Drummond on ESPN right now

[JimHurley]

@JimOllie, stop making the rest of us younger folks look bad. Seriously bro...

As an aside, any disappointment I had stemming from Drummond's tenure at UCONN was immediately nullified upon his NBA breakout. He is well on his way to being one of the best centers in the league, and he is honestly a better ambassador for UCONN than almost all of his contemporaries are for their schools. Drummond will continue to bring outstanding publicity to our program for a long time to come, and his success in the league will be an outstanding angle for the staff to use while recruiting big men (even more than Okafor was).

All in all, Drummond is a huge long-term net positive for the program. In hindsight, I can definitely deal with him not being an impact player on a roster in transition.

I'm not disagreeing with any of this. He is on his way to being one of the best centers. He will bring publicity to our program for a long time. But he didn't play well at UConn. That's all I'm saying. He is playing good in the NBA. I'm not arguing that.

I never noticed you before today. And I'm never going to notice you again. IGNORED.

But before we part, let me impart the following advice:

No problem. I'll continue to do my best to bring some good information to this thread whether you ignore me or not. This whole Drummond thing is merely MY opinion and nothing else.

None of the information you've posted has been good though.

Also, clean up your grammar: "us students"? "Playing good"? I have many friends at UCONN and I know that the schools gives a better education than that.

 

[JimHurley]

There's a big difference between grammar on school work and grammar on an online blog. Like I said, I wouldn't have gotten in to UConn if I was dumb. And I doubt you have many friends at UConn because if you do you wouldn't say it UCONN.

You said he was "horrible". Don't backtrack.

Economics.

I'm from Storrs, born and bred motherf***er. Over half of my alma mater's graduating class is on campus. Think again.

And I'm just giving you a tip on how to help with getting taken seriously. Though you don't seem too interested in that.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

he averaged 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 blocks less than davis in a harder conference... i think he played pretty well

Not saying he hasnt played well, because he has, and as you can tell by my name i love him, but since when is the Eastern Conference better than the West?

 

[CTBasketball]

I bet if all us Boneyarders are at a bonfire, we would start dumping gasoline and uranium into it. That's how much we like to feed fires.

 

[zyron]

But he didn't play well at UConn. That's all I'm saying. .

No, it is not all you are saying, you said you don't consider him a true Husky. That is even worse.

 

[Rocktheworld]

LMAO "the majority of the students agree," as if this clown has his finger on the pulse of the entire student population.

The only students left at UConn that have seen him play are seniors.

He doesn't care about online blog grammar but cares about message board capitalization. And that's how he judges whether someone is a current student.

And all this during a massive backpedal effort from "doesn't consider a true Husky" to "didn't perform well"

It has got to be nearly impossible to fail harder than this sad, strange, stupid little person

 

[JimHurley]

You said he was "horrible". Don't backtrack.

Horrible at UConn. Not a horrible player. He's obviously playing well in the NBA right now.

Old Big East is better than the SEC

Wow you call me a sad, strange, stupid little person for having an opinion. It's obviously your opinion that Drummond was good at UConn. I'm not bashing you for your opinion.

 

[Northbound]

Is JimOllie the same dope that started the poll about should Ollie be fired next year if.....?

Seriously how do people get this stupid? I understand everyone has the right to an opinikn, but good god people should know when to keep their opinions to themselves or they'll reveal how dumb they really are.

 

[RayRay19]

Let's be real....there is only one true husky.....

 

[JimHurley]

Wow you guys are ruthless. Everyone in this country has the right to an opinion. I stated mine and stomped on for it. The UConn family isn't as close knit as I thought it was.

You're the one calling out players for not being True Huskies.

 

[JimHurley]

You're the one calling out players for not being True Huskies.

That's my opinion. I have mine. You have yours. No reason to trash me for saying my opinion.

 

[johnhuskies95]

By absolutely no metric except for free throw shooting was he horrible at UConn and yet you keep repeating that inane point and hiding behind it as just your opinion.

If you can't back up your opinion at all that should tell you how valuable it is.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Wow you call me a sad, strange, stupid little person for having an opinion. It's obviously your opinion that Drummond was good at UConn. I'm not bashing you for your opinion.

Nope, you're allowed to have an opinion; it's just that you are a sad, strange, stupid little person for having your particular idiotic opinion in the first place, and then backpedaling on it like you are.

I never stated an opinion with regards to his performance here at UConn (you being stupid again, stop that), and my opinion is irrelevant to the irrationality of yours, which was, as you began with but have since attempted to re-direct, that Drummond is not a "true Husky."

 

[CallMeBruce]

Great thread, guys.

 

[Brochacho]

That's my opinion. I have mine. You have yours. No reason to trash me for saying my opinion.

You trash Drummond and it is an opinion. We trash you and we are ruthless.

I'm not calling you idiot for having your opinion. Have some respect.

I'm not backpedaling on anything. Here's my stance: Drummond was not good at UConn. However, he IS a good player. He just didn't show his true ability at UConn which is obviously disappointing. He's playing well in the NBA which will look good for us.

You trash Drummond and it is an opinion. We trash you and we are ruthless.

This kid is a classic example of that college kid who is book-smart enough to get in to college but has not rational common sense
