Gov. Malloy: is he for real?...

[HartbeatHusky]

If we are invited to the B1G, it won't be short term. That's not a short term move. If we are invited there, we're there to stay. Their football is arguably the 2nd/3rd best in the country and don't they make a ton of money on their TV deals? I believe I saw Indiana brings in almost double what schools who actually win games bring in.

I didn't mean it would be short term, I meant it may be a more likely option in the short term for us since the ACC seems like it will not be soon.

Gotcha. I'd love to agree. Not sure I can though, unfortunately. To me it seems like ACC or bust(ed).

Gov Malloy is sounding more and more like the Missouri governor who was pinning for B1G last year. If ACC does not invite us, we got eggs all over our face. In addition, we might be world of hurt if all of our conference mates bail to greener pastures. It is funny our moron of commissioner is out there preaching integrity with the ACC and the B12 yet both of those conferences will be responsible for ripping the BE apart.

Meanwhile, silence out of Providence is just amazing. The moron is probably out there somewhere getting his next sandwich with his clam soup.

How do you fall back to the Big East if it doesn't exist as a football conference?

What do you expect from a man who's favoRite words are "uhh and uhm"

What did Malloy say that you don't understand?

What do you want Providence to say? Unless and until the football schools decide they are staying, no one is leaving anywhere to join. If the football schools do decide they are staying, because there are no more options, then there is work to be done.

Malloy needs to stay out of this as do the rest of the pathetic CT politicians. They have already screwed up the state's finances. Who wants them focusing on Uconn's athletic program?

I recently attended a manufacturing association meeting that featured a speech by Malloy. He spent 15 minutes discussing how George Washington depended on the manufacturing resources of Connecticut ... then said - "Thanks for having me, but I've got a budget crisis I need to solve."

15 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Great.....no disrespect for those with learning disabilities but is this the person to lead the state in these times? You need a governor who can inspire with his speech not humm-a-na, humm-a-na every other word. He needs to leave the business of conference realignment to Herbst and the AD and focus on turning this state around. Messing up the conference deal would be the cherry on top of his accomplishments. As someone said, he is here for a while.

In response to your question, from Wikipedia...

"As a child, Malloy suffered from learning disabilities and difficulties with motor coordination. He did not learn to tie his shoes until the fifth grade and was considered mentally dumb by his elementary school teachers."

you should be ashamed of yourself

That interview was catastrophically bad.

differing views on definition of catastrophic

 

[UCweCONN]

You are a fool. I am making a statement about his incompetence as governor and the lack of confidence he inspires not attacking people with disabilities. What exactly should I be ashamed of? Unless it is not that you misunderstood my point about his lack of eloquence and general incompetence and instead think he is doing a good job. Have you looked at your paycheck recently. We're taxed for everything except breathing and the state's still in debt.

Whether or not you think he's doing a good job, if you really believe that the state's problems were created in the last nine months, or were going to be solved in the last nine months, you are an idiot.

Shame is something you feel when you had intent which I didn't have. I originally was going to respond to the general topic about Malloy and his conference statement and bash him but then when someone commented about his learning disabilities I wanted to ad that I was criticizing him as a leader, not people with disabilities. Maybe replying to that post was not the best choice but I stand by my statements about him 100%.
