Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 3828729, member: 181"] It wasn't necessary. It was a choice. I wanted to offer an appreciation, a compliment, and an concluding opinion toward [USER=5787]@Hey Adrien![/USER], while also implying a recommendation for others. As a tool to meet my aim, I initially wrote in the first person about myself, and then in the third person to widen the scope to more include and benefit others. For context, this is the first season since 2014 that I have taken any appreciable interest in teams or conferences beyond UConn. It's also the first year since longer than that period that I've had so much available time to draw from so many home entertainment options. Pandemic, I'm looking at you. [USER=5787]@Hey Adrien![/USER] 's posts give me the teams, the times, and the channel in a handy accessible form. The brief additional information is nothing less than net positive. Here' s an exampIe: IIRC, this afternoon I read that Alabama is ranked in the Top 25 and rates highly in both Offense and Defense. That alone gives me a heads up that Nate Oats is doing well in his 'not totally new' job and is likely continue to show up as a good coach as he was he was at Buffalo. But, tbh, I've never even seen him. The only other things I know about Alabama are that a trio of players was mentioned today, and that didn't include Jordan Bruner who is a grad transfer I saw last year playing for Yale against Princeton. If I'm not doing anything else, I might watch. In simplest terms, I trust that hey adrien knows more than I do, and unless or until I actually watch enough more games and learn more about the larger landscape than the schedules, scores, stats, rosters, standings, and such that are available to me in the Yahoo Sports app, and supplemented by additional searches on an ad hoc basis, that's way more than good enough for me. And so, in addition to my considering these efforts an act of service simply because they have been assembled and shared wiith me , I'm pretty confident that many Yarders, whether casual or not, would agree. I'm going to guess that a Saturday will come when I watch several consecutive games. Hey, I've done it before. It probably won't he tomorrow, but it might me, and if so, I'll be ready. [/QUOTE]
