Today is the Big East football Media Day. The coaches and certain key players from each team will be on hand doing quickie interviews and press conferences. On such a day, optimism will be the theme.
What a difference a year makes.
For the first time in three seasons, every member of the Big East wants to be in the Big East. Miami and Virginia Tech are gone. So is Boston College. In their place are Cincinnati, Louisville and South Florida, three schools that will be vitally important to the future success of the conference.
“We feel good about it,” said commissioner Mike Tranghese. “It’s nice to have people here who are excited about being here. Last year was a hard year.”
The BE coaches pre-season poll will be released today.
The Big East also has a football preview. The actual preview is in PDF, and this borrowed laptop won’t let me download the latest Adobe Reader to take a looks, so I can’t tell you what the propaganda press released info on Pitt says.
At least I know there will be stories tomorrow.
