Trolls abound!

Tough combination for any opponent to deal with - tremendous athleticism and growing confidence!!!

Free advice - stop responding to CT Ball fan... He is either clueless or a troll... Or both...

Well of course he is! How else can Syracuse land anywhere? Nobody is beating down a door to secure Syracuse's membership in any conference. What do they bring to the table? However, more than that, their proactive involvement in this effort shows two things. 1. The ACC is likely finished...

Exactly! I would have been surprised if he did anything differently at this stage of the proceedings. We have some issues of Federalism extant in this litigation and ultimately Federal courts may have to get involved to sort out the jurisdictional, venue and choice of law issues. There is a...

Message to Husky nation - embrace the BS! We can luxuriate in conspiracy theories. (Already, there is a god damn "grassy knoll" in each and every one of my days...) I am right there with you! You do know that the Politburo of the NCAA is in charge of FF travel arrangements - right? Anyways...

Another reason to pull March Madness away from the corrupt NCAA... What a joke! They clearly sucked up to the P-2 and soon to be dissolved ACC. With Seton Hall, St.Js and maybe PC, the BE gets another 6-8 units. Well there is nothing more to do now except smash the crap out of Alabama and...

It must follow that if you suck at both FB and BB you have a decent chance at being safely ensconced in a P-2 or Big 12, ACC type conference. Consider BFC, Syracuse, Rutgers, WF etc. I guess we shouldn't excel at anything, lest we ruin our chances to move on to a better conference situation...

Maybe they already are...

Great to be off the schneid vs. New England opponents! Let's sharpen up D and pitching and get on a little run here.

Inspiring is so accurate. Those freshmen grew up a lot in one night! They are building quite a portfolio of memories!

The best thing about Geno is that he doesn't care and doesn't need it to be validated. He is ultimately comfortable in his own skin!

Regarding CtBallfan, as I have noted before, we need to stop arguing with idiots. In any arguments with idiots, they will try to bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience... Best to treat them like a pimple on the ass of progress. They are a mild, but annoying irritant...

What possessed Barry Trotz to take Wood 15th overall? Trotz is nobody's fool. Wood regressed this year and that's coaching pure and simple. If the coaching doesn't matter, why is UConn paying Cavanaugh near the top of D-1 hockey coaches? Go back read Blades' post yesterday. He nailed it...

And after two more important pieces enter the portal. it's hair on fire time! And you say - "That's a little dramatic"? That statement is akin to the control tower at Pearl Harbor saying "we have a little usual air traffic this morning" on December 7, 1941! We've all been patient with you...

UConn can definitely do better with the money they're paying. After being a punching bag last year, Maine was a 2 seed in the NCAA's this year. They brought in a Carvel assistant from UMass at less than half of salary of Cavanaugh. DB would have qualified D-1 coaching talent knocking at his door...

What should we expect 12 years in? I respect your position re: Cavanaugh, but I think it's wrong. He needs to feel the heat for 24-25. We are not progressing as we should. One trip to Boston and zero NCAA appearances in the his first 11 years is simply unacceptable. Wood going to the portal...

mac2351 and Blades covered this pretty accurately above. But don't think for moment that Barry Trotz, Preds GM, wasn't involved in this decision also. Cavanaugh has been fully exposed. Then DB panicked in giving him a ridiculous contract. We'll have to have him a another year and see we are...

Penders deservedly gets wide berth given his long term success at the helm. This team, however, is in need of a radical make over! 0-3 against other New England teams is unacceptable!

Agree - but never give up an opportunity to get a hair across your ass about some real or perceived slight! We roll pretty good under either...

Let's see how it plays out... So far your imagination about everyone knowing about Raycom hasn't been borne out. I just want to hear the major players speak under oath. (Even if the power of the oath doesn't always work, it will likely give us some good leads...)

Stay tuned - we'll see - don't forget that the onerous requirements coupled with the GOR were put in place years ago. It probably was at time that none of the intrigue with Raycom was even on the radar. If Swofford did half of what FSU alleges, it is a serious problem for the ACC ( or should...

Some good questions, but a fiduciary's duty remains affirmative. That's what people don't seem to get. I want hear more. We'll see. In the meantime, FSU and Clemson feel comfortable enough that they will be placed in a P2 conference when all is said and done. Other ACC dominos (the so called...

I'd like to hear more first. Did the Raycom deal benefit Swofford's son? If so, did the Raycom deal negatively impact the ACC's side of the deal? Was that impact disclosed with bells a whistles to all ACC members? We'll see - but a fiduciary usually cannot discharge his duty of loyalty by hoping...

When are we going to hear about the alleged chicanery involving Swofford's son and Raycom? When the merits of those claims are sorted out we'll see what is left to talk about. Swofford undeniably had a fiduciary duty to represent all members of the conference with the highest degree of loyalty...

Even Jay Bilas believes BB can break away ala CFP. UConn can be a major player in such a move. It remains farcical that UConn bumps along financially while the likes of Syracuse, BFC get $30mm per year. ( Rutgers getting $65mm is beyond farcical!). With the ACC blowing up, we'll find some...

Agree re: Brass Bonanza - the Whale won one playoff series in 20 years. Being nostalgic for the Whalers is like being nostalgic for the Titanic. Lose the damn song - it may be cursed anyways...

I think Swofford's chicanery involving Raycom and his son will go a long way towards blowing up the GOR.

I wouldn't trust any of them now. It like the scene in Titanic when everyone realized there were not enough lifeboats. The remnants will do anything to weasel their way a spot and past alliances be damned! One thing is for sure - the ACC is dead and we should be happy that they continually...

24-25 is the year that well deserved heat is on Cavanaugh. 11 years, 1 trip to Boston... Time for him to earn his keep. Like the Winnebago man said - "no more BS, especially from me!" Get it done or hit the road - end of story.

I've said this before - taking March Madness away from the NCAA would kill it! There no reason why the elite college BB teams can't replicate what the football powers have done. Cut the NCAA out of March Madness and the NCAA will dry up and blow away...

Are the Storrs brothers buried under Toscano?

Let's hope pitching comes around. It looks pretty awful right now...

Pairwise becomes even more inscrutable late in the season.

I am sure JCJ does superb work in certain situations. But, perhaps not in building smaller, college hockey rinks. That's what a JLG does! Also, don't underestimate the possibility of "interference by committee" when the decision makers (bureaucrats) got involved...
