“It’s all over” - A compilation of a few really dumb posts

[Fishy]

In 2015, posts started to show up expressing concern for the recruiting efforts of the head coach.

Those posts were not ‘ahead of the curve.’

They were simply accurate.

Some people saw the slippery slope before we slid down it and some people didn’t see the slippery slope when they looked back up at it.

Whether you were slow off the mark or not doesn’t really matter. It wasn’t like you were going to change anything anyway.

Holy mother of god, PLEASE tell me you don't work in HR for some company? You say this same insanity over and over again.

He's barely old enough to work, never mind be in a position to hire others.

People in the interview rooms with him have told me that upon meeting JC and Geno, they knew they were dealing with two very special people.

"I knew it. I knew the moment I saw him. I said this guy is something special" said every person interviewing Bob Diaco.

You remember the hits but forget the strikeouts. That's just how it is.

Canaries in the coal mine. Some find it worthwhile to pay attention to it; others find it to be mindless background chirping noises.

I just have not seen Uconn play like this in my lifetime. I’ve been a big Ollie supporter but when something becomes unreasonable- reality has to kick in.

I’d say very drastic actions potentially may have to be taken if this continues.

I know this might not be popular if Ollie is possibly let go and JC doesn’t fill in as a bridge coach— giving Rick Pitino a second chance at a big university discount would be my choice

He may go to jail....

 

[Stainmaster]

Fair enough. Hope you have a good rest of the holiday season.

You as well.

Well it is Big Red Day. WSU struggled with FGCU (but they are one of the better Mid Majors/they usually pass the eye test when I watch them). It seems almost everyone was penciling in the Shockers for the FF pre-season. Personally I was not one of the sunshine pumpers for WSU. If they do not open in Dallas for the first 2 games I do not think they get to the second weekend (S16). If they do it should be knock out city before the Regional Final.

I am sure Big Red does not read this message board as a super fan like he is....he would just get to frustrated with all the Rocky vs Clubber type fights here. With the Red promotion being one of the hottest tickets EVER at the Civic Center...expect the VERY unexpected. A near capacity crowd!

If we come out flat in this game and without FIRE steaming out of our collective As*** then even Big Red might google the internet for a UConn message board and find this place to VENT!

I hope for a very competitive game.

@temery You can mod without reading, teach me about those powers.

I would much rather not root for any college basketball team then root for a team that Rick Pitino coached.

You aren't anywhere near the room when hiring is discussed. Youth and hiring decisions are like water and vinegar. Has nothing to do with logical fallacies. Has everything to do with perspective. Which, once again, in this thread, you show you don't have.

 

[upstater]

Calhoun and Pitino are not great chums.

Scrappy's account has been hacked!

I'm pretty sure I've had more intimate conversations with the people who were in the room when the best coaches in UConn history were hired than 90-95% of the people here. Try again.

Even when he hits, Anderson has the ugliest shot mechanics I have ever seen.

Lonzo Ball? Shawn Marion?

 

[Robertelamin]

Yeah scrappy you might want to cross Pitino off of your Christmas list. He is simply not employable as a division 1 basketball coach with an active FBI investigation and I don't think the NCAA has even started their investigation yet.

In the room? No. Second hand conversations 25 years later? Okay.

Not me. I was out like light. Last thing I remember was glancing at the clock just a second after the shot.

Me too. I don’t understand it but I’m told you are conscious but don’t remember it.

 

[AdamaNation]

And the amount of travels a game is infuriating. If you’re running an NBA style iso offense you can’t travel half the time you initiate your move!

Makes you long for old Rodney pride to step out of bounds.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I don't think people who wanted Ollie gone dating back to 2015 get special points for being "ahead of the curve."

Yes we do.

 

[CL82]

Probably for the best.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Holy Spartacus.

If KO has lost scrappy, you know the jig is up.

 

[Stainmaster]

Yes we do.

Sorry bud. A coaching change would have absolutely unfeasible at that point.

Not going to stroke your ego.

We just need a cosign from willie and then we can reboot

I think mau is here

 

[huskyniner]

Well I am saying your wrong Mr. Wiserramher!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just learned that Big Red went to my high school!

 

[Huskyforlife]

Give me Pitino if Ollie is let go.

 

[Walker11]

Give me Pitino if Ollie is let go.

Even if you have no morals, why tell everyone else when this hypothetical had no chance in hell?

Canaries aren't enough to get somebody fired preemptively though. Unfortunately, the situation had to play out. Now it's a matter of how much longer that has to be the case.

 

[Adios]

We need Billy Donovan to be fired by the OKC Thunder. He'd get us right back on track.

I remember those Perno dud teams. I remember when Calhoun came to the Civic Center with Reggie Lewis and stomped UConn. You have to go back 35+ years to find UConn teams who laid on a mattress and took it like this team does regularly.

Yeah I was a student at Northeastern at that time and was at the Hartford Mutual Classic where NU kicked UCONN to the curb if I remember correctly.

Horrible, dark days then and now - oy, back to my bourbon.
