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

[Chin Diesel]

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.

It's not insanity. It is the most rational thought here.

The notion that you shouldn't fire a bad performer because that will scare off good performers is insanity. And your claim that we can't find or attract anyone better so we should stay with a bad performing coach is equally nuts.

I get that you are sick of people complaining about Ollie but, seriously, your doom and gloom cynicism is disturbing and getting old, fast. You are worse than the people you complain about.

And, for the record, I don't think the AD should be fired. In my mind, it is way too early to either praise or criticise him. He isn't 6 years in.

I have stated countless times I have no problem if Ollie goes after the season, and that the fact that his replacement may be worse should have no bearing on that.

The post you are referencing is discussing the the athletic director, who is by no means a "bad performer" . . .

Woe is me. The darkest days are upon us.

Lord give me faith.

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

I get that and don't disagree but you have indeed used the same logic to justify not firing Ollie.

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

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

If this actually happened, I would spend the rest of my life laughing at Enoch.

I may have in the past. My stance evolved over time. I don't think people who wanted Ollie gone dating back to 2015 get special points for being "ahead of the curve." Many of us have different thresholds for what we view as over-the-line unacceptable. I needed a larger body of evidence than most to get to the point of thinking a change needs to be made.

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

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.

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.

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.

Lonzo Ball? Shawn Marion?
