TCU isn't really in what I would consider the "Mountain West" either, but word is the MWC is gonna invite TCU. Shrug.

sabotai · 11-06-2003, 09:01 PM

Yeah, but at least TCU is kind of in the west...if I look at a map, there are mountains near Texas.

And that doesn't even go into their number problem.

Central florida is near Mid America?
Idaho in the Sun Belt?
Kentucky is the Southeast?

Oh yeah.. Like University of Dayton and xavier are near the Atlantic, never mind Cincinnati and Louisville being part of the Big East?

Ragone · 11-06-2003, 10:35 PM

Well.. Louisville is further east then say.. Depaul. or Marquette

Hell Louisville is closer to the Atlantic then say arizona is to the pacific

I have always wondered where the Big Sky was.

I wish Idaho was a basketball member of the Sun Belt. The Vandals would probably be the only Sun Belt team that UNO could beat.

Any truth to the rumor that the SEC is looking to add University of Hawaii?

Maybe its a regional thing, but growing up my entire family was from Kentucky and Tennessee , and as far as I knew, Kentucky was always considered a southeastern state... the states above it such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and such we considered the mid-west..

Interesting thought that other parts of the country consider different places as such..

Another one I ran into like this was I always considered Texas as Southwest United States.. (primarily due to growing up on the east coast.. anything out that way was southwest).. when moving to Texas though, everyone considered it more of a southern state, and a state like Arizona and New Mexico were considered Southwest..

Anyhows I have wandered from my original point, which was I dont see anything weird in Kentucky being considered in the SouthEastern United States..

I guess from a geographical standpoint, you couldn't consider places like Illinois or Indiana or such as "midwest" but from a cultural standpoint, that is how it was always perceived at least from the southeast.

on a different note though, it was always very hard to consider Florida as part of the southeast.. it always felt like it's own entity... maybe thats just because it was filled with a bunch of northern folk that moved there to retire
