I love it.  Xavier is destroying Cincinnati right now.  33-14 and at the line shooting two.  Hope they keep the foot on the gas.

nice !  but you should be watching frosty right now

How about Frosty Returns with Jonathan Winters!!!!

I'm not a big fan of the one that's on right now. The claymation christmas ones are my favorite. Rudolph and the year without a santa claus. Then the one with the burgermeister meisterburger and then charlie brown then the original frosty.

I'm 43 and I watch these literally every year. lol

100%

1) Rudolph  2) Frosty 3) Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Burgermeister Burger) 4) Charlie Brown

Good list but you gotta throw the Grinch in there

Xavier wins the Crosstown Rivalry by 17. 

BTW-I always liked Mick Cronin and his teams are always tough and know how to defend.  But man they can be hard to watch offensively sometimes.  No flow, bad shot selection and low percentage shooting.  They play a lot of ugly basketball even when they win.

tru dat. forgot about the grinch. thats a classic also

heck it might not be top 5 but I love that one with the baby new year kid with big ears

And another big ear one that people my generation might remember and I haven't seen it in awhile and just thought of it.   Nestor the long eared christmas donkey.

I'm going to find that one on youtube to watch it

Movie wise polar express was real good. Obviously christmas story is a classic and I watch it's a wonderful life every year

Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol is near the top, and Yogi's First Christmas is also very good.

MJ: Nestor is included in one of those holiday multipacks. Comes included as one of the sub movies under the main famous feature.

Loved Yogi, but when is it ever on TV anymore?

Good for him.  @NJHoopsHaven: Here’s the word on Sterling Gibbs: “Hyperextension and bruised knee, out 1-2 weeks.” Best possible news for Gibbs & Seton Hall

@SterlingGibbs4: Finally leaving the doctors office with good news! Nothing serious

It's not. I debate every year whether to pull the trigger on Amazon, then always put it off. I have two daughters so will use them as an excuse for the purchase.

Cronin-Roberts games were the worst.  That is probably why Roberts faired so well against Cincy.

@KevinMcNamara33: It's an 18-3 run to close the half at Providence as Yale ties, 35-35.

GT trailing Elon by four with a minute left in first half.

Interesting particularly as Fox has TV rights,  I took this with a grain of salt.

PC beats  Yale by two.

GT also in control up 9 w 2 minutes left.

Big Ten is the deepest, but I think we could be second.  Our league will only get better IMO over next few years as well.

For some reason it seems to me like Kilpatrick has been playing for 10 years

"We" could be...We could also be the 5th or 6th deepest.  Whereas the Big 10 and the ACC will NEVER be 5th or 6th even in bad year because they have so many programs (Mich St, Wisconsin, Ohio St, Duke UNC, Syracuse (soon to be Louisville) that you know will be Good/Great every year.

Syracuse is BETTER then any BE school including Nova.  UNC and Duke are as good as Nova and in most years they are going to better if not MUCH better.  And I have not even talked about Louisville.

Depth is relative to the number of teams as well though Fordham, as it relates to percentage of good teams compared to teams in the league.  Not arguing that the ACC is better at the top, but after the first few, I think we have more good Big East teams. 

P.S. as we speak undefeated Pitt lost to a Cincy team that was just blown out by Xavier,

Right.  2 years ago Xavier blew out Cincy as well, a CIncy team that went to the Sweet 16 and went 12-6 in the BEST conference in the country, the BE. 

And they beat Pitt by a point after Pitt missed two FT's to go up 3 in an UGLY game.  The X beat Y who then beat Z is the WORST argument known to man.  It does not work.  Do you really think Xavier goes to Pitt and would beat Pitt by 20??  Or even win the game???

And I'll say it again depth is nice, the A-10 has had depth, but you are defined by the 3-4-5 teams you can count on being really good.  The BE is not even CLOSE to that level of the Big 10 or the ACC even in a down year for them.  NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Not even close, yet last year the A-10 got more teams last year into the tourney than the ACC.  Isn't that a pretty decent measure of close vs "not close"?   I'm sorry, but this year the ACC aside from Cuse and Duke really isn't very good.  UNC is coming on and has talent but who else?    Don't bring up Louisville because they are not there yet.  To say its not close is silly at this point, when the results on the court aren't showing that.  A 9-0 Pitt team just lost to a tough but unspectacular Cincy team coming off a blowout.  I'm not buying it.

Nova is better than Syracuse.  I doubt Syracuse would make it through this Big East with less than 4-5 losses.  There are no easy games outside of SH--and even that contest is tougher than it has been in the past.  Sure, there may be no Louisville like last year, but there is terrible bottom of Rutgers, SJU, USF, Depaul, and SH.  Depaul still isn't good, but they are much better than they've been been the last three years.

I agree with you that the top of the conference isn't exactly murderers row.  I liken it to a pitching rotation that has no ace, but three or four #2 guys.
