This has become a mid major program. Time to accept it
Baldi - I can take reading it once, maybe twice, but check back on your posts. Now you're harping on it.
I like the Manhattan/Iona rivalry, but a Manhattan grad is sayin' - you are trying to bring SJ's down to Iona's (and Manhattan's for that matter) level - ain't gonna happen. Stop beating the drum when it's a) not true; b) not going to come true.
If you stated Sj's SOMETIMES plays a game at mid-major level, I could accept that as reasonable. Mid-majors aren't chopped liver anymore, so no harm there. But don't rile me up - I'll call Mazzella to straighten you out... 
I'm not only talking about St Johns. The whole league is Mid Major. Does anyone fear any team in the Big East? Villanova was the most overrated team this year and what happened to Creighton with the POY? They got smacked. How does St Johns and the league get better next year? I don't like it., I've been a St Johns since I can walk. But this is a shame
Just because the league had a down year doesn't mean they are now all of a sudden "Mid Major" status. This is a new league and it may not get much better next year but it will get better because they can afford to. The teams can afford top coaches who command seven figure salaries. Coaches can attract top talent to come to their programs because the schools can afford to build state of the art practice facilities and play in NBA arenas.
The league may not have preformed well in post seasons tournaments, but most of their regular season games if not all are nationally televised, so the players still get maximum exposure. Good luck finding a Iona game on national television, that's mid major. We are St. Johns!
I don't know why everyone is bragging about TV games. I don't even know what channel the Big east is on. I have to search for 20 minutes and when I do find the game, I'm upset because I wasted my time. 1 thing I do know, they aren't on ESPN
searching for a game for 20 minutes could mean a few things:
1. You are a broke ass and can't afford a tv package that has an on screen channel and content guide.
2. A remote control is so foreign to you that you fumble around, and hit the volume button instead of the channel button for 20 minutes
3. You are a broke ass again and can't afford the package that includes channels other than ESPN
Outside of those 3 things, your blatant exaggeration makes you look like either someone on welfare, or just a little bitch.
