If you missed yesterday, I'm actually a bit envious of you. It was a crazy day (as we knew it'd be) with the news on Sunday that Pittsburgh and Syracuse had left for the ACC.Then, our morning post reporting that Villanova had applied to become an ACC member. really rang the bells
That set Twitter ablaze. We set our own records with over 6,500 page views from 86 retweets. We experienced the highest site traffic in the history of the blog (thanks ACC fanboys!). For some reason though, those fanboys seemed to take our enthusiasm for our administration being proactive as claims that we were ACC-bound. Weird people, I must say. But we don't hate the site traffic, really.
In any case, that led to me breaking down the possible scenarios for Villanova in this whole conference realignment mess. Also of use to you will be Rumble In The Garden's breakdown of the Big East's reaction to the news.
