Whooops! There's a reason I majored in English.

I knew it!

I'm not sure why so many have a bleeding heart for Duquesne in this thread... They made their own beds. Not to mention when you use the words "bully", "soul crushers", and "soul dominators" in a press conference you deserve what ever you get back. Not only that to then say that you don't understand why Geno would "comment on his teams feelings". C'mon now... they got what they were asking for. They wanted a team outing to attempt to pet the husky. Well welcome to the freakin Zoo. Unfortunately, the cost of the admission was the end of your season.

STORRS, Conn. – Emilie Gronas saw something Monday night in Duquesne’s 97-51 NCAA Tournament second-round loss to No. 1 Connecticut that’s seldom seen in women’s college basketball.


She saw the Dukes go toe-to-toe with the top team in the nation for 15 minutes.


And she saw something else.


“I saw some fear in their eyes, and that was great to see,” she observed. “Many other teams, they just stroll through and it looks so easy for them. I think they had to work for it today, especially in the beginning. I’m so proud of my teammates.”

That wasn't fear she saw that was being extremely pizzed off. I can't remember Stewie having such an angry look on her face. I think that was when she had enough. Of the Dukes. Don't ever tug on superman's cape! Or try to pet his dog.

All this nonsense about "bulletin board motivation" is just that, nonsense. If the duchesses had said "I can't tell you how much we admire the UConn players and coach, and how honored we are just to be on the same court with them", the outcome would have been just exactly the same.
The Huskies play the way they do because that is the way basketball should be played, regardless of whom they are playing. Absolutely nothing personal, except possibly to the extent of taking a little extra pride in shutting down a star player on the other team. No fear, no anger, no malice. (I make an exception for the Syracuse game a few years back; that was a unique situation.)

Yea, duh. Why shouldn't they say that? What's the matter with honesty?

In the world today there are some people who despise honesty and at ease with cliques they can hide behind (meaning they can say things they really don't mean)

I don't know, they are not machines.

Isn't taking "a little extra pride" & shutting down a star player who provided the bulletin board, as UCONN did against USF's Courtney Williams impacting the outcome of the game?
