Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4966216, member: 181"] This is NOT directed at you personally. I have no idea what you've posted in this thread. Yesterday afternoon, I dipped into this thread when the post count was at ~200. When I show up that late, I usually jump to the final page and then back up a couple. Picture this: I was in the locker room at the Downtown Family Y in Louisville, KY, and I was wearing not only a UCONN HUSKIES sweatshirt, but also a UCONN hat. The lettering is ALL CAPS for both. That's why I didn't write UConn. I almost never wear two UConn items at once, but I'd done so all day Monday while watching the eclipse in Salem, IN (home state of Purdue).I wore the same on Tuesday among dozen of men at a meeting I attend weekly where it's common to see UK and UL, and where I’ve made a warm & friendly connection with a Marquette guy who a couple weeks ago took his grandson to his first game. It was in Indianapolis, the 2nd round victory over Colorado that put the Golden Eagles into the Sweet 16 - a kid's lifetime memory. I wouldn't want any of the people I encountered on those three days to be forming their impressions about UConn fans or Connecticut people based on quite a number of comments appearing in this thread. And for those folks who don't see the unintentional irony, arrogance, ignorance, rudeness and such that's on display here, I'll beat ya to it and make the smug balloon knot joke, so you don't have to - "Ah, don't worry about anybody looking over your shoulder to see what you're reading. Thems peoples are too stupid to read, amirite." I'll add only that I really do hope that Scott Drew got to shake the Baylor money tree twice by refusing both Louisville and Kentucky, but that's a fair use of fan partisanship. I'm happy to be most recently reading that our justly celebrated & celebrating coaching staff is re-upping, and likely working it hard in real time. Please let there be no troubling updates. This is my team, and you are my fanbase teammates, and I'm just putting in another pitch for accentuating the positive, and crushing opponents primarily on the court. [/QUOTE]
