Uconn has never been a 'one and done' program. Despite that, we have as many titles in the last 25 years as Duke and Kansas combined. I am damn proud of that. I love that Coach Hurley (and previously Coach Calhoun) had a different mind set. Does that mean that I don't want five star players? Of course not. I just don't live my life feeling inferior to Duke, Kansas or NC. These programs stock pile McDonald's All American players year after year, and constantly under perform. And for the record, I want to see Duke win one without Coach K. These folks will soon realize losing an icon is not easy.

We're a school that's getting interest from the best recruits in the country. I think we are proud of it.

The full quote people are questioning was:

"And for the record, I want to see Duke win one without Coach K. These folks will soon realize losing an icon is not easy."

I don't think iluvsuebird meant he actually wants to see Duke win one without Coach K.
But that they are going to find out now how hard it will be to do so. But that's just my take.

What an odd post
Yeah I thought so, too.

I just don't live my life feeling inferior to Duke, Kansas or NC.

I haven't thought of UConn being inferior to those schools even before #5 this past April and I certainly don't now after #5. I guess I am spoiled and arrogant (shrug).

It's almost as if adding two words "try" and "to" would have removed any confusion.

People acting like the "please, please, please, include us as a blue blood now" whining phase never happened. @Iluvsuebird don't let em get to you.
