dan hurley has extreme confidence in himself. a lot of the helium with him and this lakers move is just him envisioning the upside and aiming for it. it's irrational exuberance, but it's also what's gotten him this far.

I'm trying to tamp down my irrational exuberance by remembering I read that Ngongba started following Andrew Hurley just before he committed to Duke.

It's your job here to be a skeptic and root out the irrational exuberance that explodes from time to time.......but if Christ rises we may want him in two years after Reed leaves for the NBA.

I think we need to clarify the meaning of ironic. That’s totally of a piece with the rest of my usual irrational exuberance.

...weak, and she’s just a freshman, yada yada yada. Well, I’m going to say it again, and all you doubters can chalk it up to my irrational exuberance. Jana is going to be awesome. It may take half a season to get going. But once she does, look out D1 WBB! Not only is she the full package of...

I never count out this edition (always stay in the present) as they continually show the Heart(s) of a Champion! It was awesome to see Paige smiling throughout the game. If anyone has the footage of the start of the game jump ball, I would like to see it. Please post it on a new thread, as it...

They continue to win the games that they should win. Yes the blossoming of Last Second Arnold and Ashlynn continues, and Brady seems to be finding herself. But most of the reaction to defeating a team that they clearly outclassed seems to fall into the category of irrational exuberance.

LarryLegend- - -I always told my wrestlers they had to win vs the opponents they were definitely better than, then out gut the opponents they were even with and vs a superior opponent stay close, avoiding the big mistake and try to pull it out at the end!

People aren’t exuberant because the Huskies beat a woeful Providence team, although many of us do remember the last time they played UConn won 64-54 with Dorka playing 38 minutes and Aubrey had to play 36. We’re celebrating: The freshmen continue to play at a high level with no mental lapses or...

...to NC State might help us here if they have to face a more confident and efficient team this year early and on the road. My irrational exuberance says we win all three games. The BC, Tennessee and JMU stretch on the road is the most worrying part of the schedule. As always, let's just win the...

I'm guarding against irrational exuberance. This team is made up of a star who hasn't played in a year, freshman who have never played at all, players with potential that can't make it through a season healthy and Aaliyah Edwards. The two best players from last year are gone. I dunno.

Confucius say's - thank you Grasshopper :p

Almost all of the posts in this thread are irrationally exuberant distractions from the reality that games are prepped for, played, and won one-at-a-time, OR minor competitions for who has the most confident take on where the team is flawed, vulnerable, or beatable. Neither is helpful. The post...

Two things: 1. I need irrational exuberance to get through the long summer. 2. Watkins, like Belibi, gets hers on run-outs. That’s the easier path. By contrast, Griner, often dunked as a post move, and Ayanna has the muscle and the hops to do that too. She just needs someone (Nika, obviously)...

...Overreactions here will happen in 95% of threads, the other 5% are deleted. 2) You're not going to stop people from posting irrational exuberance, irrational doom and gloom, or anything in between. 3) Don't throw shade when you probably definitely don't know what you're talking about...

no.. 1. I don't have time to 2. I don't care enough about you to do so

Can't we agree that this thread is sacred and is only reserved for actual grid updates and reactions to this updates!

It might be genuine outrage, that is often a side effect of irrational exuberance.

Getting upset about our being in the top 5 or not at this point is dumb this early in the year. Did I miss something? Did we beat a top 10 team yet? We lose a game and it will be 3 weeks to work our way back to #8. Husky fans are irrationally exuberant at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I love...

Alabama is #8 so we kinda did beat a top 10 team

Yes we beat Alabama who is now top 10

I reject your logic and cling to my irrational exuberance whenever I see a new post in this thread.

...still #2. #1 as in the favorite to win it all? No, definitely not. It doesn't mean we don't have a chance to win a single-elimination tournament, but we're still the underdog. So either way, it's a definite no. #1 in our hearts? Sure. But exuberance is one thing, irrational exuberance another.

...We even faced -and overcame- a little adversity with the loss of Hawk and Dre early in the season. Nothing lasts forever especially in sports. Upsets and WTE lossses are part of life. There will be bumps in the road. However, WE'RE FANS! Our calling card is irrational exuberance. Go Huskies.

Sometimes, I can't contain my enthusiasm. Yes, I'm a pessimist at heart. But I get excited by the play of bigs and point guards.

Sometimes the Yard harps too much on what guys aren't good at and neglects what guys are good at. Joey California is currently in the barrel. I finally "get" ThoughtZ, though. It's what you read if you want to prevent irrational exuberance.

Given the current economy and the market, I am pining away for those days of irrational exuberance.

Hey be careful, you could be labeled " irrationally exuberant."

Nothing will get in the way of my irrational exuberance. I will, of course, pass on observations, questions and appraisal of performance. But I will be in attendance the following Saturday undiminished.

"Irrational exuberance" is virtually the definition of being sports fan. The word fan is a shortened form of the word fanatic. Caring whether a sports team wins or loses is not rational. The definition of exuberance is "the quality of being full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness...

IDK- guess they just hang around to tell the fans that they are irrational which I guess is their sport.

I did not realize you were such a rock

Irrational exuberance is fun this time of year. Tis the season...which is often so very short. So for those that partake, enjoy....bottom ups.

Could not agree more. We should all be applauded for hanging in there with maybe the worst program over the last 5 years. Saw a friend wearing an Alabama tee and though, "Alabama doesn't need another fan, but UConn sure needs us". So I'd prefer not to be overly objective or analytical about...

Irrational exuberance. Very nice reference there. I will add the seeming upgrade at QB alone has me somewhat excited. I have little doubt all 4 QB's were given legitimate chances to show their stuff and I belive the QB situation is as strong of a group as we have seen in several years. That...
