Is UCONN Football positioning for independence?

You freaks have an obsession with weed, apparently. Can we stop making fun of it, considering I use it for medical reasons?

Big supporter of medical marijuana if that's what makes someone's quality of life easier/better... my bad.

I'll just make fun of your post w/o the weed references in the future

The most telling part of this is that BYU is on here TWICE. They are the most prestigious program operating as an independent and they are stuck in a yearly deal traveling to UMass. If it won't work for a traditional program with their own ESPN deal, history of championships and a global religious following it will not work for UConn. Until a better conference situation appears, I'll take the yearly Cincy/USF/Temple games and the ability to actually attract a few P5 home and homes.

Honestly I'm shocked that this thread has made it 6 pages.

It doesn't really work for anybody. Notre Dame, repeat Notre Dame, needs a scheduling agreement with The ACC just to guarantee credible access to bowls. BYU is nearly shut out entirely. Unless they are undefeated or a strong 11-1, the best they get is some terrible third tier bowl tie in. These programs have both won national titles in the modern era and are considered to bring national followings of credible size. No disrespect to UConn, but what the hell could they hope to negotiate?

I'm pretty sure 95% of the boneyarders who have more than 1,000 posts would qualify for medical marijuana. Not sure what the illness would be, but I'm quite sure we would qualify instantly.

All for medical marijuana, by the way.

Of course you are. Gateway drug.

Alcohol is the gateway drug in this society. You're welcome.

This thread has been derailed. That's a good thing, right??

B Weed to heroin

Alcohol is how people start getting intoxicated here in the first place. That's a gateway drug. Illegal to illegal was a dumb comparison. Weed is legal now. You know opioid medicines are synthetic heroin, right?

The whole gateway drug theory has been thoroughly debunked. Correlation does not causation.

a. Most heroin users started with marijuana.
b. Most heroin users wore pants.
c. Does marijuana cause heroin use?
d. Do pants cause heroin use?
e. Since very few users of marijuana or wearers of pants go on to use heroin, we know that it does not cause heroin use.

Marijuana as a Gateway Drug: The Myth That Will Not Die

Right. Just as most people who drink wine don't become alcoholics, most users of marijuana don't go on to other drugs. Nor do most wearers of pants, though occasionally some do.

Most heroin users wore pants. Do pants cause heroin use?

Unclear, but Sean Connery is not a heroin user, so there's another data point for you.
