And you said no P5 wins, right? So are you saying you were right or wrong?SCar was 7-6 that year, Wake was 5-7.
My response was to a statement made that if UConn were in the ACC the UConn women's team would dominate the rest of the league. It wouldn't based on recent recruiting by Duke and ND. This coming season the UConn women's team should win it all. Although Baylor's loss to Ville shows anything can happen. After this season, based on the potential of the recruiting classes, ND and Duke would have a chance to be national champions. UConn would not dominate the ACC is what I was alluding to.ND?Heck their not even there yet"I still think of them culturally as a BE/C7 type school and like RU's WBB team have occasional run's but it'll take 5 or 6 years of utter dominance to compare them with the Lady Huskers.....theres us,Tennessee and maybe Stanford then a drop and the next 20 or 25 teams are up and down(Baylor,ND,RU,Duke,OSU,Texas,Md etc) and lately St Johns and SU's WBB are on a positive trend!I'd bet CVS will have to have a big year or take a salary cut or retire as her contract expires this season!
He is referring to wins against teams that ended the season ranked.Who the duck is this guy and why is he here? Go home!
Ah, I see "Billy Bud's Metric" now.He is referring to wins against teams that ended the season ranked.
Almost all of UConn's good wins have come out of the Big East though - did a quick spot check for UConn against billybud's metric and UConn's best wins were against 2010 WVU, 2011 Rutgers, and 2012 Louisville, none against the P5 conferences.
billybud, unfortunately FSU's scoring record was surpassed during the Rich Rod years :|
I feel more confident in PP now than ever before simply because we have a real OC in TJ. Hank Hughes is a great coach and DC and has earned our respect.
Basically, PP needs to recruit, keep things in order and stop botching timeouts. The staff has the other stuff under control. (As long as GDL can really coach an OL, I think he can do that job)
The goal posts moved. Now it is OOC vs. ranked P5 schools.
The thing is, not many ranked P5 teams want to schedule non-sure thing OOC games. If you want to be a glass is half full type of person, you can point out that UConn is not scheduled often by ranked P5 teams because there is more than a passing doubt that the P5 team will win.
A couple of things hurt UConn, first and foremost seems to be the fact that UConn has only been FBS/D1 football since 2004, although the football program goes back to 1896...
True, does any think that Appalachian State will ever be allowed to step foot in Michigan Stadium again?
One of the things I like about these forums is to observe posters. It's hard to get a good gauge of our personalities with just the written word but there is enough evidence to get a first impression.Who the duck is this guy and why is he here? Go home!

Right on all of them, I can handle all of them, even Frank (he's got a decent blog even if he poo poo's UConn at every chance). Now Woomba is more mysterious, not sure what his intent is on this board. I'm not sure he ever mentioned what team he roots for. He is very knowledgeable, but he comes off very trollish.One of the things I like about these forums is to observe posters.

woomba is a big ten guy, like frank, that comes to this forum reminding us of "his" conference's superiority and how UConn is unworthy of joining the club.
frank uses a different style, but in the end the two of them are very similar in that they get pleasure at elevating themselves by putting others down. They are just plain arrogant.
billybudd is more about defending the position of FSU in choosing Ville over UConn. He's not necessarily coming from a place of superiority but naturally, like many of us, loves shining the positive light on the university he roots for with an occasional demeaning statement.
Southroncross and bstimpy strongly feel UConn would be an asset to the ACC and should have been selected from the get go. Southron is here just to have discourse and wants to know more about the northeast and UConn in particular. bstimpy is very confident in his position and actually quite balanced in how he thinks. Reminds me somewhat of businesslawyer. He intrigues me in that he has the attitude to want challenge (UConn, Cuse as bb partners) even if the challenge could adversely impact his alma maters standing.
NickyNewark strongly wants UConn as a partner in the B!G. He's defensive for Rutgers but that is understandable.
B!GALUM, GohperHawk and Gfunk are B!G guys who would love UConn in the B!G, are proud of their conference but have stayed for the most part away from engagement about whose better or worse.
Hope this scorecard helps you and others.
I prefer knowledge over ignorance. I'm impressed with those who have balance in their approach to life. Frank is every bit as trollish as woomba if by trollish you mean they enjoy putting someone down. He just carries it out in a manner that is harder to pinpoint.Right on all of them, I can handle all of them, even Frank (he's got a decent blog even if he poo poo's UConn at every chance).

woomba is more circumspect. The moment people try to pinpoint him, he'll say something complementary to throw the unsuspecting off. It's a great tactic.

Next year - although they are no longer FCS.
woomba enjoys CR as he stated. That's obvious. And he is more likely to have discourse than frank when engaged. And perhaps he is flexible about his attitude and not entrenched. But there have been posts he's made which are not much different than franks, imo, in the way he views the world outside the B!G. Perhaps he's a debater, like yourself, and his approach, like yours, is to engage to determine if the poster merits respect. He certainly respects you. And that means it isn't an attitude that I'm sensing but a misinterpretation of his style. If that's the case I'll reexamine my position. I'm not invested in being right.woomba is mostly fine. I don't see the problem. Weirdly, Frank is more trollish than all of the other posters mentioned. When he's cornered with statistics, he resorts to, "Then why hasn't UConn landed a spot?" argument. His last recourse. Other fans at least acknowledge the kind of revenue UConn brings in and its TV presence in 2 top 30 markets. They also acknowledged that UConn has managed to put more than its share of players in the NFL, twice having 5 players drafted in a 4 year span.
They are politicians for the B1G masses. Revolution!
