Poll: Can we eliminate the use of players initials?

[Deepster]

Is there anyone else out there that goes berserk when you see a post that says "I think KO needs to start AB, AG and RP but not KF or CV. Maybe first off the bench could be JA or CV or KF."

Just type out the name. Please. It's unreadable.

Sorry Christian, but I'll never not read CV as Charlie Villanueva.

Before we try to get posters to type out full names, lets take baby steps and try to get 99 to use capital letters.

Full comprehensible sentences would be a plus also.

i'm down for it, but only if the initials are like a catchy lil nickname.

for instance, AB = good, but SE = not so good

I don't have a problem when it refers to the current players, but there are times where I'm thinking who the freak is this in reference to.

Please enlighten me on whom is.

@ is a poster so vile, so profane, so....offensive....that his name is an equivalent replacement for an effbomb. Immortalized forever.

You know that could refer to about half the posters on here, correct?

Is this really what you guys spend your time concerning yourselves with?

Phone vs computer vs tab!et

Thumb vs hands vs thumbs

Or if you like

Keyboard, keyboard, keyboard

Set up a short cut in your iPad (or whatever you use). SpaceRPspace resolves to Rodney Purvis, and so on.

I have no issue with the shorthand, we all know who the initials stand for, and for the most part they roll off the tongue, maybe with the exception of SE. It's funny because literally this past weekend I was explaining to my wife how this has started to happen, and it works well for some people's initials but not for others. I have a W initial, so my initials will never roll off the tongue, but I think for AB, JA, AG, RP, KF, VJ, CV... its all good and I genuinely like the use of initials. But for some reason, the initials SN would never stick for Shabazz, and luckily he had a name that we loved to drop as Bazz

To answer your question - no!

The bolded part is super annoying to me. Drives me insane.

There was definitely a few days near the start of season where I was lost for a second, but those initials have burned into my head at this point. I like using them when I text with friends during a game because I don't want to waste any additional time looking at my phone

example: RP is brutal right now...

Anyone that does this is as a true UConn bball fanatic, especially if done for all the players and not removed during the off season.

Respect!

Actually, that exclamation point came from the end of my second acronym that was deleted entirely. It appears even the initials to Shutting The Frig Up doesn't make it past the filter.
