Guys - just breathe

I agree with you Nan, I blame most of it on the many people being cooped up because of COVID. People seem to be different after a year of this disease. I know it's getting on my nerves, don't know what I'm going to do come mid April with no UConn games to watch. I used to go to the games on here but now that SNY has taken many of the games off the board, it may only last a month before I get through them all.

Good one! Forgot all about that song. I should add a YouTube video too so we can have a “Just Breathe”-off if things keep getting worse.

Totally agree. I think it's also a lot of tension about this team... Deep down I think folks would have admitted we didn't have enough to go all the way the last couple years. This year however, poses quite a conundrum for folks.

Do we have the talent to win it all? HE double hockey sticks YES!

Do we have the experience, maturity, and cohesiveness due to covid to win it all? Total open question which brings tension...

I keep asking myself, but who else has both? So why not UConn and these puppies!!!!
 
Totally agree. Everyone needs to... Just breathe.

It's all Tonyc's fault...he is too positive and all that positivity is rubbing people the wrong way. lol :) Seriously, Nan you are right this is a message board where we all come to talk about the team we all love. Maybe when we are all allowed to once again see our team in person...we will be able to burn off some of that negative energy...in the meantime...I would suggest that everyone who is feeling snarky...read Tonyc's post 3 times...you will be cured.

It's the masks, Nan. I don't care how many times they tell me they don't interfere with breathing, they do. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Yes, the masks, the Carbon Dioxide has made us all light headed but we can't talk about that!

I thought that once this season started and we were ale to watch our favorite basketball team on TV that the snarkiness would start to decrease, but the opposite seems to have happened. Go figure. TonyC may be a good therapeutic.

In answer to the question, I guess that's up to any given user. And the administrators.

Aside from that, I see plenty of felicity in the hundreds of comments posted week in and week out. Is there sniping and bickering? Well, I suppose on occasion; but it is pretty much drowned out around here by the milk of human kindness. So . . . I'm not bothered. Sports fans are a lively bunch, often possessed of an impressive array of information, filtered through passion as well as intelligence. (Anyone who's ever sat in a bar in Boston and bitched about the Red Sox over the decades must surely be familiar with the experience.) I only speak for myself: I like spirited dialog, even if punctuated by sarcasm, a harsh word, a curt turn of phrase, back-handed riposte and the like. America is the melting pot of the smart aleck (from Mark Twain, to H.L. Mencken, Dorothy Parker, Bob Hope (yeah, I know, born in London), right on up to George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Norm McDonald, Chris Rock, . . . you name it). I say, "bring it". If you've got a sharp opinion, want to spar, etc., then let's have. There's an easy response if one is deemed to have crossed the line: silence. Otherwise, I don't really see the problem.

I'd rather be exposed to views I despise, then be deprived of the right to be offended.

Unfortunately, the number of people who think this way seems to be shrinking...

I'm sorry, one of the moderators has asked for a little less sniping and bickering. Why would anyone that has joined this forum and therefore agreed to the rules of the moderators and admins have a problem with the request? Just to be argumentative? I don't get it...:eek:
