You understand that you don't actually run the team, right? I'm a little worried about you.

I guess that it is matter of personal preference. I'd rather talk about the potential of the kids we have that cry about the kids we've lost for the next four months.

No but I do know enough of what's going on to know Ollie has made a huge mess of things the past couple of years. I hope he can turn it around but that continues to seem less likely.

My preference will never be to stick my thumbs in my ears because I don't like what I'm hearing.

My preference isn't complain endlessly about things over which I have no control.

But I do get your frustration SJ.

What happened to this Board. The constant whining has become Sickening. Count me in as one of Pollyanna's because I REFUSE to jump off the bandwagon at the first sign of trouble. I am ALL IN on UConn Basketball and I am rooting for Ollie to turn things around. I will always continue to support our basketball team with 10 Toes In...

Constantly bashing Ollie, Assistant Coaches, the conference etc. is not going to change anything (bashing the conference I kinda understand LOL). All it does is create this doom and gloom atmosphere on this board.

A few recruits transferred; that issue seems like it is being addressed (coaching changes etc). We missed out on a few recruits including this Italian kid that no one knew existed a few weeks ago. It is not the end of the world folks. I have never seen whining fix a problem in my life.

Pick a side. Either you are All IN or All Out.

I am ALL IN....Bash away, but I am not changing sides.

I will now go back to being a spectator on this board and a Real Fan in Real life.

If you think this is the first sign of trouble, you haven't been paying attention.

All I can assume s that Geno and his mom's cooking were not involved.

Yikes, you're talking about Lubbock.

Maybe part of what gets lost in translation.

"Texas for college" has a general connotation of busty and leggy Austin coeds.

It's probably not like that at every school in Texas, just a hunch.

Look at Sterling Gibbs and Shannon Miller. They were veteran transfers here last yr. They love the program and Ollie. What did Ollie do differently in the past 12mths. Maybe it's the kids, one had an overbearing father who thought his son should run the team as a freshman. One refuse to work or study game film. One thought the biggest issue is coaching and not his insanely slow footwork or lack of instincts. I have been a manager for yrs. I know to trust the judgement of a mature college graduate then a disgruntled freshman. Ollie did not do a good job this yr, I agreed. The team will be much better next yr

Shannon Miller wasn't much of a player for us but you can never take away that team gold medal she won at the '96 Olympics.....
 
We took him for Italian food when all he really wanted was Steak and Shake.

Yeah kind of a false choice, right? That would be like me saying "my preference will never be to sit the corner and cry."

I hear you Superjohn, I really do, but whining about it for the next 4 months is just going to make this place intolerable.

I find that blowing smoke serves no purpose, I always choose honesty over baseless optimism. .[/QUOTE]

That's the problem. Always seeing a different perspective as wrong. And now we are not honest due to a different approach.
Try letting other people be who they are and we can let you be angry.

And CHB, if we all behaved like you, how would that change things?
