Message: [QUOTE="Guapo, post: 2446698, member: 8179"] To be fair to [USER=676]@whaler11[/USER] I don't think it's a gimmick. I think he truly believes what he says and clearly nothing I say is going to change his mind so sometimes you just have to tip your hat and say "you do you." I think what [USER=676]@whaler11[/USER] suffers from is Whalers nostalgia syndrome and honestly I think everyone from greater Hartford of a certain age has it, including myself. The sight of 10's of thousands of people in the Civic Center gives him tingly feelings about seeing Kevin Dineen out there and gives him a data point to show people that Hartford could support a pro team. I get it. Furthermore, I don't hate the idea of some games being played in Hartford. I think all games during break should be played there and I am happy that the Witchita State game is there. I'm sure it will be a great environment. I am not going to discredit or begrudge anyone's UConn fandom (lord knows we need all the help we can get) so [USER=676]@whaler11[/USER] I'm sorry if I've come across that way. I think my thoughts on the Hartford vs. Storrs debate have been pretty clearly stated across many many threads here so going forward I will be abstaining from any future in-season Storrs/Hartford debate (unless someone says something truly egregious). Not every game is a referendum on the issue. Frankly, we have much bigger issues facing this program and to me this debate is simply making excuses for our abysmal performance as of late. There is no excuse for needing OT to be Columbia. So, go Huskies and beat Monmouth (preferably not in OT). [/QUOTE]
