Crazy Thought

[ctchamps]

Holy ____, I thought you were being sarcastic in your earlier post. You're just as crazy as the rest of them.

Why? Because I suspect there is a possibility that this is coordinated! Not every conspiracy theory is baseless.

Well, we are home to P.T. Barnum, and living proof that there's a sucker born every minute.

C'mon guys, now Amida and Phil are gonna be up nights worried about this possibility.

Can you imagine the string of expletives these guys would hear from Calhoun on a daily basis?

This is the absolute truth and I thought about it. It would be the return of the
Legendary Calhoun "quick hook". Brimah would become a lottery pick based on fear and intimidation alone.

 

[JimHurley]

No, he's a bag and known UConn hater. Other than Jeff Hathaway and Mark Emmert, no one has done more harm to UConn than Yahoo Sports.

Then again who isn't a UConn hater. All of these guys on twitter always take shots at us every opportunity they get.

You are correct that not every conspiracy theory is baseless. However, given that over 99% of them are, you should really think twice about that being a defense for proposing one.

Yes. That's why. You nailed it. Next step is turning some of that psychoanalysis inward and addressing it.

Over 99%? Could you cite your source? Or is this some conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories?

 

[8893]

Yes. That's why. You nailed it. Next step is turning some of that psychoanalysis inward and addressing it.

So @BigErnMcCracken, let's get what you believe on the record here: Do you believe Kevin Ollie is lying, and that he really is interested in the OKC job?

 

[ctchamps]

Schoolyard tactic? I'm not prone to hitting these things based on emotion. Nothing wrong with doing it occasionally. Your need to constantly put down people with opinions that you feel are over the top however..........

 

[8893]

Did you know 70% of all statistics are made up?

 

[nomar]

Did you know 70% of all statistics are made up?

It's actually 71.7%

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and I'm also not a "everybody hates UConn guy," but we know that Woj does in fact dislike UConn. He can get away with saying anything on Twitter. I'd love to know who is sources are, but I bet they're nobody who's actually close to Ollie.

 

[ctchamps]

Since I've got nothing to lose because I was already called out by a couple of people who think I've lost it I thought I would make a greater case for people making that accusation. I kept getting alerted about people who quoted me or "liked" my posts regarding these KO rumors from everyone except BigErn's two posts that he intended as put downs. I only observed them by reading through the threads. So the questions one has to ask are: Am I making this up? Was this just a coincidental funny computer glitch? Or something else?

It will be interesting if we hear some JC comments in the next few days. I'm sure Herbst and Warde are keeping JC abreast of the situation.

Pretty sure JC will know more than either of them. I've said it before, KO isn't kicking JC in the nuts anytime soon. He needs to stick around a lot longer than 3 seasons to show his gratitude for what JC did for him.

Holy ____, I thought you were being sarcastic in your earlier post. You're just as crazy as the rest of them.

Some of these guys have admitted pulling mucky stunts for Calipari in the past. Particularly Wetzel. He has admitted to it. I dont know about the rest but I am certain Wetzel would do about anything Calipari requested of him. It's already been proven.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

And Calipari is pulling the strings in this one because UConn has been whooping him on the recruiting trail and he wants it to stop, right?

 

[maineuconnfan]

If that occurred, because of the nostalgia of him coming back, and the buzz it would cause in the program, you can bet there would be a huge recruiting bump....Calhoun wouldn't play nice with Calapari!

 

[SixRings]

This is beyond insane. A new coach would be recruited from the best available candidates that a very high priced search would produce. What recruit would commit to a HC that would be on the job for a year or two. You cant convince anyone that he could stay longer than two years considering his retirement is already three years old and his past health issues. No doubt he was great but this is ridiculous. I cant believe I bit at it. I'm going to close my head in my car door now.

Lol you should know by now that he doesn't actually state his own opinion, he just sits back and takes potshots at everyone that does. Total squid in my book.

 

[Onions]

Who is out there we could attract to come to UCONN if KO left?

Danny Hurley, URI
Greg Marshall, Wichita State
Archie Miller, Dayton

Marshall just got a big new contract and turned down P5 offers and has Baker/Van Vleet coming back. He's not going anywhere.

My first call is Mr Hurley if I'm Warde and the situation arises. I would hope not to have to make a second call.

Seems like we all agree on this. I'm assuming we'd finally start pulling players out of New Jersey at least.

Doug Wrenn.

 

[Jaker]

My first call goes to Lavin and his wife

Nice strawman dodge. No one said Calipari was behind this.

The question remains who you think is.

Calhoun's 72 years old. He's been unplugged from the recruiting scene for nearly 3 years. Nice try.
