I stopped looking for success, now I can see progress

[dogpause]

I have to confess that I fell off the dog sled for a few years. I couldn't handle the losing, but mostly I couldn't handle the overwhelming sense of unfairness that put us where I never thought imaginable. That's why I rarely posted for the past couple of years. (There, I teed it up.)

But now I'm back, because I truly believe that moving back to the Big East is the best news since the signing of Chris Smith. I predict that UConn will become a compelling Rags-to-Riches-to Rags-to-Riches story-line. It's perfect for TV.

I believe Hurley will get the talent he needs -- he's already shown he can recruit, but he's still adapting to competing, and teaching, at a higher level. There's a learning curve for him.

Finally, I find it curious that so many are focused on W/L, which I understand. However, after being away, I find myself surprised that the general mood here, seems to be, and this is just my opinion, skewed a bit to the negative.

I see progress and glimpses of our future. This team is learning to compete at the highest level. Next, comes winning.

Sorry to ramble. I'm excited for the program, and I'm back on the sled.

Well I guess we were just spoiled by, I don't know, 4 national championships and 20+ years of elite caliber college basketball! Can you blame us for being frustrated by losing to USF, Wagner, St. Joe's, et al?

Welcome back, enjoy the ride!

welcome

We’ve got 3 ranked teams left on the schedule Houston twice and Memphis. It’s time to make the donuts.

We’ve made improvements. It just proves how far off we really were - without Jalen Adams (who was very talented), we probably don’t win double digit games for the last 3 years.

Welcome back dogpause good to hear from you!

It's like you don't know us at all anymore.

Welcome back!

Progress Proceeds Success

Occasional success happens but is really fools gold.

Without true progress there can be no sustained success

Observing the Boneyard is overly negative is reminiscent of the classic scene in Casablanca where the person walks up to the inspector and reports that there is illegal gambling taking place at Rick’s .
Like the cynical Captain Renault , played masterfully by Claude Rains , I‘m appalled to hear that .

Any Casablanca reference gets a like from me.
