Cobb Suspended

[SirHypeAlot]

Doesn't Ollie live in Glastonbury? Why would he be trolling around WeHa late night? they're not exactly next door to eachother

Really? I can get from Glastonbury to "WeHa" in about 15 minutes. It's really not a stretch of the imagination that he would make that trip. I travel further to buy cannoli...

 

[Paesano]

Your pal was so PO'd in April of 2014 that he didn't show his face here for a year! I'm glad I will never be like you two, ever!

Which "pal" exactly are you referring to? I don't consider any of you dopes a "pal". There are a select few people on here that I associate with in a more "personal" nature outside this board and I seriously doubt you know who they are.

And, exactly what does this have to do with me and 2014 or with you and being detached and delusional? By the way, based on how much you post here, I am now even more convinced about government inefficiency. That my tax dollars pays your salary saddens me. That SUNY Buffalo is one of the better options for NY kids saddens me. What I wouldn't give to have a UConn in this state!!! Instead, I get places like SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Stony Brook employing people like you.

I imagine the nightlife is a little bit more happening in WeHa than Glastonbury

Be sure to leave the gun.

"The suspension stems from an exchange of words between Cobb and coach Kevin Ollie when Cobb was removed from the game against ECU Saturday, a source said.

The incident happened just before halftime and Cobb did not play in the second half."

UConn Suspends Eric Cobb From Basketball Team

Yep, there were also words the WSU game - so it was a pattern.
Dom is a little too dramatic for my tastes bringing various players into this story and reciting every little deviation from norm behavior this season. After-all they are 18-22 year olds. Cobb though deserved what he got.

I have seen espn personalities hanging around the Center. It's about the only option for decent food, drinks and ladies. Russilo and SVP used to joke about it a lot on the radio.

 

[Thirty Three]

In 'Weha' center* I'm partial to the Irish pub, McLadden's. The center is literally 3 miles from the home I grew up in. Grant's is OK. I'm not in town very often, though, so never ran into any "celebs."

*Didn't know until this thread that people called it 'weha'.

"Weha" was coined by anorexic, upper middle class, west hartford, range rover driving soccer moms who run late for yoga class because the vegan restaurant was so crowded.

I cringe everytime I hear WeHa. I don't even tell people I live in west hartford anymore. I just say Elmwood.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

You can't really have watched the last 2 seasons and not observed a huge change from 2012-2014. The first two years KO could inspire and motivate. None of that is present anymore. You can try to deny it all you want, but it's right in front of you.

The change was called Bazz as in Napier

That is a Connecticut world view. If you live in Glastonbury you can find whatever you need or if you can’t you can go to ZPortland. If Portland doesn’t have it you can damn well live without it.

I live in Glastonbury, there is plenty to do here, but people have different preferences. If KO prefers going out in West Hartford, thats his perogative.

There's not much happening in Portland, although the Winchester Cafe has some great live music. It's a hidden gem due to the biker bar exterior.

What are you, from the Stone Ages?

This board is beyond insane...

 

[upstater]

Let's see. Kevin Ollie was 52-18 in his first two years as head coach and won a National Championship. He is 24-24 over the past two seasons and likely won't even make the NIT for the second straight year. You don't think his performance/effectivness has fallen off substantially? You can't really believe that.

I didn't say any of that and don't know why you wrote that. Nor does it have anything to do with what Noenox and I were talking about.

Thanks for your money. I gave some to a homeless person today. They enjoyed it too.

Now, I'm referring to the person you're referring to above. LOL. Follow along.

 

[upstater]

I am saying you will look to respond to any post and defend Ollie, even if the post you are replying to was clearly made in jest. The rest of your post is just a bunch of incoherent babble.

Clearly made in jest. Then you have posters saying the same thing straight non sarcastically right below. Posters like you have said similar things repeatedly on this board. Even 8893 referenced that fact in the original post.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Has anyone else noticed that the team is playing much better without Cobb? Is this a coincidence or was he messing up the entire flow of the game and KO'S game plan with his selfish play? I say KO keeps him on the bench 95% of the time if he ever comes back. We are clearly doing just fine without him.

 

[pj]

Chief00 - You were planning to use mercenaries to counter protesting feminists? Buying them beer? Sounds like a strategy for a riot doomed to go down in a blaze.

Sounds to me like something Shakespeare could turn into a dozen marriages.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we never see Cobb again. Like you said, the team doesn’t miss his play and this may be the first year in a while where we could use an extra schollie.

Cut the crap out. I went to med school at SUNY. Its one of the best bargains out there. SUNY is a driving engine for the local economy. If there r no SUNIES n its affordable education. Upstate NY will look a lot like rural Pennsylvania

He has no other choices, its UCONN or dropping out of school. In some ways, I want him to finish this yr academically and come back next with a better head on. He was and still is the most talented big at UC

I think it's just the reduction in numbers. The rotation is sorting itself out. Players have a better feel for how and when they will he used.

And I don't think he makes it back in to rotation this year.

And all the guys up front are young kids, who are getting better the more experience they get under their belt. Whaley looking good, Carlton showing up, Mamadou.

Imagine in those first couple of games putting Whaley and Carlton in at the same time. Would be ugly. Now, it's a nice lineup with Larrier at the 3.

I miss the old fashioned grocery store that used to be on route 17 in Portland

 

[Son of Robert]

Cobb has talent, athleticism, and a big body. I hope he comes back with his head on right, mentally focused, and accepts how KO weaves him into the rotation. He also has to accept how KO is trying to utilize certain disciplined aspects of his game, and stick to it, and excel at it. He has to tighten up his game, as well as his mental focus, to reduce his turnovers. I think he could play with more effort on both offense and defense, and if he did all of these things he would get good minutes. I think KO and his staff see all this, and it is up to Eric to respond to it, to come around, to be humble yet strong, and continue his journey as both a team player and an individual in pursuit of his goals. Eric's game needs discipline, effort, and focus. He could be one helluva player.

 

[joober jones]

When he's grounded, Cobb seems like a very nice and well-mannered kid.

Cut the crap out. I went to med school at SUNY. Its one of the best bargains out there. SUNY is a driving engine for the local economy. If there r no SUNIES n its affordable education. Upstate NY will look a lot like rural Pennsylvania

And whats wrong with rural Pennsylvania?

Which one? Look, a few of the SUNYs are "OK" but they aren't great schools. The state screwed up that system like they do everything else. NY should have a top notch land grant university. We should have something at the level of Penn State or Ohio State or Michigan or, hell, even UConn. BTW, PSU is way better than any SUNY so I wouldn't be so quick to knock Pennsylvania. I actually considered moving across the border to get in state tuition for my kids at PSU. I still may do that. The SUNYs are not top notch. They are "good enough" for those people looking for an affordable, decent, education. I would advise my kid to go there if it were between a good SUNY and an overpriced private school that is barely better, if at all. (Syracuse, for example) I mean. yes, it is a good value. But it is not a great education. My son is applying to a couple of SUNYs as safety schools due to the value aspect alone. The one thing it allows is to not already be in debt going into Med school.

Look I am not doing to bash Rural Penn too much. There is an old saying that Penn is Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between. One of the reasons for the Alabama in Penn is Penn St at state college. State college is sucking all the PSU system money dry. The other rural state college r jokes. The best n brightest in penn go to state college n abandon their home regions. SUNY has 4 meds schools disperse into different areas. Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse r all research universities with significant private investment n research money. The avg SAT scores n acceptance rate for the 4 main SUNY r actually higher then state college. Upstate NY has multiple charming regions that is locate nears the universities. The trade off for the dispersal in SUNY money is no B10 football team. There is not much Alabama in NY state either

There are approximately 60+ AAU schools in North America. SUNY has AAU schools. Don't be a slave to US News.
