Message: [QUOTE="Storrs South, post: 2557858, member: 7275"] Let's go through everything said in the article Bad Take #1 - the comment about the UConn/Cuse game -- that was an ugly game by all standards but they only lost by 9 so to say they looked like a [I]low level team[/I] feels like a bit of an exaggeration based on that account. We obviously have seen since that this team is capable of far worse and so based on that I would agree but that game was far from the worst Bad Take #2 - talking about Calhoun could tout going to MSG every 2-3 times a year -- they play at least once every year in that building and are slated to play twice next year. This is a poor excuse for current performance in conference. I'm going to beat this over the head again but recruiting isn't the problem, it's the coaching, player development, and player retention. So I'm not buying this conference excuse since we don't play in the BE tournament anymore. Bad Take #3 - The AD is a "schmuck" -- bad look, real sour grapes for someone who is not qualified to be the offensive coordinator. QB Coach would have made a ton of sense but we don't have time to risk a novice at playcalling duties. We have already witness 7 consecutive years of bad football. There was not one single thing in the whole article I considered an accurate representation of the current state of affairs: [LIST] [*]Diaco was fired by Benedict & brought in his coach who is bringing respectability back [*]He will now need to fire Ollie and bring in [Insert Coach of your choosing here] to do the same for basketball [*]Made a great hire for WSOC recently [*]WBB & WFH are killing it as always [/LIST] If you want to talk about Ollie being really bad at his job, I'm here for it. If you want to talk about high ticket prices or inadequate marketing of the program, I'm here as well. I'm not above criticizing the Athletic Department but nothing in this article makes any sense.
