Creighton forum talking UConn

Misses the point. It's not about the commonwealth in toto. It's about Pittsburgh. Everyone considers Philly as northeast, but consensus on Pittsburgh is very mixed.

No it makes your point. Of all the respondents survive from the states down Pennsylvania has one of the lowest % of those that consider it Midwest. The the survey results show the results aren't mixed. There's more of a consensus that Pennsylvania is not consider Midwest.

(Never mind, I follow you now. Anyone, I randomly read that article yesterday and felt it added to you cause.)
 
I was disappointed in our boards NEED to be #1 most recently as well as the question of “what will be the next close game” thread. That’s complete arrogance rather than just letting the year happen as it may. Love confidence in our team but the assumption we’re going to kick everyones ass is not a good thing.

Again, these guys are really good but there’s others too. Let’s watch it play out!!!
I look at the schedule and I'm sure we can win every game this season. But as each game approaches, I worry we might lose this one. Except LIU I didn't worry about LIU.
During the game, I worry until we're leading by twice as many points as there are minutes left in the game. And when it's over, I look at the remaining schedule, and thing yeah, we should win all f these.

"Ooh, look at me, I'm UConnSwag11 and I know all about what people from different places are like!"

You're such an idiot!
As I write this, you've got 4 total reactions and each is different. I'd love to see all 7 reactions, and only one of each. I figured I could click on the sad emoji to help the cause, but then it popped up that it meant "Dislike." Say what? If that's the case, then what does the thumbs down mean?

So now I'm gonna gamble by clicking that I "love" the post, and hope that 2 people who don't like it (or want to play along) will post the sad-faced "dislike" and the angry-faced "disapproval." If that happens, then I really will Love the post, because it got one each of all 7 possibilities...so long as nobody else messes things up by adding an 8th reaction.

Just for you Hans
 
Don't agree. History matters. It weighs on teams. Teams are more than the current players or even management. They are entities.

Look how hard it was for the Red Sox to break the curse and how the championships have flowed ever since.
It helps recruiting and helps create a fan base. But the truth is the fact that the Yankees won a lot of WS will never have any impact on how a given year's team performs. It's the same with UConn. We aren't better in 2022-23 because we won in 1999.

This should be a very fun year. The enthusiasm around here is palpable.

But while it is important that the team doesn't become overconfident...

Posters here thinking that we will be undefeated this year....neither good nor bad. It doesn't effect the play on the floor

So this minutes left vs. Points thing....
It sounds good when you're up 20 with 10 min. to go or up 10 with 5 to go. But what about up 2 with a minute to go?

That's fair. Ohio is the midwest. That article is interesting. I never considered Minnesota or the Dakotas the Midwest. I connect them with Montana and Wyoming in that upper plains states category. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska I consider the midwest, along with the three I states and Ohio and Michigan.

More follow up to the original. Note that Missouri people consider themselves midwesterners, not southerners. But like Pittsburgh, I wonder if Springfield, MO would agree.

Minnesota and Wisconsin are about as Midwest as it gets.

Have had multiple interactions with family members(through marriage) who are natives of Wisconsin.. They would be highly offended if you said they were anything other than Midwesterners. Trust me on that.

My whole Dads side of family is from Minnesota. I spent all my summers as kid there. Same.
 
Lived in Illinois which extends much further south than people realize. That is definitely midwest and so is Missouri.

Any UConn bars in Pitt? Probably not but I'll be there for a few weeks over the holidays and need to escape my in-laws and watch the Nova game somewhere.
 
Agreed. The South and Midwest are cleaner, the people are much friendlier and polite. They also don’t mock and insult other people like people in the NE do
Disagree. People in the south and midwest might be nicer to your face but they will talk shit about you the moment you turn around. It's a fake niceness. There's more BS. In the NE there's no BS. I llived in Virgnia nad have family in Georgia, SC, and Louisiana. Down there all the time.

None of those places are in the Midwest.

Yep, you would be correct on that one, but I'll throw the midwest in that same boat, based on my experiences. Nice to your face.

I agree that southern hospitality is a mile wide and an inch deep.

But the people in the midwest are genuinely nicer.

Pittsburgh is a fun city and the people are great. Lots of restaurants and bars. Been there in the summer a couple of times and took in some baseball games. Very scenic city.
