Things we need to discuss in the offseason

[nelsonmuntz]

1) What does UConn need to do to catch Providence? Maybe the Providence posters on this board can provide some ideas.

2) What is a realistic annual win total for Syracuse going forward? 10?

3) Is it possible for Calipari to continue to suck on the same stratospheric level of terribleness he has maintained for the past 10 years?

4) How long will BCU be able to maintain their dominance of New England college athletics?

5) How many MAAC transfers will it take to return St. Johns to glory?

6) How long will it take Duke to have 3 coaches win national championship? 50 years? 100?

Please feel free to add to the list.

Does our Athletic Department have a plan to capitalize on this great achievement?

7) Why is life so good?

 

[temery]

Why do people keep insisting on posting speculation about players leaving.

I don't care how creative it is worded. Until the players says otherwise, he's a husky.

 

[Palatine]

1. Smoking Cuban cigars

2. The number five.

3. How life is imperfect but their are pleasures to be found.

4. How improbable and amazing 2022-23 were.

Marketing blitz all the way. Have signs inside Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun saying 5x champs. Put them up in NYC, too

 

[temery]

I'll be starting an NIL fundraiser later today for Bleeding Blue for Good.

Let's do our best to take care of our players.

Seriously? I am down if you're serious

Very serious. It was supposed to be set up just before the tournament started, but I forgot.

 

[noeynox]

I for one am proud to be on this list with Syracuse

How to get Bill Murray to speak at commencement in May and officially give him a Doctorate (and get him on the UConn BB Wall of Fame).

How can we maximize NIL for our players? While Hurley says we won despite NIL, we need to do out part for our athletes in the future so the program isn't at a disadvantage.

Post Championship NIL Fundraiser

Let's do our best to take care of our players, and help a good cause. I was supposed to set this up the week before the tournament, but I forgot. Ben Renshaw (@Huuuusky) sent me the info on how to donate so they can keep track of how we (the boneyard) are doing. Not needed, but it'll help if...

And the #1 question for the off-season…..

Where is the best place in CT to get pizza

Probably raise ticket prices

So much conference realignment during the last 25 years that wins by a conference are different than wins by teams now in a conference, but look at how different the last 24 basketball championships are different than football based on current conferences only:

ACC: 9
Big East: 7
SEC: 3
Big XII: 3
Big Ten: 2
Pac Ten: 0
Everyone else: 0

So the Power 2 in football, in hoops, even giving them credit for UCLA/USC/Oklahoma/UT, have won 5 of the last 24 championships. Proving that, to date, massive gobs of money generated by football is being used primarily for football, and is not buying a dominance in hoops. Will that change? If I knew that for sure I’d buy a supercomputer and move to Vegas instead of posting while I ingest morning caffeine on my way to work for a living.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

1). When does the auction start for the Gampel floor?

2). How do I keep my wife from finding out how much I spent when I buy a pile of it.

 

[B1GEast]

How does our football team capitalize from the basketball teams success?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Is this UConn fans celebrating a National Championship at Gampel, or Pitt fans celebrating a 5-point January win over Wake Forest?

Just one small tweak:
AAC - 1. 2014. I get it, I think of us as in the BE then also still…

I’d hope so. First thing on the list is to get working WIFI in both Gampel and XL

 

[rip7774]

“Sampson” Johnson playing like the 2/3 (I feel like I read that somewhere last year.

One I guess a lot of us (me included) we don’t have any guards that can blow by people!!! Glad to put that one to bed! Tristen was awesome last night!

When u think about it Hurley has this program firing on all cylinders, depth for days and a plan for recruiting and the portal. He can be choosy and has been increasingly so, if guys don’t love the game or want to work he can find better fits.

Good point. It is part of the Program so we do need to excel at it. This university has an enormously successful alumni base. University needs to tap into some of that expertise as well as other business entities and individuals in this state and beyond. It seems like this is the beginning of a new era. DH made a wonderful turnaround in mid-season and the unselfishness demonstrated by everyone connected has just been flat out wonderful. So proud of this team from top to bottom and future looks so bright keeping this in mind. I so much enjoyed all the commentators suddenly starting to get what this team is about. You have to see them and experience them to appreciate them!

I want to be at gampel when the team arrives…is that going to be possible ? I would imagine it’s going to be packed…
