Backbencher - rather criticize those in the arena but don't have the moxie to get in it yourself.

Do you produce any content besides patting yourself on the back for shoddy predictions and belittling others whom you incorrectly judge as being less knowledgeable and involved as you do?

Not breaking many stories and making sure the few I do are rid of BS designed to make me look better than I am is far more preferable than either breaking bogus stories or sticking in a superfluous "confirmed" to stories whose truthfulness is such that we don't need any extra confirmation. It reeks of a desperate need to pad one's ego.

Clueless - my results speak for themselves. I called you on basically called Calhoun a has been. And he is likely getting back in coaching if he can work out the financials with UConn.

You put yourself out there, you shoot 25%, you double down every time you are wrong... yeah, you gonna get criticized.
 
Another thing I called correctly was Diallo after the course catalog disaster on his official visit.

Guys on the field last season were visibly too slow. It was either that they couldn't run fast or were so out of position it took forever for them to get there.

You are so full of it. I never said Calhoun was coming back to UConn but rather coaching. Stairmaster had him one foot in the old folks home. I absolutely nailed Disco being fired and you were totally clueless. True, my first replacement preference was Moorehead - that's a separate issue. As for Miller, Travis and Drummond coming in 2011 - I nailed all those and the same jokers who criticize and not offer anything of value themselves are frankly very small, jealous people.
Seriously, considering leaving this board - some good dudes - but too many losers.

He did nail Diaco's firing.

Actually @whaler11 had you beat by a few weeks. You waffled.

God bless the BY search function and a solid memory of revisionist history attempts.

You are a strange but fun poster... Chief is just not always right or forthcoming. The cast of characters here is what makes the BY what it is and keeps us all coming back.

Probably 2/3rds of what I heard was in PMs from 3-4 posters here.

It's not like you needed to be Bob Woodward to piece this thing together.

Okay then. Back to 40 times. Still really hoping Buss gets clearance and can play sooner than later. Last year he ran a legit and verified 4.34 - 40. Might even be faster now because he's lighter than a year ago.

Doe anyone know how many on the roster run sub 4.4's?

True Freshman Zavier Scott for one... Tyler Coyle may be close - ran 4.4 previously.

The humor of it all, the humor would be missed. Other than that .... Bye.

I can't speak to all the other predictions, but whaler called Diaco being canned about 2 weeks or so prior to anyone else.

After Todman we simply have had a huge falloff in talent at RB. Arkeel is talented, but he's not big enough to break initial contact for the most part and his top end speed is mediocre to my eye. Our run blocking has been for as well.

I fully expect Randy to address this, but it will take time.

FWIW....
  • Newsome's career long run, 90-yards (2015). He had a 67-yard run in 2016.
  • Todman's career long run, 66-yards (Oct 8, 2010/Rutgers). He had a 58-yard run in 2009.
  • Newsome's 4.49 40-time, ties him for the third fastest among the top 50 RBs in the 2018 Draft Class. The fastest time, 4.46. Two players ran 4.48 and another ran 4.49. Fourth-five others ran 4.50 or greater.
  • Long TD runs have more to do with downfield blocks by WRs, then a players "top end speed" or lack there of. An unblocked defender with decent speed can use pursuit angles and the sideline to run down a RB in the open field.

Truthfully, it has more to do with a fall off in coaching.

And I'm not saying Newsome is better then Todman, Brown, McCombs, Caulley, etc...

I am highly enjoying this thread. If nothing else, it has become entirely clear to me that Chief is not trolling after watching this meltdown. He's had some nice predictions, he has had some bad misses that he downplays or denys and he cares way to much about what other people think of him, but all in all, go Chief.

One question - do you really think the coaches ordered new stop watches? So silly. Say Randy mentioned the RB's being slower than a turtle - do you think the staff would purchase turtles to race against Arkeel?

Pretty much ignorant - I predicted Drummond was coming to UConn in Sept 2011. Also, that Diaco was going to be fired.
Those were pretty lonely positions at the time but some morons after the fact pretend it was consensus.
Not sure how my original post here had anything to do with my ego - I will defend myself when losers try to reinvent history.

CTMike - When are you going to break your first story?

The words Diaco is going to be fired were never typed by you. I believe the quote was "some people may get their wish on Jan 1st" which could have meant a new OC that some people wanted. Like medic said you give yourself wiggle room with vague comments.

I find it helpful sometimes to evaluate the key aspects of a thread gone wrong.

1) Making Serrano mad? Happens often. His friends even consider it a badge of honor.

2) Making Stairmaster mad? He's been known to take a stand from time to time.

3) Making me mad? I probably didn't have my Snickers bar yet.

4) Making CTMike mad? Get your head examined. I've seen Mother Teresa lose her $#it more than he has.

Gut check time, Chief...
 
In all seriousness, I always thought Chief's act was a shtick. The whole "insider information" thing and referring to himself in the third person. Does he really take himself that seriously?

Didn't those other guys mostly play against way better competition?
