just remember

[Dann]

it was completely possible and i mean that by workable in the middle of the season for warde to fire p and gdl and name brown HC, day OC and hank DC and try to turn around the ship mid season with the team going thru a complete blow up. besides on the field results would have been different, recruiting would be mostly the same and the players would be ok vs a clean house. it was the only option middle of the year and warde laughed at it like a scumball. hell 95% of you laughed at it. laugh it the up all of you. i'm 10 steps ahead of you once again and yet all of you come back with how loyal fans you are bull . cry about the offense a bit more but seaosn tix will be ok next year becuase of md and mich. well ladie da enjoy all your lifes watching us get made a mockery of by 2 b10 teams. u want to land in the b10? so do i, but its going to be a bigger joke then the patrick euwing big dick jokes after we get ran off our home field twice.

you are all cowards. i tried everything possible to ignite this fanbase from going after beat reporters(i wasn't the first but yea i joined that campaign), to hash tags to emails galore to storrs and sponsors. all of you mostly sat on your asses and look what we have now to show for it. go back and read threads the past month or so. tell me what u see, "dont be suprised if db heads north"....i don't know if warde gets it or not. it seems susan does but i'm not sure to what degree athletics wise. but holy there has to be some serious retards in our ad in other roles that dont get it becuase we up everything possible to a degree which is not even funny any more. i mean the dam secratary must mistype and forward it to the assistant who then writes it backwards and then prints it on a flyer and posts it around campus up. its unreal. it truly is.

uconn will not see a dime of my money until house is cleaned and im dam proud of aking that stance at this point. its taken warde way to long to get ko's contract done and we should have never had this issue to start with. hes going to get it done soon, real soon but too late buddy. some of u can argue the otehr side of this, fine i hear u and its a valid argument but when u look at the grand scheme of everything at uconn right now, 100 times out of 100 i would rather make sure my rock program is a rock when tough times surround the rest of your athletic dept. this was not the case by putting ko thru this on the trail. its not that he wont recover and things will be fine in 2 or 3 years becuase he will, hes a soldier and he gets it. its that perception wise with all the other negatives, u just threw the rock off the cliff you retard.

i would be lying if i told u i wish i could work for uconn in the ad somewhere and make decision sand create ideas and all that . but the past month has taught me that there are so many problems up there its not even worth having that dream or thought. i have officially gotten to the point where i question watching bball games becuase it helps the schools tv ratings. im a diehard so dont both with the bs fanhood, its not cute or snarky and it doesn't get to me, it just tells me that your the one who doesn't get how things are and are delousional becuase your buddy who graduated with u sayd things are ok and u come on here and read my fun and games. its a mess. there is no way to wake this school or state up without hititng them where it hurts, the wallett and most here dont seem to get that. i hope u enjoy home games at the xl in later december vs ucf and fball on friday nights @ tulane. all you clownasses who don't get it will be haing a ball im sure and then come here the next day wondering where all the otehr fans were.

i have honestly had enough. we just lost a dc who was the only ONLY bright spot and he took the same job at a school who was more over the cliff then us with a HC who is young enough where its not about HC in waiting ideas. just wait for the recruits to jump around and now if u liked the dean pipeline, startin g next year i imagine who knows theres time this year even, you can kiss that goodbye also.

rant over.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Dan, you were right about the social media aspect of things much to my resistence (mea culpa). But the rest, just STFU. 10 steps ahead of who? Those who don't believe that we turned down the ACC multiple times? Please.

 

[zls44]

I'd rather have someone totally insane like HFD up there in some capacity than the sane folks they have who continue to do nothing.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

You are dissapointing me HFD. You are supposed to be our RutgersAl and tell us how everythning is going perfectly to our plan despite everyone else flipping out about the current state of affairs.

I opened this post expecting to read a message that explained how this is all part of the master plan at UConn. That this is a way for Addazio to get comfortable working with Brown as the DC for a year, and then when UConn announces that they are going to the B1G and they are firing PP in a year, that we could hire Addazzio and Brown as a package deal as our HC and DC. That we were just using BC as the JV team for our coaches this year until our B1G voyage begins. And that Addazio and Brown would be secretly recruiting all of the players for the next year for UConn even when they were supposedly BC coaches.

Are we losing our last man who still has hope for optimism now? Has the USS Connecticut mission been scrapped now?!

 

[whaler11]

Unless you are a rating household you aren't impacting the numbers so feel free to watch away knowing they get nothing from it.

As for the rest almost nobody disagrees that the coaches need to go. Here, at the games or fans of other programs. 95%+ are done with PP. The administration does not care. I do not know why they made the decision they made but they certainly know what most of us wanted.

It drives me nuts when this stuff happens, more so at UConn. It's like BC bringing back Spaz and the Chargers bringing back Norv...why? What hint, what glimmer of hope, what idea do you even remotely have that its going to improve? It's so obvious that UConn is going to go 2-10 next year, why would you bother retaining P and D? What's the point? Why put off the inevitable for a year?

The only thing I can think of is that the quality of coach that we would be able to get at this point as a replacement is not very good given our current sitatuation. If there is any chance that our conference situation will be better in a year's time, it is much easier to convince an up-and-coming coach to take a risk at UConn if we are in a 'Power 5' conference than it is with our current situation. I doubt that this is the reason, but if that were the reason, I could understand it. Otherwise, they are just delaying the inevitable and given the next coach an even deeper hole to dig out of.

10 steps....10 big steps. i'm tired of u guys not getting this joke/ref. a while back like months ago a thread was started with what warde needs to get done. the b10 wasn't ref'd as the end goal, it was just a overall theread and a certain poster posted a 10 steps thing. it went something like this...

1-fball coaching
2-bball pf
3-puck barn
4-kos contract
5-genos contract
6-marketing
7-game day changes
8-scheduling changes
9-uniforms
10-brand/logo stuff

i have been biotching about things before the kardashians made bitching cool to 8 year olds. 10 steps are the 10 things we need to do to improve uconn and get us the big wait for it TEN invite. were doing NONE of them timely if at all and its just bad news after bad news. its to the point where its silly now. just laugh and smh. a poster in the DB thread today said he just laughed at this when he saw the thread. that honestly was what i did when i saw it on twitter, i just checked it twice and then laughed. i didn't even want to come here on the dime second wise to talk about it. i just ate my ham sandwich and laughed. hes going to go up there and win 7 games next year with no talent but between him and adiz head bunting each other between plays and the new ad, they will have the place rockinga asap. they have fresh unirforms and a 50k stadium that they have struggled to fill at times, but hey they have it atleast.

@uconnsportsguy this has nothing to do with the uss connecticut, pleas excuse my rant thread from that. the overall mission of SH i believe is the b10, but i think she has greatly overlooked just how bad things ar in the ad. i think she thought a couple move and things would be good. what shes going to learn is becuase we are so new in sports. 25 years bball and 10 fball, is that our ad down to the janitor doesn't know what a big time ad looks like and how things work. and thats killing us. i mean they wash the floors with soap from dupont at michigan and texas and we get our soap from walmart or the dollar store. to that level.

@whaler11 so if i watch a uconn game my tv doesn't count as a viewer? then uconn is completely. no wonder tgers beat us for the b10 invite. there tvs count as viewers and ones in connecticut dont? relaly tho, please expalin what u are saying for me as i am not well versed in what your talking about i dont think...if watching uconn on the tv in my living room doesn't help or hurt viewers then maybe i need to find another way. go unplus the cable wire out back behind local bars? something....becuase ppl need to get it up in storrs that there is a problem.

 

[mattp]

So you're going to take your ball and go home until things turn out how you want, and you're calling us cowards? How about supporting your team rather than throwing a temper tantrum every time we don't win a championship. UConn isn't a stock that you bail on because management sucks, it's a college. Every year since I've graduated my UConn degree has gained value as the school continues to climb the national rankings. They've won 2 NCs in bball since then, 3 including the one during my senior year and they've made a BCS bowl game, all things I thought literally impossible when I first attended, so why would I turn my back on them during a rough patch? And then you wonder why SEC fans think north east football fans are a bunch of whiny, entitled fair weather fans.

You can do what you want with your time and money, I'm going to continue to root for UConn

 

[whaler11]

Dan TV ratings are based on samples of households and extrapolated into viewership. If you aren't one of the sample homes they aren't tracking what you watch.

here we go, i'm a better fan #1. get in line folks, it starts here today.
-im not going home, i'm standing ground as a fan that this is not acceptable. auburn won a ship and look what happened down there. the fans revolted so bad the school pres had to come out half way thru the seaosn and ask for support until he can clean house at the end of the year. those fans get it. thats school pres and ad get it. they make ppl on horses like u idiots and laugh at your north east ideas of how college sports are run.
-we could never win another ship the next 30 years and be syracuse sweet 16 and pitt sweet 16 and i would be thrilled every minute of it with KO. mark me down on that if u havn't already from other posts. and wtf have we ever won if fball? are u trying to call me a front runner or something? good one...
-your mixing academics and athletics becuase academic progress has been so good your looking for a excuse to find something positive thats going on the last 2 years. don't mix them becuase thats how ppl like u are blind to how ugly it is. fishy must be at home eating cake over this thread by me, prob has a hot european maid tickling his feet with her tounge and his dick with her toes as he laughs at this. he sees it, i know he does. i can read it in his posts.

 

[NYCHusky]

@huskyfandan...tv ratings are all based on averages and statistics. Companies like Nielson choose a small sample size of the U.S. population in various markets, by income, race, gender, etc. Set-top meters record what these viewers are watching. Ratings are determined by by taking these figures and multiplying across the total number of TVs in the U.S. population. Each tv in this country is not monitored one by one.

[Dann]

ok guys, thank for the tv answers. i guess i'll just put a baseball bat thru my tv and call it a day. thanks again.

 

[joey3$trike$]

how are the recruit rankings Dan Uptick! Have some faith, were small time-deal with it. 10 years old program, Win they will come. Stop complaining

 

[sdhusky]

uconn will not see a dime of my money until house is cleaned and im dam proud of aking that

Know what would freak out the powers even more?

If you stopped posting on here until the house is cleared.

Yes, I think you have to go to that step.

'm standing ground as a fan that this **** is not acceptable. auburn won a ****ing ship and look what happened down there. the fans revolted so bad the school pres had to come out half way thru the seaosn and ask for support until he can clean house at the end of the year. those fans get it. thats school pres and ad get it. they make ppl on horses like u idiots and laugh at your north east ideas of how college sports are run.

If you really think Auburn gets it? They've been about the dirtiest program in the country and that's who you want to emulate? Why not do us all a favor and root for Auburn? I'd rather our players be students, take actual courses, come here because they want to be here not because they're paid, and have a clean rap sheet. If you have a problem with that you're probably cheering for the wrong program because we'll never be that.

95%? According to President Herbst, "I wish you could see my mail and answer my phone, to get a true sense of how dedicated and upbeat our best fans are."

I guess that means 95% of Boneyarders our Connecticut's worst fans....

But arent there 14 teams in the B1G? Maybe that's why no one got your joke/ref. Add 4 more steps, and more of us will catch on...

 

[pj]

Obviously this is a huge ****-up. PP and WM had two essential offseason moves, keep Don Brown and replace GDL. They're 0 for 2.

I agree with zls that it's obvious we'll go 2-10 next year. The D will be worse, the O will be no better, and the schedule will be tougher.

If PP is worth $1.2 mn or whatever he's making, DB was worth $500k. They shouldn't lose him to another DC position. WM telling PP to change the offensive play caller rather than the OC was weak, but letting DB go without taking care of him was negligence of the highest order.

 

[CTMike]

I understand the frustration. At a time when we need drastic actions, a full court press to put UConn Athletics in the best possible light, we're doing the bare minimum. Fans need to do their part but so does our Athletic Department. It's truly amazing how many times I've thought we've hit bottom and have been totally, totally wrong. Come out swinging, Warde. Show some fight for god's sake.

 

[Dooley]

BC is trying to deliver a death blow to UConn right now. Hiring Addazzio takes away a serious contender for the UConn HC opening once Pasqualoni is fired after 2013. He has CT ties and BC sees the importance of getting back in the CT high school battleground with UConn because they usually land a few of our kids for some God awful unknown reason. Now, hiring away Brown ensures our defense will struggle next year and may result in a few UConn recruits re-opening their recruiting (see: Cory Jasudowich) and reconsider BC if the kid is committed to northeast ball. IF UConn is indeed angling for a B1G invite, it will take a while to get in (AAU invite needed first, likely). BC knows they have 2-3 seasons to try to knock UConn out for good. Fans, especially diehard fans like you HFD, who give up on the university and program(s) are exactly what will knock UConn out. BC (and other northeast schools I'm sure) are hoping that the sleeping giant UConn stays asleep for as long as possible to ensure our long marriage to the NNNNNNBE 3.0.

HuskyfanDan- I'm a proud serving member of the USS Connecticut and will be until I die (or Armageddon this Friday, whichever comes first). I know you are too. I am 100% convinced that our brilliant President is angling and positioning UConn for the B1G. I remember talking to bartenders and Michigan fans when we out to Ann Arbor a few years ago and the bartender at the Brown Jug commented that she was surprised at how many UConn fans she saw walking around Ann Arbor leading up to the game. Then Tate Forcier walked in to pick up some lunch and I joked with him to stay on the sidelines if he didn't want to get hurt by our defense. Problem is, he did, and Denard Robinson played instead and tore our defense a new balloon knot. But I digress. HFD, this is a tough day. It sucks big eagle balls that our best coach left in a lateral move to an inferior program and we're left with PP and GDL at our helm. (Excuse me: I just threw up in my mouth at the thought) But don't jump off the USS Connecticut my man. We need you and all Husky fans. Full steam ahead! Toot muthafucking toot!

its not so much i give up on the kids or the teams, its the decision makers that i want to fight in a parking lot somewhere. i really mena it. if i was walking out of the mall with presents 2moro night and i saw a person alking from there car into the mall with a sign over there head saying "i work fo the uconn ad" i would drop my and fight them to death. i kid not. i'm just extremely disgusted in every decision or non decision and the lack of anything creative.

i root for the b1gharder, ussct crew and susan becuase i think it would be great to land the aau status academics wise and the b10 would be great sports wise. but if we get that then we will get murdered unless change is made in the ad. its just a mess. i don't even know anyone in it but its painfully obvious.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Dan - I want to let you know that you saved me 5-10 minutes today from typing the same exact rant.

The only thing I disagree with you is that we turned down ACC invites.

I'm disgusted with the administration and our current situation, but if we can rally around Whitmer, Smallwood, Napier, Ollie, etc. the next couple years we may just have a shot.

Conference realignment isn't done yet. We still have a shot and the next few years are critical.

UConn needs way more HFDs - not less. Eventually, hopefully, mercifully, Warde will be out. We need more HFDs to keep morale up and to keep the ideas coming.

 

[Dooley]

My New Year's wish is for KO and Geno to get extensions and, at the very least, GDL fired. I'd also be very interested to hear how Warde plans on improving our gameday experience as he mentioned. Perhaps we'll get some hints at the Spring Game.
