Big East's Next Media Deal

[August_West]

shall I go on?

 

[August_West]

Yeah, but the fact that you frequently come on the conference realignment board to talk about why our obsession with it is pointless seems like a troll to me. For what it's worth, I have very little objection to people trolling because that's like 90% of the Internet. I have some objection to people trolling in aptly, but that's not you.

Frequently? I didnt touch this board even 10 times between 2012 and now. You realize anything I did touch was predominantly started on the mens hoop board and MOVED here?

If anyone expected anyone to attend football games in CT we shouldve built a 65000 seat house somewhere.

Yeah maybe in 1985. Most new college stadiums built now trend smaller.

Yes. Let’s talk about what you consider to be mid range! LOL.

What a joke.

Shrugs, I don't care enough to actually go back and pull them out or count them, but I've seen you posting down here plenty of times. I have no idea where any of your posts "started" or even what that means. In all honesty, I don't care that much. I don't find you particularly offensive August. In even when I feel like your caring bits a little bit long, they are typically funny, or were originally.

I dont consider the delusion of a portion of our fan base funny at all.

Yes frequently. You’ve told us about the game you play and your long term burner account(s) on Syracusefan.com.

See, now that doesn't seem like trolling at all...

We cant draw 1/3 of Rutgirls. Let that sink in.

If we keep trending up that will change. And you can already see that. UConn football has been less fun than a funeral up until last season going back to Year 1 of Pasqualoni.

1-8 team in a State that is the only state in Northeast that actually has a semi- fertile recruiting ground. Who gets BIG dollars for last decade and goes 1-8 in the best conference in land and draws 50k. and you want to sell me on UConn Football success chances based on conference affiliation?

 

[August_West]

Yes frequently. You’ve told us about the game you play and your long term burner account(s) on Syracusefan.com.

It was gorgeous and beautiful. And now Im banned. I knew mods here read our private messages, and I stupidly PM'd my handle at Syracusefan to ONE person on the boneyard during the tournament when I was feeling giddy after a win, and within 4 hours I was banned there after 10 years of an active account.

Well we did better than they did or at least just as good when we were in the same conference.

Facts.

To steal a page out of your playbook: "No one cares" certainly not the B1G or the Big12 or the ACC ( who will take SMU for free over us for free.)

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

I don’t know the answer to your question. If the worst case is that we run the program smarter and have to remain Indy for the long term then I I am fine with that.

I laugh at these people who actually believe we were near the top of the Big 12’s list. I’m a realist.

I also laugh at you who wants to attack something that plenty of people still enjoy.

We sacrificed what little credibility the football program had left so that you clowns could feel good playing Immaculate Little Sister of the We Are Responsible For the Agony of Christ U. So go troll somewhere else.

I get what you're saying from a pigskin prospective. But in my perspective it was the smartest thing we ever did in this mess. Our recruiting instantly leveled up and we won a natty. Did Hurley have us getting better in AAC? Yes he did. Would we have reached the same heights as quickly? We will never know, but I don't think so. Basketball got a bump from BigEast, and UConn gave BigEast a bump.

 

[CL82]

Sometimes. Often, in fact when they're used to support a comparison to some thing called "rutgirls", but you know that August.

Oh I forgot. You are closet Rutgirls and Hall fan Jersey guy. I see your gratuitous pandering on the Hall board, it's cloying.

I think it was smart too. Depressing but the right play.

But if you don’t think we would be better off in the Big 12 or ACC then you are stupid.

And no the fact that they don’t want us doesn’t invalidate anything.

So tell us. How pitiful will the next deal be? And will UConn make more than a Champions League Benchwarmer.

Imagine if they fired Ollie, replaced him with Dom Perno, gave him a shoe string budget for assistants, and let him stay there after it was obvious to anyone with eyes he was going through the motions, putting in miminum effort. What do you think BB would draw with that? You were seeing attendance decline under Ollie. The perception the school abandoned FB had less to do with going independent and more to do with hiring a guy going through the motions with laughable incentive clauses.

When they funded this program well relative to their peers they had success on the field and decent attendance.

Lol it's so funny to watch trolls reveal themselves. Usually, all it takes is politely responding to them. They will grow frustrated and continue to escalate rhetoric in the hopes they'll get an emotional response.

Disappointingly predictable August. To be perfectly honest, I expected more.
