Having other fans talking about Uconn is a win for us, whether bad or good Uconn is still being talked about...

I will say this Carl Slacker always posted about a report where former s e c commissioner of mike slive compared UConn to SEC schools. maybe the crazy son of a gun was on to something!

UConn to SEC!

 

[Adios]

UConn to SEC!

Sweet! Is that really it?

 

[noeynox]

That's probably a premium board that no one here is likely to have access to.

 

[Jaichim24]

Well doesn't the subject of the post say it all?

UCONN TO SEC.....puke

The must have mispelled "Duke". Common failing of Auburn grads or they just adopted our nickname for them and forgot to captitalize.

 

[Adios]

A&M fans have more sense.

Yes! Keeping the post alive......Would you prefer an HFD rant?

This about sums it up:
"The day the SEC admits a yankee team into the league is the day I renew my interests in crocheting and tiddlywinks."

 

[Adios]

I was actually thinking if we went to the SEC, we'd be renamed the "UConn Yankees" by the SEC.

It doesn't help that our band plays the Battle Hymn of the Republic before every game dressed in Union Blue. Might have to switch to Dixie which is a song that ironically Lincoln liked alot, one of his favorites.

After spending 3 days in a hotel of all South Carolina fans, I would have to say the band playing this in Birmingham was one of my happiest moments as a husky fan

They are not talking about you. They are laughing at you. How do you correct that?

Who cares?

 

[weyuo]

Wrong answer. You correct it by kicking ass on the football field and out ranking the ones that would laugh at you.

 

[junglehusky]

That's fine and dandy but it won't change the perception, at least not for a few years if not decades if we can't get in a league with some recognition. We already kicked SC's butt but I don't imagine that made much of a dent in their minds. Heck, it wasn't enough of a dent to get us in the ACC ahead of Louisville.

 

[weyuo]

You put in the same sweat equity that the Alabama's & the Auburn's & the Ohio St's have put in over the last century. What did you guys think was going to happen when UConn went D-1? We were gonna recruit 5 or 6 guys, win a conference tourney and go to the big dance? Sorry guys but putting in your dues in college football is a lot more involved than it is in basketball. You have to earn respect in a sport that has been around longer than basketball.

 

[StoweD210]

So, we've got a century to wait until UConn goes to a better conference. I'll plan accordingly.

Yeah, but then, a few years after that, we'd have to update the mascot to resemble a "meaner" looking Yankee.

No. But don't think your gonna put a mediocre football product out there for a decade or so and try and call in some lame chips like "well we are 30th in the TV market" or "we belong more than somebody else because we have a basketball team that can compete in a football driven entity". Come on man, let UConn whip Michigan this year, clean up on their league and win a bowl game. Then next year win 10 or more games in a season and end up ranked. Then do better than that the following year. That's what I'm talking about as far as sweat equity and paying your dues. "Put up or shut up!" Walk the walk then maybe one of these other conferences will talk.

 

[Fishy]

We need to pay our dues.

You know, like Rutgers did.

Wait...

Pretty obvious they did something that UConn didn't do now isn't it?

Yes. Built their school in huge Dma. We should have thought of that.
