4th Best Team in New England

[#1 PA Husky Fan]

Just watched Providence advance to the Big East, and it hit me that we are the 4th best team in New England. We have been fortunate to have been king of the mountain for a loooong time, but the fall has been fast and steep. I don’t want to hear about injuries, league, blah blah blah. Our brand is so tarnished right now. The only solution is change. Some say that we can’t afford a $10M buyout, but not making a change will cost us many times that amount.

I’d have to see us beat Vermont and UMass before I agree to any of that.

It's so sad how true this is

UHart and Fairfield would have at least taken us to OT.

Sad how many people apparently enjoy feeling sorry for themselves with these pathetic threads

Not pathetic, pissed. What’s pathetic is how some accept how irrelevant that we have become.

Name the people who accept the results of this season and the current state of the program.

And a thread can’t be “pissed”

You can do the work. Look at those that think KO can turn this thing around. Not a chance.

You made the claim, dummy. Defend it or be ridiculed

By the way, those who believe "turn this thing around" is warranted, are not accepting of anything. But go ahead and find those people anyway

6th -- Rhody, BC, Providence, Vermont, Harvard are ahead.

He's right. No reason to ridicule him. Many are accepting this irrelevancy and are hoping for it to continue.

Name them. Link the posts that indicate that the poster is accepting of the state of the program. If there are "many", it shouldn't be that hard.

We have our "Ollue" genius... who else?

Nelson on Fairfield would light us up for 35 - we wouldn’t match well with them.

 

[jibsey]

Not sure we could beat Central.

UHart and Fairfield would have at least taken us to OT.

Sim says Hawks collapse late and Anderson hits the game winning free throw. Note how the game ends in the play-by-play above the final score...

No one accepts it just some don’t need to be a broken record about it. I mean it’s stupid as hell to think people want more of this , maybe some of the most ridiculous comments on this thread.

Acceptance and endorsement aren't the same thing. Sometimes when people make this mistake, they get all upset that others aren't bothered like they are about something they don't like or think shouldn't be so. Others accept the reality of a situation and stay serene in the face of what they dislike and do their best to affect things as best they can.

BUT EVERYONE SHOULD BE AS SAD AS ME.

No UConn fans are hoping for irrelevancy to continue. Why would anyone who was a UConn fan want that? If by "many" you mean Syracuse and Providence fans then I'm sure many of them would love for us to continue to struggle.

Hans, I truly appreciate your posts. Not meaning to get all mushy on you.

There are people who still want Ollie back next year even though it's clear that he can't get it done. That is accepting being irrelevant. This isn't complicated.

The eye test is a better measuring stick.

Willie99, Kathy, Tuna, Madmansucks, Whtdmd to name a few.

Despite their desire to have KO back next season, I believe a change will be made and the road to recovery will begin next season.

What's not complicated is that you are one of the broken record people bass. Leave it be, let it happen.

But please remember you will be gone if they keep KO.
