YES!!!

 

It looks like y'alls RPI takes as bad a hit as ours will.

 

Nice try. You have officially been left in the dust. The A10 was almost as strong as CUSA before adding Charlotte and St. Louis.

 

Not the present CUSA.

Look at the conference RPI's over the past eight years, its neck and neck. Then you add Charlotte and St. Louis and it is at worst a lateral move. Good luck in your mediocrity, if you were not already there.

 

Whatever pi. I was just making a friendly observation.

 

No you werent. You were taking a shot at us by saying "y'alls RPI takes as bad a hit as ours".

Sounds like jealousy to me.

I am simply pointing out the inaccuracy of that statement. Our RPI will not take a hit but yours, on the other hand, will drop off the charts.

Look on the bright side, you wont have to schedule any more OOC cream puffs because the will all be in your conference now. Lets get a pool going to see who can guess how long it takes dirtbag-Calipari to get out of town.

 

Sorry dude. I almost forgot what a dick you are. Thanks for the reminder.

BTW...We lose :

Charlotte...95
St.louis......57

We gain:

Tulsa........64
Rice..........97

Looks like a wash to me.

Oh, and we have 29 games on national TV this year...how many you got? Cal's not going anywhere either.

And jealousy ??? That needs no answer.

 

Oh, just take our RPI from last year, real courageous. Why dont you run it back to the beginning of CUSA and compare our numbers, loser.

You are the one who came on a 49er board talking shit about our new conference so whos the dick? You fucktard.
