Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2097557, member: 37"] Conferences help but it seems a terrific coach in a so so conference demonstrates a better correlation for success than a bad or so so coach in a terrific conference. I still believe that KO will be considered a terrific coach when all is said and done. What he's had to face between the APR, conference realignment and this years injuries very few coaches have had to handle. This forum is divided only in the degree each of those situations impacts performance. Some put very little or no emphasis on them and blame KO. Others emphasize them strongly. I'm in the latter camp. Right now you're in a honeymoon phase with the ACC. We envy you're landing. But if history is a lesson not many programs in the ACC outside of tobacco road are happy with tobacco road. We'll see if your fans end up like the majority of fans in the ACC. I love trashing the ExCuse because there aren't many teams I'd want to see UConn play and beat than you guys. And trash talking is the kind of thing that happens when there are geographical rivalries. Which is why I, like most of the people in this forum, would love to see a UConn Syracuse game played every year at MSG. We'll see how you bounce back from the penalties and a coaching change. We were lucky to get an NC with our transition but since you've been reading our forum you know that in spite of this championship the transition has been anything but easy. And your sanctions are worse. Now you have the Dome and the ACC so those could be positives. On the other hand your conference could destroy your records and that could contribute to a vicious cycle of recruiting and fan drop off. A cavernous Dome could hurt. Bottom line is for all the smack talk and all the people claiming they know future events no one really knows how things play out. [/QUOTE]
