I am not evolving my position. I didn't bring up Iowa (
@upstater did). I didn't say we couldn't sell out the stadium (nobody did). I didn't bring up BC and them blocking us (you did).
I'm responding to people accusing me of saying things I didn't say.
A couple posters
@ConnHuskBask and
@Sea Goat who actually read my explanation now understand that we're on the same page.
Some are responding to arguments I didn't make, or creating strawman so they can shout me down. Somehow that's my fault.
Then there's you who believes it's his responsibility to educate me. Every time I say UConn deserves to be in a P5 because we're worthy, you ignore it and alter my opinions to fit your narrative.
Want to talk about BY etiquette?
How about
@Marty Jackson jumping into a conversation to ridicule while bragging about not bothering to read from the beginning so he could understand the context? He literally "educated" me on things I had just said in a prior post. Is that proper BY etiquette?
How about
@mavblues and
@IMind not using the quote function while posting in absolute disgust claiming someone made comments that were literally never made? Is that proper BY etiquette?
I'm still waiting for someone to quote the post where I said we couldn't sell out the stadium.
If you got off your high horse you might realize that I'm a huge fan, but that I don't mind discussing and addressing shortcomings that we have to overcome. I also don't mind helping overcome them when I can. I've donated to help posters on this board go to football games. I've also organized tailgates to get fans to go to their first UConn football game, and am always trying to bring them back. There are people who have done much more, kudos to them.
I don't believe we should hide from areas in need of improvement. If people don't want to discuss them, they are free to move on to other threads.
The mob mentality here keeps a lot people from posting, and keeps us from having more productive conversations.
