had one next to us last season, constantly critiquing and yelling at our players, didn't matter how well we were doing or how much we were up in the game, something wasn't up to his standards. Also would salt the yelling with curses, what a nightmare. One of the only nice perks of the re-shuffling of season ticket holders is he's not in our new section.
Here's the thing... there are plenty of diehard fans who don't act like balloon knots to excuse the ones who do. Restraint can be had.
He said it so Dan won't have to. My guess is they've talked about the subject and agree.
This is a whole lot of nothing. Geno doesn't have a filter, it's one of the things I like about him. I like Geno and I consider him an , it's a term of endearment. The whole takes one to know one thing.
I have the same sentiments and I get where Geno is coming from, but I just don't get why people are OK with Geno calling fans balloon knots. You just don't do that. Call them out for being too negative or over reacting. Even if there are so many balloon knots as he is suggesting, too bad. They help pay for the programs. If the coaches don't like the criticism, take a job in another state where fans are used to losing. Seriously, it's ok for people to disagree with great coaches once in a while.
You've gotten multiple from me and I post all the time. You're incorrect, but I respect your right to be incorrect
And I respect your right to be wrong as well. Because you are wrong. I'm not gonna go around giving dislikes though.You've gotten multiple from me and I post all the time. You're incorrect, but I respect your right to be incorrect
Sorry to hurt your feelings with a dislike. I think you'll live.
Nope
Why defend the jerk fans? He’s only calling out the jerk fans. Not all donors are jerks, just the jerky ones. I’m a donor and I’m not offended. I’m not alone.
Geno was the guy being a jerk. You don't call your fans balloon knots. We don't even know what the heck he was referring to. Could be one post, but he makes it sound like it was hundreds of posts. I'm not afraid to say the great one was wrong, because he was. No need to demean the program by saying we have lousy fans and that is exactly what he did. Lousy job by geno. and his cult.
Outside of the chat/posts on here - think you need to expand your UConn Twitterverse/IG follows… replies/comments get mighty fugly @ times.
Good thing you missed the time he’s called out the Boneyard by name
nah, I'm good. I've got enough on my plate. people can share the posts if they are so inclined
not sure what this means but ok. i assume the women's board...
Solid reason not to join the chats.
Geno wasn't calling me a balloon knot and he doesn't give a rat's patooie about your criticism
I think one of Geno's enduring quality is he's honest and candid .. criticism of the play of UConn teams is understandable but some FANS go to such crazy extremes that they deserve to be shamed a little bit .. are these guys really fans of the team or as Geno put it, fan's of winning so they can brag about championships to their buddies? Maybe they ought to take a timeout before they say such cruel and hateful things about players that are playing their hearts out but are human and flawed and occasionally screw up or play poorly
Yeah, I'm calling this out as BS. Back it up with actual posts, or men up and admit you've never read that thread.
Oh my gosh I'm so happy you asked. Here are 10!!
literally read any social media post on UConnMBB's IG page after any close win, or god forbid a loss. It's disgusting. Go read the post after the creighton game right now please.
That's kind of the point 80s. His comment was directed at the men's team and he asked how can that one team have so many balloon knots following it. Like you said, every sports program has them. He had no reason to take a positive question and reply negatively about UConn Basketball fans. He didn't call anyone out. He criticized a large chunk of the men's program. Total D move.
