That concludes our journey through the Big East. We laughed, we cried, but most importantly, we learned that previewing the conference necessitates lots and lots of words and pictures.In case you missed all the excitement here at FanHouse, here's the juice:
2006 Recap: Rutgers won 11 games and apparently experienced a brief epidemic of pandemonium;
Biggest Shoes to Fill: If you aren't Brian Leonard, Dan Mozes, Tyler Palko, Amobi Okoye, or Brent Celek, you have work to do;
Impact Freshman: Learn the names now so as to appear infinitely smarter to your friends;
Key Position Battles: It's like Jeopardy, except without Alex Trebek's smarmy answers;
Best Players: If Brent Musberger is doing a Big East game, you'll hear these names over, and over, and over . . .;
Most Underrated: The glue guys;
Most Overrated: Players that resemble Bill Clinton's presidency (zing!);
Coaches on the Hot Seat: As they say, guys that should consider renting, not buying;
Schedule Superlatives: Highlight of the best and most pointless;
Games of the Year: Given the Big East's track record, probable Thursday night affairs;
The Dregs: Hello, Syracuse and Connecticut!;
The Mediocre: The Miller Lite of football teams;
Contender One: Can Louisville carry the crown?
Contender Two: Morgantown -- City of Dreams (and Arson);
Contender Three: Did you know Rutgers won 11 games last year?
Contender Four: No passing game? No problem!
