I can't believe someone had the notion rothstein slighted uconn at any point in his career as a journalist

Who said that? I think everyone in this thread is on the same page that Rothstein pumps up everyone he sees.

Someone was just making a joke about the Boneyard's propensity to feel slighted by the media - and then not ever forget about the slight (after Fishy asked why we should take his tweets with a grain of salt).

Yeah, but I don't think that person was speaking specifically about Rothstein as much as he/she was making fun of the oversensitivity of the board.

I'm not sure if 'oversensitivity' is a word, but I'm going with it anyway.

If it's not, it should be.

In fairness to the BY, every message board if oversensitive to criticism.

Think ollie will have a quicker hook this season. Not so much with bazz or daniels, but everybody else. More depth means he's got options to find a good 5 man combination

The last time "major" work was done was probably 4-5 yrs ago when they put in the new video/scoreboards on each end. Those were changes that we needed. Thinking about it now, what could possibly be done to renovate the inside besides the attention that the roof needs?
Expand ...

Fix that freaking hole in the roof. I am embarrassed every time I see it.
 
It is true that Rothstein really doesnt have a bad thing to say about anybody but Its his job to travel all over the country all year long to visit schools, attend games, and watch practice so he probably doesnt want to burn any bridges. I will say it seems like he is genuinely pro UConn and Calhoun judging by the way he talks about the program in general. Whenever Rothstein guest hosts the Tim Brando radio show he always has Calhoun on and it also seems that Calhoun likes talking to him. Its just funny how we bash reporters/broadcasters who hate UConn and now some are bashing Rothstein for showing a lot of love toward UConn. The Boneyard is a tough crowd but thats why I love it.

Yeah, while not a knock on Louisville at all, that's an implicitly critical comment from Rothstein (and I mean critical in the "neutral" sense).

How could he not. You've basically told us he's a combination of Michael Jordan, Lebron James, and Iron Man. I expect 40/20/10/10 every game.

Either that or a dude who comes off the bench and is decent.

I remember the shirts being sold on campus that said something to the line of Doing it doggie style at the ConnDome for the first game there. I bought one but somewhere through the years lost it. Wish I still had it.

Did I miss something? Your predictions are still crazy. Why do you think they sound less crazy? Because Ollie complimented the kid while he was complimenting every other member of the team?

Sheesh...I went to the first game there vs. St. John's. Where the heck did 20 years go? ;)

Me too. Moved to the west coast the next day!

Your predictions remain 100% crazy in the actual real world the rest of us exist in, but maybe you're talking about the world you've created in your mind. I guess they could look less crazy in that world.

You are delusional for sure. Bazz, Boat, Deandre, and Omar averaged double figures last year. I believe Kromah will be a decent role player off the bench, but there is no way he is averaging 14 or more points per game.

More like the type of breast that goes in a nursing bra than a string bikini - DEFINATELY NOT SEXy.
