The Big East football conference was flawed for a multitude of reasons. But one of the only reasons it wasn’t was the annual lobster-eating challenge staged at the league’s preseason media days.
Around these parts, we covered the proceedings as closely as the games themselves (those GERG years were dark after all...). And if there’s one thing I’m envious of the American Athletic Conference for, it’s the continuation of that event despite zero sensible ties to it anymore.
While we do love the ACC (especially the money part), its stodgier nature at times does get the best of it.
