Notice no basketball only schools.

No kidding. NIce recruiting tool is bringing the recruit to a football game, huge advantage imo. Offtopic I know but when you think of Homecoming, usually it centers around a football game. This is just a guess, but im thinking campus life is a helluva different with football. Iona has since canceled football, as has St Johns- but what goes on at Homecoming now?

Sex, drugs and rock and roll?

All are better with football. The players usually get the best narcotics, and they have Tight ends

Do you think that's the reason for no G'Town or us. ?

We dont deserve to be on the top 10 right now but there is 100% no way NC ST and UNLV should be considered giants over us and even other big east schools. All irrelevant because I know what Steve Lavin brings to the table and feel confident that he can get the players we want

At what point does campus and student body trump the coach though?

UNLV is cleaning up yo.

I have no idea what the UNLV campus and student body are like. But if thats the case wouldn't you have to factor NYC/MSG?

I think we overrate MSG.

I lose respect for Telep for not even including us in the 3 years from now category.

Guys relax these are the same guys that had now ranked 47th last year. I'm not holding stock in any of this

I think you meant they GET tight ends.  They might have them but not my cup of tea.

UNLV when winning has a pretty crazy atmosphere.

If you're a top player wouldn't it be extremely attractive to you to play your home games there? It would be to me

I'm not mad about it or anything just disagree with his opinion but of course i'm biased

If youre a top player, you probably already played there a few times already. If not, youve played in bigger,better places. Plus our student body fanbase cant compare to that top 10
