Top Ten reasons ACC chose Louisville

OK, a little tongue-in-cheek humor time here now that the Cards have safely been included into the fold of the ACC (Awesomely Cool Conference).

TOP 10 Reasons ACC Presidents Voted to Include Louisville

10. Conference meetings in Churchill's Turf Club on Derby Eve. (Woof!...)
 9.  Calhoun promised to come back as UConn coach if UConn got the nod.
 8.  Russ Smith called them.
 7.  Calipari paid off a couple more. No surprise there.
 6.  "Connecticut" and "Coast" start with a "C". Wanted to avoid 'All-Connecticut Conference' t-shirts.
 5.  Hmmm...Charlie Strong or Paul Pasqualie?...Seriously?
 4.  Ever tried to get a hot brown and mint julep in Storrs?
 3.  The thought of Geno Auriemma on ACC-TV was just too much to bear.
 2.  Officials were afraid UofL would bolt to C-USA if an offer wasn't extended
 1.  Another chance to "stick it" to West Virginia again.

TOP 10 Reasons the BIG EAST is a sinking ship

10. ESPN dropping TV contract. The Comedy Channel offering to pick it up.
 9.  Conference vote to add Bellarmine and Wofford as "football members only" almost passed.
 8.  They added the Pirates. The East Carolina Pirates. We all know what Pirates do to ships...
 7.  Papal support for BIG EAST now weakened since Notre Dame left.
 6.  Accepted Tulane because "it's really easy to spell and they got Mardi Gras!"
 5.  Calipari offering to buy league.
 4.  New league logo is a moving van with a flat tire.
 3.  Lee Corso being considered for Conference Commissioner
 2.  Landlord just raised rent on BIG EAST Corporate offices.
 1.  Arkansas offering to join if they change the name to PIG EAST.

Thank you and good night! You've been a great crowd!  We'll be here two more weeks. Be sure to tip your bartenders and waitresses.
