Amen!

I only want to read sniveling, whiny, cry baby laments from true fans!

Like me. In fact, all of you should try to be more like me.

I have a dream, a dream that is the Boneyard. And in my dream, all of you are 6'6", 250 on the internet.

Today, let's all resolve to be taller and borderline obese whenever we post. And if you don't, I will meet all of you at some random golf club in Florida for a round of vicious face punching.
 
WWFD? That's what I ask myself before posting sniveling, whiny, cry baby laments. As a result, my life is richer now. I'm going to buy the bumper sticker and encourage all good fans to do the same.
 
I believe we're going to win on Saturday. Yes, we are shooting horribly, I don't care. Yep, we are underachieving on the boards. We can't crack the zone. These are all fair points.

I will "be done" with the Huskies when I am dead, eating a dirt sandwich, pushing up daises to welcome the sun and the morning dew. And if possible, I may support them from beyond the grave, at least, that's what the UConn Foundation suggests I do in the many pieces of literature they send to my address.

Two words. Knuckle tattoos.
 
Actually if its sunny I'd just as soon do something outside to help me lose the excess 2o-30lbs I'm carring on my 6'5 3/4" frame (scale said 275 after Wed's debacle). But IF its raining and miserable, I love me some Huskies, Rolling Rocks, hot wings and a 5lb bag of M&M's.
 
People around here are spoiled little biatches. There is not a team in the country that would not love to be NCs coming into this year.
Does anyone remember anything prior to the BET last year? We looked like crap- we were playing like crap- we pretty much played our way out of the top 25.

We still have all the pieces- if the light can get turned on we have a chance to compete with anyone. If they don't get better I would love to enjoy whatever basketball moments are left this year. I have enough insane people in my work life- this is supposed to be fun and after a NC people should chill- if they can not chill they should do a whole lot of STFU before they dump on our players and coaches after every loss.
 
People forget so soon. Last year we were 9-9. It's a work in progress.
 
Would it be the end of the world if we don't win the BET or repeat as NCs? Sometimes people forget that we are 'only' outsiders looking in and are powerless to change things other than supporting the team come hell or high water. You don't give up on a child struggling or even a friend for that matter.

Do fans of Pitt, Depaul, Rutgers and others who have never tasted the cup of ultimate victory give up on their teams after so many years of failure? And yet they keep cheering and stay on the bandwagon. And our fans aren't can't even get past half a season!

So yes Scote, unfortunately many UConn fans are spoiled little bitches.

that's what I'm talking about

I always go back to the '96-'97 season for inspiration if I feel my commitment wavering -- the youth, the suspensions, the lack of stable leadership. That season I was merely 13 years old (and because of that it was my first season as a truly sentient UConn fan that we didn't make the tourney), but being a kid only made it easier to believe that the team had great things in store if I stuck it out and kept watching. Then I recall what transpired the following two seasons -- even seeing them come together in the NIT that March was a great experience. This team could definitely turn it on sooner than that group did, but even if it doesn't happen until next year I'm gonna watch every second I can and yell at the TV. There's nothing wrong with being frustrated or angry or even throwing things at your television, but to give up completely because of a losing streak makes you look infantile.

This team's time will come. Would you order a filet mignon and then bust into the kitchen while it's still cooking and berate the chef because it isn't ready? No. You sit and wait and occasionally remark to your wife, "Damn, this is taking a while." Let the magic happen.

Ugh, I hate the backlash to the backlash.

No offense to Palatine, a good poster, but the "I'm a mature fan" posts are more annoying to me than the "this team sucks" posts.

Oh, duck* this.

If there is one thing I hate, it's the backlash to the backlash of the backlash.

Hey, I didn't start a new thread!

Excuse me, I'm going to go take some more NyQuil now.

I checked the FBMI (Fishy Body Mass Index). According to your height you need to drop 25lb

this team is most likely going nowhere this season especially now with our leader indefinitely laid up. but you know what? im ok with it and will continue to support this team. i love this team and will stick with them through the good times and the bad.
 
I was hating the backlash to the backlash before it was a popular thing to hate.

I like the optimism. I also believe we will win tomorrow if Blaney sticks to Boat, Lamb, Roscoe, Oriakhi and Drummond lineup. I dont want to see any substitutions for the first 10 minutes at all especially not Napier playing at the same time as Boat as that will cause tension.

I agree even if they're down 20 no subs whatsover...........Let's not play Boat and Shabazz together at all but let's see a lot of Roscoe and Alex together because they've both been so fn good?? C'mon throwing this all oon Boat and DD makes you look silly I hope you know that?

Gee . . . .I remember reading those same words last season too.

Wonder how that turned out????
 
If Kemba and JC both walk through those doors at Gampel then I'll take back my statement.

Actually I kind of sound like a prophet with all my correct and astute prediction on our players.
If that lineup I listed is down 20 to the Hall which will not happen, then what makes you think a lineup that includes Napier and Daniels will be any better.
 
I was curious and looked through your post history. (Since you're a prophet)

"Your questioning my basketball iq when I have already correctly predicted 2 months in advance since the beginning of the year about..."

"Considering I was right about my points 2 months in advance about Napier..."

"Well considering I was right about Napier being a liability on defense and offense, right about Boatright, right about Daniels not..."

"I hate to point this out but I have said this almost since the beginning, and have..."

"Im glad you guys are coming around to the fact that Boatright is the better option. I have been saying that Napier lack of quickness..."

"Good post but my point from the beginning was that I knew Harkless was a big loss for us when he decommited as I saw a star in that..."

"Told you Harkless is a beast. He is the best small forward in college basketball right now and a top 5 wing player in college..."

"I actually said this in a thread like a week ago that the talent level is weak on"

"but like I said many time before losing Moe Harkless was huge for us"

"This is what I have been saying and I am glad others are coming to this realization"


You seem passionate and have some good observations, but please, stop trying to drive home this point. You can just change your handle to Nostradamus or something.

HAHA good stuff I didnt even realize I was hammering that point through so much. I will be more mindful from now on. Right now I am fcusing my energy into trying to will this team to a win today thats what I am concerned about for now more s than constantly proving my predictions were or are correct.

I would be more than happy to see Napier or Daniels have big games and pull out a win for us today.
