How was it disrespectful? For years I looked at CR from a logical standpoint. Best basketball team in the best conference ever, no professional team in the state, draws well and has a tv contract with a N.Y. network, built football from nothing, I could go on and on. How do you see a way out of this predicament? Please don’t say fire Ollie. It goes much deeper. Maybe it was the lawsuit, maybe it was our location.
How was it disrespectful?
From an outsider, with a 2 sided personality that vacillates between false support to snarky comments we get this:
. UConn may become like an aging spinster who wistfully fingers a desiccated corsage pinned in an old scrapbook.
So call me thin skinned.
To answer your other questions, you and I are not very different at all. For those same reasons I thought we were just in a waiting game, that our worth was obvious. And one kick after the other I slowly became disabused of my belief and started to lose faith. It's some of all the things you cited and more. And I am not in the fire KO camp, yet, though I do have some doubts due to recent performance.
I wish I had a way out, but I don't. For now, we need to make the best of where we are and what we are. We have a great athletic department. We have an outstanding tradition of excellence in men's basketball, that can be reclaimed. We are rebuilding the football program. We have the best women's basketball program in the world. Our non revenue sports rank among the best.
So for now we must claw our way into the top of the AAC; and if no one is smart enough to call us to the P5 then we make the AAC the best league that it can be, for our sake.
Sorry if I've been a bit touchy. Like you I
know we deserve better.
Edit:
Jeez the filters, pr*ckly is not an obscenity or profanity.
