Why do people with different opinions than mine voice them? Truly a mystery.

C'mon now Stair you know, or should know at this point, the difference between a discussion on the merits and an ad hominem attack. Feel free to discuss Cheif's posts on the merits.

The content of Chief’s own posts is what drives conversation away from UConn and towards himself. By worshipping at his feet and jumping on people who criticize his practice of making everything about himself, you’re not reversing that trend; you’re perpetuating it.

I like his content and have come to appreciate his writing style as an BY inside joke. If you don't, well, no one is forcing you to open the thread right?

To be fair, this whole views thing was started by Mano. It's frankly embarrassing that either of them care about how many views these threads get. High school level drama.

We know you don’t want people who disagree with you to voice their opinions. I don’t know how to make it more clear — that’s not how this works.
 
Stainmaster said:
Did you become a moderator in my absence? I wasn’t aware of any new restrictions on how we are allowed to discuss Chief here.

Oh wait, you just don’t want to see content that offends your delicate sensibilities...
Expand ...
Lol, so your point, such as it is, is that you can criticize Chief's posts but no one can criticize yours? Haha that is stunningly beta.

So here's a learning exercise for you. Go back and reread your posts and notice all you have is ad hominem attacks, against Chief and then against me. You really are incapable of a discussion on the merits, aren't you? Frankly it's disappointing. I'd have hoped for a fundamental ability to structure reasoned arguments at this point in your development.

Haha well at least you are trying to switch to a strawman argument. That's something, I guess.

Yuuuuuuuuuuup. He’s hugely about himself. Yugely. It’s tremendous, just incredible, absolutely tremendously incredible his talent for making it about himself.

I tried to make my displeasure about that known in a way that wouldn’t distract the Yard, but guess who couldn’t let it go?

You’d be blind to see it’s not catching on tho.

So basically your position is that you dislike Chief's writing style so you are going crap up his threads so others who want to read them can't? You don't see that as selfish and self-absorbed?

Who brought up Chief in this post?
@Mano

LOL - You and your Insane Frown Posse need to go back and waste another day giving the other thread more views and likes by hitting the thread button all day long from your parent’s basement. You should have tons of practice from hitting the Dislike button hundreds of times a day. At any rate, Chief’s Brief is at 4K too after hitting 10k against Miami without that artificial juicing. It’s sad that apparently your life offers so little real meaning, you waste your time on such meaningless tedious tasks.
Just to be clear though, Chief’s Briefs is not for the Casual First Night and highlight video fans, we love them and they are welcome but are not Chief’s target audience. We seek a more serious discussion of hoops.

Fixed.

- Attendance was only 5,909. Opponent, Gampel mid week game for season ticket holders and exams starting for students. From a business perspective, now that we are winning, we know the variables that drive home attendance. We need to do a MUCH BETTER job of scheduling using favorable teams, dates and locations. Unless a marque opponent, let’s not go up against the NFL. Same fan demographic. We are getting buried in too much debt not to be a lot smarter about this.
- Upgrade the WiFi and cellular capabilities at both locations. It’s an embarrassment and the students/millennials won’t go somewhere consistently where this stuff doesn’t work well. We need to get with the times.

I can't wait to see how bad the attendance will be for The Tulane game.

Wednesday
9PM tip
Students away
Tulane

The CBSSN games are always bad times...

Well there were probably a few - but to be fair no one played that game in Chief’s neighborhood. Basketball, football, some track and a little baseball were the sports. No disrespecting hockey - just wasn’t personally exposed to it.

The Whalers needed fans like Chief

If you want a definition of a temper tantrum, how about one obsessed dude spending weeks hitting the Dislike button 5,000 times on someone’s old posts after searching for posts up to 8 years old. Perhaps it’s more deep seated psycho anger than a flash temper, which makes it even more concerning.
If someone did that to you, I guarantee you would find it creepy.

Good night. Chief is going out to celebrate.

It seems that a pissing match between Chief and Mano/Madmannsucks/Stainmaster/tzzandrew only serves to make Chief the standard of the Boneyard. (Since it augments the replies and views of Chief's thread.)

Why don't we make the standard of the Boneyard keeping quiet unless you have something to say about basketball, or something humorous and entertaining?

Except I’m not the one telling others not to post. You can call me out all you want; I take great amusement in watching you show your hypocrisy to the rest of the board. I do think your constant service as Chief’s lapdog is pretty weird, but you have every right to do so.

No matter how much you protest, I will continue expressing my thoughts even if they cause you anguish. Grown men like yourself should be able to handle uncomfortable ideas.

Again you seem to think that is okay to criticize Chief, yet you whine about other posters criticizing you for do so. Kind of seems hypocritical, no?

By the way it's cute that you compulsively have to add a personal attack. It's your tell that this is an emotional issue for you.
Stainmaster said:
Why is it that every time anyone says anything less than praiseworthy of Chief, you show up and immediately come to his defense? Can’t adults like him fend for themselves?

In any event, when I go out and celebrate, it’s not over how many views my threads on a message board get.
Expand ...
Lol, 1) so let me help you with reading comprehension. Dislike him all you want but crapping up threads with that nonsense, is kind of selfish right. Feel free to disagree with the substance but just name calling, that's boring.
2) Cute that you had to get in another cheap shot at Chief. You literally are incapable of posting without an ad hominem attack. Sad.
 
Chief’s pure basketball and it was all that in this thread up to Mano’s first post on this thread - jealous post #47. But, Chief defends himself.

Playing with you - and you make it so easy.

Loved the way they played this game overall.

The runs we let Iona get on us Gave Danny more opportunities to tinker with plans to either prevent or stop them.
 
FYI. I was just having a lousy day. As I read through, I began laughing. There is no contest with myself in this thread. And I only used the dislike button once to see if it worked.

So true Mad. Both sides look like idiots. Not a good look for the fan base.
Spending the weekend in Glenwood. How have you been?
 
'not a good look for the fanbase?' here's a home movie of us -this is what we look, and sound like. lookin good, if ya ask me. come to think of it, we all kinda look the same.

To CL82's point:

Post #1- Chief summarizes his thoughts on the Iona game.
Posts #2-46- general discourse about the game, including Hurley's wholesale change in the lineup, attendance, etc. including my post #18, and Chief responding to mine #27.
Post #47- Mano starts derailing the discussion to make it about Chief...Uh-oh. The next SIXTY posts are almost entirely a back and forth snowball fight that has absolutely nothing to do with Huskies basketball and the original topic.
Post #107- JustBrewIt bravely tries to return to the appropriate discussion.

So to summarize, the first 46 posts are on topic; the next 60 are hijacked. This is not about anyone's right to post or not, but you really have no business taking the discussion off the tracks like you have. I don't want to have to sort through dozens of posts looking for ones with b-ball content.

There are a few of you that really have a problem with Chief. I'm asking you to use your judgment so that when you see a topic called "Chief's Briefs," keep on walkin' to the next topic. Your rights to bash him end where the rest of us who enjoy his insights begin.
