Creighton forum talking UConn

[Inyatkin]

i really, really enjoy reading the other BE teams' message boards when uconn is playing like this. there has been some extensive uconn talk on the providence board as well, although there is a lot more "why did we ever let this team back in the big east? type stuff over there:

Am I the only one completely lost by this one?

"ucon game at the AMP in a couple of weeks is gonna be Nutmeg State ground zero--with 10K season tickets this year, there shouldn't be very many tickets available to them, but we'll see.

They are conditioning their fanny packs with leather oil right now as we speak............."

should edit to make it clear obvious you're quoting PC.

they're calling our fanbase old.

Maybe they're expecting the women's team's fans to show up.

People hate our fans because we have quite a few fans that act like moronic trolls on other boards. Our average fan is actually very pleasant.

People hate our fans because we have 4 national championships and actual accomplishments to brag about when 99% of teams don't

on a side note, can a boneyard mod pin a thread listing the other BE message boards? i have noticed that both providence and creighton do this, and it's really convenient for gloating.

I was going to suggest that Tom create a Big East message board. I think it would be a gold-mine, at least for a little while, and then it would probably degenerate quickly with bans coming left and right.

This average fan must not post on the Boneyard then

hahaha, as a long-time lurker of their board, they have some bizarre takes about uconn and connecticut in general. they often refer to us as "storrs agricultural college" and insinuate that are fans are either (1) hicks or (2) ultra-rich. not sure which stereotype this guy is referring too, though.

He's talking about those fans that go to games. Minimal overlap.

 

[HitDog]

this isn't true, actually. the pc board has uconn on their post (listed as "connecticut") and @WingU-Conn pointed out that creighton has us as well.

Our fanbase has some negative perceptions out there. I wonder why.

oh interesting, i have never actually been on that board. i guess it's like their version of the uconn "rivals" board.

this one is a bit more active:

UT forum is an interesting read this morning. They all think Beard is gone for sure.

If he’s not that’s a problem

I could be ok with either of those stereotypes but leather oil and fanny packs is just confusing me

Im a long time reddit mod (6 years) for /r/collegebasketball. We are really a crappy fanbase. (from a frontrunner POV) I can explain why for hours if anyone wants to hear it.

You know I’d be interested to hear

Ill start. But to begin, are your a Pats fan?

Definitely not. Don't really follow football

I’ll submit without solicitation that I am not a Pats fan and am indeed interested about how we suck so badly

Wonder how many of our crummier fans went to UConn

 

[SubbaBub]

You aren't going to fool me into caring about Creighton. Though they have a better shot than me caring about PC.

I read /r/collegebasketball quite often, and there are definitely some pretty insufferable UConn fans on there right now. They are making the rest of us look (a) bad, and (b) like we've never been here before.

"UCONN is scary good. Not only do they have the right to say they're the best in the Big East, they have a legit argument as being the best team in the country- as much as I hate to admit it."

"As much as I can't stand Hurley or they're fan base, they're super fun to watch. From watching them a few times and Texas a few times, UCONN is better. They play SUPER hard, they're really connected defensively, and they finally can shoot from 3. They play the style of ball on both ends that I'm envious of."

Very positive and astute statement.
Our fanbase has some negative perceptions out there. I wonder why. And then I remember what this place is like after a loss and ......

It's called begrudging respect.

We'll take it though.

Are you going to leave us hanging again like the Scotland story?

I had wondered who that UConn mod on that forum was.

Wouldn’t mind seeing a clip of that Kalkbrenner interview on the big board Jan 7

Only way Kalk is slowing down Adama & DC is if he kisses them on the lips or makes them drink after him a week before the game. (Mono for those unaware)
