I'll go old man yelling at clouds here.
I realize it's social media and slang and incomplete sentences are the norm.
That being said, if you are going to jump on the soap box.....
"It's no room for this mentality any more. This is a new day in age."
That is cringe worthy abuse of the written English language. And it's doubly cringe worthy for a person who supposedly attended college.
Now, I have to go. There are some kids walking on my lawn.
I'll add this isn't unique to athletes. I see it plenty from supposed educated professionals in emails, presentations and proposals.
Chin are you saying even educated professionals walk on your lawn as well?
At least you walked yourself out haha.I'll go old man yelling at clouds here.

whelp...cant blame him for wanting to play for his favorite team, currently dominating the big10 and coached by one of the Fab 5Yeah, no beating around the bush on that question.
“Are you a UConn fan?”
“Nah, I’m a Michigan fan.”
UM*I agree, Fab 5 was before his time. Wonder what drew him to MU. He likes staying close to home...UConn is closer to home than MU ?
He's the only big we've offered or really shown interest in. There was some interest in Dereck Lively but I haven't seen anything on him recentlyWho are the other bigs we're interested in with his class? The staff is smart enough not to put all their eggs in one basket.

At least you didn't say "supposeably," but still...Chin are you saying even educated professionals walk on your lawn as well?
dozens of likes grantedI'll add this isn't unique to athletes. I see it plenty from supposed educated professionals in emails, presentations and proposals.
Gawd. I know I'm pretty old, but that puts into perspective just how young these kids are. Damn good point.Maybe he was too young to follow UConn the last time they were very good - 7 years ago for 2014 championship run. So the lack of recent winning may be why he wasn't a fan.
sounds about right for a Cuse communications degree recipientThat is cringe worthy abuse of the written English language. And it's doubly cringe worthy for a person who supposedly attended college.
if that's true (that dude's getting a comm degree)...LOFLsounds about right for a Cuse communications degree recipient
My daughter is 14 and says she wants to go to Michigan or Michigan State. She doesn’t give a reason for it. She’s never been to the Midwest.. I guess it’s the branding, the colors, the merch for her. Kids are funny.I agree, Fab 5 was before his time. Wonder what drew him to MU. He likes staying close to home...UConn is closer to home than MU ?
I went to grad school at Michigan and gave my friend a Michigan sweatshirt. He gave it to his daughter to wear when she was about 10 and she said for many years after that she wanted to go to college there. She ended up going there. So I guess merchandising and brand awareness do work sometimes.My daughter is 14 and says she wants to go to Michigan or Michigan State. She doesn’t give a reason for it.
