyone probably 60 years old and younger, maybe to about 25 to 30 probably know what an Atari 2600 is/was. Anyway, we had this one game called E.T. Yeah - it was based on the movie. I've recently learned that it has been dubbed the "Worst Video Game of All Time." While I don't remember it being a good game, it certainly wasn't terrible. Anyway, I guess Atari lost a million dollars on the game, which amounts to about 100 billion dollars in 2015. Anyway, as the legend goes, Atari buried all these extra copies of the game in a landfill. E.T. has been credited with killing Atari.

So, fast forward to 2015, and someone made a documentary about Atari and the E.T. game and digging it up. They found the game, but they also found a bunch of other games and crap from Atari from when they died. "They" (whoever made the documentary) concluded that E.T. did not actually kill Atari. Atari was going to die anyway.

My point?
The cult is out there, yelling that E.T. killed Atari, and they want everyone to know it. Atari, in their minds, is the greatest video game system EVER. Atari "did things the right way" (success with honor). Any claims that Atari was a bubble that was about to burst gets ridiculed by every internet tough guy under Yar's Revenge. The cult will stop at nothing; and even if they dig up all of the proof they need that shows that E.T. did NOT kill Atari, they won't believe it.

The hidden secrets are in that landfill, unless the landfill shows evidence to the contrary.

I had the ET Game too.

I don't get why they need to realign or anything.

It's not like they need any kind of recognized championships to put a year up in that "ring of pretty good seasons" they have.

Ha. Well, UC certainly was Ohio's BCS team.

Cincinnati would have been an extremely shrewd move. If that conference had gone ahead with Cincinnati, I think the Big Ten would have imploded by now, Think of all the talent in Ohio that would have gone to Cincinnati instead of O$U - remember how Cincinnati was the better team in Ohio just a few years ago, when they played in the BCS several years in a row?

The Big Ten would have imploded if this "Eastern Conference" had brought in UC? "ALL of the talent in Ohio" would have gone to UC instead of OSU. Right.

As far as being the better team in Ohio - they were 11-3, losing in the Orange Bowl to Virginia Tech 2008-2009 (Ohio State was 10-3, losing to Texas in the Fiesta Bowl ) and 12-1, losing to Florida in the Sugar Bowl in 2009-2010 (Ohio State was 11-2, beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl). I guess someone could say it was "arguable" that they were better. I won't believe that they were better, but I won't bother wasting time if someone tries to make the silly claim. Note that those are 2 of the 4 years that the football team has EVER finished in the Top 25 (history going back to 1990 - is that how old the program is?)

Another poster in that thread mentioned that he thought an original Big East conference would be comprised of Ped State and Boston College, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, and West Virginia. So, I checked their history against those teams and lo-and-behold those are the same six teams they played virtually every year from 1980 up through 1992 (final non-B1G season). In fact, here are the years during that timeframe they played:

Boston College (1981-1992)
Pitt (1980-1992)
Rutgers (1982-1992)
Syracuse (1980-1990)
Temple (1980-1983, 1985-1992)
West Virginia (1980-1992)

So, they played Pitt and WVU every year during that timeframe, BC (1980) and Temple (1984) all but one year, and Rutgers (1980, 1981) and Syracuse (1991, 1992) all but two years.
