Grantland trolling UCONN

as annoying as it is, you could literally write an article exactly similar for most big college sports teams. Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, ohio state.... . If you live in Ohio, people will talk about the ohio state game the day before. I think its a little jealousy that no one cares or talks about holy cross
 
You must have a very juvenile sense of humor if you thought that was funny. I was embarrassed for Jocko as I read it. He is either a) pretending to be stupid, or b) actually stupid.

That's kind of lose-lose if you ask me.
 
He is a tool. He wrote the piece that allowed him to further come off as a tool. He has trashed UConn and we win, I can care less what he thinks because it does not matter. If someone wrote why we would win the national championship I would not care much because it does not matter. I think last season proves that you never know what the hell can happen, and preseason prognostications mean jack-o.
 
I heard this guy on the radio last year before our NC run. I believe it was ESPN radio. I think it was either Cowherd or Gottlieb, or someone else. He is a friend of whomever the host was. His rant was almost word for word what he wrote in the article other than the current events. He is a one trick pony with the same tired song. OK we get it you hate Uconn. But at least hate us with some new material.
 
That was pretty bad, I admit. JackO is a charity case. Kind of like LeBetard's father's without the brains. I still have Grantland bookmarked, though.

If you guys want him to wither away into nothingness, the worst thing you can do is talk about him.
 
He's got the pulse of the program. It's really tough to get tickets for sure.

Good for you, UConn Hipster.

Makes no sense. UConn sold out the HCC all the time even before JC got there.
 
He is an insurance company attorney in hartford, who cares what he thinks. He likes it when UConn fans go after him, just like he enjoys it when he can piss on the red sox. If you see him as a troll, the number one rule of the internet is to not feed trolls, so therefore ignore the man.

or click onto the article. No reason to validate the article. He's just someone expressing his dislike to a program. This board does it all the time to Duke and BC. And sometimes to Georgetown and Pitt. It doesn't change one thing about the accomplishments of the men's program anymore than our ridicule changes the accomplishment of Duke. Just juvenile behavior all around.

how in the hell does he have over 30k followers on twitter? there are that many people that care what dude has to say?
 
there was a time when i enjoyed bill simmons and his writing style. i have read enough now to know that he is not a writer, he is a resuscitator of gimmicks. it seems that his buddy jack-o similarly lives in the past.
 
People forget the entire quote. It's "not one dime, I want to retire some day." Not only was that a joke, it was a funny joke.

Good thing I didn't have a beer when I read this, it would be coming out my nose.
 
Hey JACKOff, I would expect nothing more than an article such as this from you. I dont really follow your writing/blogs (since you dont really have many) so I dont know who your col basketball team is or even if you have one. Do you actually root for Holy cross? If not I am assuming its UMass but either way its pathetic. You made an interesting career for yourself riding Simmons' cock .. gotta give you that.

My buddy just started a blog, and since my credentials match up almost identically to Jack-O's (except for the fact that I watch college basketball) I figured I'd try and give it the FireJoeMorgan.com point counter-point treatment. I don't think I quite did justice to its bottomless insolence, but it was fun to vent anyway. If you want to check it out its: http://rantingesteban.com/2011/10/2...end-write-some-crap-about-college-basketball/
 
LOL, that guy has been destroyed many a time

can you imagine his anguish watching our post-season run last year?

is he that loser Truth from ESPN?

How did jacko burn his tongue?







He ate pizza before it was cool. :)
 
As a personal diatribe against all things good and beautiful, (Huskies and JC), this effort certainly cannot be categorized as journalism! Who does support this clown??
 
LOL, great analysis of why UConn won't win! For some reason people don't realize that Grantland is Bleacher Report but with better writers.

I beg to differ on that one. I remember getting courtside in HCC watching Cliff Robinson led Uconn with less that 10k in the stands

On this issue, people seem to have two distinctly different experiences. I suppose it depends on the opponent. I was only in my teens, but I'd go to HCC between 1982-1986 all the time, and the place was always packed and jumping. Then again, I only went to games against the top of the BE, StJ, Syracuse, G'twon and Nova. The place was incredibly loud and rockin'. And UConn won more than a few of those games.
 
If you dislike Uconn so much well that's your right but man get the facts right. This idiot is so f##ked up in his factual account it's totally laughable. Anyway I keep getting when I post that I'm a new member , not so I'm an old and wise member and I noticed I've only got 10 pts in my 25 messages .Come on guys give it up give me some points. Yes if I knew more and posted more intelligent messages and had some inside scoop I'd probably get more points but isn't this pleading in and of itself worth a freaking pt. or 2. Of course I say this in jest and I'm sitting here with a massive hangover from last night. Go huskies! & screw Grantland.

Big East games sold out before Perno ran the program into a ditch.
 
does Simmons realize that without Calhoun the Celtics would still be trying to win their first championship since 86
 
What's great is that the Syracuse board has his same thread even though their piece is supposed to be vastly different.
