susan has some 1 who reads this place, they will get message across

HFD, while few doubt your passion, most have concerns about how you express it. Susan reads her own emails and has no designated presidential boneyard lurker. Even if she did, it's unlikely she'd take your comments as anything more than a mindless rant and dismiss them. If you're intent on writing to the University President, in any forum, I'd suggest showing some respect, some class, and a smidgen of evidence that you were awake during English class.

i dont mean to get at u specifically nostical ...

then i sugest to her that she respetcs all the fans of uconn that spend money and support all her schools sports. she wants respect? class? educated fans?

fine. i would say thats fair. now then she needs to respect the fans investment both money and time wise. its a absolute insult to every fan who spends a dime on uconn what has been uconn sports the past 4 months. hows that? uconn fans are way above the average fanbase education wise and they are also very educated sports wise in general. so running out that football staff is a joke to them. respect the school? how about the dam school respects me? thats insulting. i'll respect the frucking school when they treat me like a good fan. thats coaching staff, the ko contract, horrible marketing, the brand issues and so on. all of that pisses every fan off. and u want the fans to turn the check and say things are gravy? thats a insult to me and the fans. you want me to stop posting fire and warde threads, then give me a reason not to.

i could take half of the people on this board or where ever to frucking town education wise. u have no clue what degrees i hold. to try to play the school hates me becuase i rant and tell it how it is game. its absolutely insulting what they have done ath dept wise the past handful of months. it screams mid major and incompetence. tell me i'm wrong. please do becuase that would just add to the list of clueless people in storrs. no vision, no clue, no pulse for the base, no pulse for the future base and no media or marketing skills. yeah, i'm the jackass. i'm just a kid who posts messages on the internet. you are in charge of millions of dollars and effect thousands of lives. nice try.

 

[coachcap]

I try not to read this board. I guess I am going to have to try harder.

1. You're one of the hallowed one, you should visit MORE often.
2. You're going to have to B1G harder!

 

[Nostical]

tell me i'm wrong. please do becuase that would just add to the list of clueless people in storrs. no vision

None of us are happy about where we are, but it is disingenuous to think SH and WM don't have a game plan. They have a lot of issues hanging in the balance, like that plate spinner on the old Ed Sullivan Show. It's great to have vision, but vision without execution is hallucination. They are fully aware of the stakes. I don't have to tell you there's a lot going on--just maybe not at the pace or with the publicity you'd prefer.

so then why did u post like a week ago asking for warde to come up or show his vision. w/e the post was...the last time u posted something i read it and knew the agenda u had. i think it was the fire or keep p stuff. i asumed that the warde vision post was the same thing as in u were alerting ppl warde was about to make noise. hes doing a grand ole job i tell ya. great job. im going to buy 10 season tix this year for me and all my friends becuase they will def want to go watch this team play every week. and they love how it may take 1 more year for uconn to be elite in bball again now that we go roasted by the ko contract on the trail. they are ok with what ko can do this year on the trail, but boy they would have loved it if we landed bell and xrm and were a f4 player next year. but its ok, they are still going to get tix to 4 to 5 games next year instead of season tix like we had all thru college. not a big deal. #bleedblue was a failure becuase he didn't investigate it, if he did he would know u either dont use it, or u own it. he has done neither. own it u ask? pump it so much that the other couple schools that loosely use it get so voiced over that there students drop it and it becomes uconns. but we didn't do that either so who cares, i love sharing things with like minded institutions. like #bleedblue, we share it with georgia frucking state. great!!!! i can go on for days. but becuase i come off as uneducated, that means every idea and point i have means squat. if a fan wrote of the ideas i had to alabama on a message board, the athletic department would buy him a beer and name him a position in the dpeartment for chrsit sake just based on his education level and dreams alone. up here, the elitest attitude has gotten uconn real far. congrats to them. keep on trucking away with the bullpoop and excuses. boston college is laughing at u.

What issue does Warde have hanging in the balance? (insert doughnut joke here) Maybe he has a lot of plates spinning because it takes him forever to make a decision. Grab the football plate, smash it to the ground and then bring someone in to rebuild it.

Dan why don't u just ask herbst out and get her drunk

 

[Dann]

Dan why don't u just ask herbst out and get her drunk

did u see that halftime interview with her and her brother during a womens game? its on utube somewhere. that guy would beat the heck out of me socially and physically, i have to know my limits....

 

[RMoore1999]

u should see the emails i write. i make a fist and mash the keyboard. i sign it "clownass"

susan has some 1 who reads this place, they will get the message needed across. its all about a lot of pressure, not just from a few of us but a lot of us. all u guys who would rather crow about my grammer or a fake twitter then the real problem are actually prt of the problem. don't let uconn slide thru this with the same issues still going on. fire warde, paul and george.

"susan has some 1 who reads this place". Unfortunately, its Fishy...we are officially doomed!!

I think the decision to retain PP (and, by association GDL) isn't REALLY being made by Susan or Warde. Larry McHugh is the president of the Board of Trustees, the guy who basically forced PP on Hathaway, Bob Burton be damned.
McHugh - ex-Xavier coach, member in good standing with our buddies the CT HS football coaches association - has managed to stay out of the limelight and keep his hands clean during all this nonsense (including yesterday's).
An intrepid member of the Horde should ring Larry up sometime and see what he thinks. Google "football coach" and "Board of Trustees" and any big-time I-A program sometime (make sure to add a school or you'll get a ton of Penn State hits). BOT pressure usually results in coaches leaving, here, in the bizzaro world of CT, it's resulted in a crappy coaching staying.

 

[RMoore1999]

A good part of me truly wants to open Dan's chest with a can opener and start throwing organ meat at the wall.

Then he posts something like that and you can't help but like the lunatic.

Surprising to me how HFDan's lack of capitalization, grammar, spelling, punctuation (other than the "/") and overall coherence inflames and infuriates people so. At least Fishy brings the clever humor.

hfd is entertaining and a welcomed diversion from our current dumpster fire of a situation and all the naysayers.

 

[RMoore1999]

Al defends RU to death. In the worst situations, he is always positive

Dan tears UCONN down if they don't do what he wants when he wants it. Non Stop Negativity.

Really?

It think he's just the opposite. Relentless enthusiasm for positive change for THE University of Connecticut. The lunatic stuff is part of the comedic routine. Appropriate approach for a University Board Room? Probably not. But it plays well for me a fuc%ing message board...

 

[RMoore1999]

It's not an either or. You can crash recruiting without effecting next year's coaching situation one iota. In fact, that would be by far the single most likely result of your campaign.

Don't make me hope that you are taken hostage by the Westchestertonians during the land battle! landadon'tdon't ma

Help me, please. Are you suggesting that some lunatic fan(s)/message board poster(s) tweeting that our AD and coaches receive their just desserts will have a dramatic impact on recruiting?

 

[J187Money]

Knock it off. That's uncalled for. I know you aren't serious but come on.

(Ok thanks for moderating your own post)

i was hoping i would fire some one up real quick...

I happen to know him. So I couldn't in all good conscience let that slide.

 

[Dann]

thats fair. i'll get rid of it. but he needs to go also then. left right left right

 

[J187Money]

thats fair. i'll get rid of it.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

 

[Dann]

Thanks. Appreciate it.

i crossed the line while not serious but still crossed it so u dont need to be thankful in any way. i shouldn t have told that joke/funny guy quote at all...

but as u know, i am a habitual line stepper....

 

[Alum86]

Ruskin: good point re: McHugh. Never thought about that.
Coach Blue hire ultimately on Jeff H, but McHugh the rah rah Xavier boy must have been whisperi' in his ear. I hate that we went small time pandering to CT HS. Coaches by hiring Blue. Supposing you are correct, HFD Please add Larry to the fire warde, Paul and George rally cry.

The way most people act on message boards any act of contrition is out of the ordinary. So I don't think a thank you is out of order.

"susan has some 1 who reads this place". Unfortunately, its Fishy...we are officially doomed!!

This board has become so dysfunctional that I can't even read it, and I am a member and the president (just a hair club for men joke). It has become an embarrassment I hate to say. Almost Cesspool 2. There are no longer football discussions - just fire everybody. Well we are NOT going to fire everybody, we have an upcoming season. Get over it.

If you think that anybody would sort through this mess, other than us, you are crazy. It is a joke. Honestly a joke. No cohesive thoughts whatsoever.

A lot of brainstorming and attempts at humor go on here on a message board. Especially relating to macro issues like realignment, bad coaching, uninspiring administration, etc. And its the off-season (at least for Connecticut Football - has been for a while for some reason...).

What's so wrong about some joking about our current plight on a message board?

 

[rich1122]

Joking is great and I really like it, but the "fire the coaches thing" has to be put to and end. It's run its course. It's no longer funny and I can tell you has put us in a bad light. Please no more. I beg you.

If that's all we are about is "fire the coaches:. Then we are a joke.

We have to deal with reality.
