Awesome Jay Bilas Quote with Video!

[UconnAlum04]

"The question isn't whether UConn belongs with the Elites. But over the past 20 years, whether the Elites belong with UConn. Storrs Connecticut is now the unquestioned capital city of college basketball."

Just posted the exact same thing. That was awesome.

I recorded a clip of it from my phone. Working on posting to youtube, then I'll post link here.

Somebody please point to the nearest wall. I have some running to do.

 

[Scot-e]

That rocked!!!

Holy moly that was beautiful to listen to. Possibly the first time someone outside of the Boneyard has told it like it really is with regards to our dominance the past 15+ years.

So nice to hear.

That video should play anytime a non-registered boneyarder visits this forum.

It would stop potential trolls in their tracks… They would feel like such jack-asses that they would just leave quietly...

 

[Fairfield_1st]

That clip should be played before every game. Awesome stuff, too bad Bilas will lose his job for it. That does not conform to ESPiN standards.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

And some people were quick to slander bilas for not picking us this tournament when in 99,04 and 11 he picked us to win. There is no other espn analyst that would ever utter the words bilas said today.

Capital City. Little old Storrs!

Love it!

Absolutly amazing how the talking heads are talking from their (dismembered) heads.

 

[Palatine]

It's what we do!!!!

 

[UConnDad]

That's awesome! He sounds like us now.

 

[B1GEast]

you would never hear th8s comihg from dickie v, bilas is all class, even for a dookie. awesome coverage

 

[UConn5]

Bilas has always been supportive of UConn. I get annoyed when people attack him if he happens not to pick UConn on a particular occasion. I mean he picked us in 2011 for god sakes.

 

[Dooley]

Bilas is always fair and partial. He gives UCONN some slack when we deserve it and praise when we deserve that too. He's right. UCONN is in its own college basketball class in the past 20 years. And you know what? It's only going to get better.

 

[Kembacity]

Well I don't know about all of you but I'm hard

 

[wvhuskyfan]

Sportscenter had a cute clip yesterday that was a montage of 6 analysts (including Dickie V and Bilas)picking Kentucky to win the game, then at the end showed the Courant with the "BELIEVE IT!" headline, and the Sportscenter guy said "Whoops! Missed that one!".

Finally some RESPECT!

 

[FeedTheDove]

God I f*ing love being a UConn fan.

Colin Cowherd is another one of our cheerleaders.

That is true forgot about him

 

[Doggie Style]

That was awesome! Anyone have the actual link to that espn segment? I'd like to blast that out to some ACC friends of mine!!!
