It'll be a shock to their system when they can't feast on an absolutely dreadful strength of schedule.
I must applaud your consistent use of the word "hayseed".
We don't know what they promote behind closed doors (and thus, our constant neurosis)... but publicly, you are off to a great start. haha
I appreciate anything that puts UConn in a positive light. But if I were making a pie chart of "Factors that will influence UConn's future...
The TL;DR version of the PDF for those curious : by instituting a Division 1-AA (and to a lesser extent, the non "major" D1-A conferences), the NCAA...
I'm going to motorboat my wife tonight in her honor.
Dammit Carl... You actually got me to read (ok, skim) that 64 page PDF... And I found it really interesting.
I'm in the camp that it was both the lack of talent and some poor coaching that killed us the last two years. But you can't possibly say this line...

No forced Blue - White chant with 100 people in the stands! And definitely not "Whose house? Dogs House!"
I'm just saying- leave no stone unturned. Leave no reason for anyone to question our merit on anything. Win first and foremost. Graduate kids. And if...
We can talk facts till we are blue in the face (and we have)... But if out overall perception stinks, in some small part because of that lawsuit,...
Don't read too much in to the analogy. I read it as : overall WM likes the younger up and comer as a hire.
I don't think you are reading me correctly. Aspiring to greater things, to want to play against the best, does not preclude me or anyone from...
I fear that if we put on that smiling face towards our conference mates, people will start to believe that we enjoy or believe we are exactly where...
He better be pulling some more major OOC matchups out of his rear for this to have a prayer. Our new BFFs in the AAC aren't gonna cut it.
Really agree on the concessions point. Everything non alcoholic should be flat out affordable. If they want to continue to gouge people on booze to...
I could be ok with this... Depending on how things go this year.
Need local, state, regional (New England plus NY and NJ), and national plans of attack to grow the brand. Local- working with local high schools to...
Hire HFD? :-D
I would honestly bribe people. $100 cash on the spot for 10 fans who are in their seats before kickoff. Is that worth $1000 per home game to get...
All true. I hope WM takes it to heart before trying to sell us how great our situation is.
The 6-6/7-5 team, their school, and their fans.
Our prior tie ins were bad, and it's gotten way worse. But hey we are excited to be in the AAC with some great "peers" so there's that.
It's a bad, bad movie... but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't entertained each time I watch it.
I could see 6-6 or lower being his demise. 7-5... On the fence. 8-4 I think he stays.
Basing it on thier history of "winning", eh?
As much as I kid- I'm happy to keep adding B1G feathers to our cap. Every little bit...
We all know that Women's Hockey drives the conference realignment bus.
Don't know why I'm bothering to respond. It's only $2MM relative to the AAC, and even that was more the result of craptastic negotiating clauses...
One of my favorite quotes. RIP Jimmy V.
Some threads were recently started by formerlurker to find an answer this question; they were summarily deleted. A disappointing reaction.
What a refreshing thread... good, topical discussion. Thanks to all who are contributing.
Per HFD... He got a little carried away creating a slew of meaningless threads on the men's board... All of which were deleted quickly and he was...
Sorry for not being more clear. HFD is banned – banned, as in, he cannot log into the site even if he wanted to. Unrelated to any Whaler payments.
