Flights out of Boston are direct and very cheap right now. Very close to pulling the trigger just wish my wallet had a little more time to recover after Houston.

No kidding. I spent quite a bit of money and went mid-budget by driving and staying in decent but no high-class hotels. Well worth it. Hopefully soon my voice will recover.

It appears that Gottlieb has finally gotten over his need to knock UConn at any opportunity. Yes, he does know basketball (it would be nearly impossible to be the type of PG he was, at the level he played without having a very high understanding of the game) but he has often pulled out some schtick to justify some ridiculous prediction. Bucknell over UConn in 2011 comes to mind, but there were others.

He would have more credibility if he didn't let some petty agendas influence his commentary

What was his "petty agenda" being advanced in picking against UConn 12 years ago?

There is not, in fact, a nationwide conspiracy among members of the media to disparage Connecticut basketball.

Not sure what crawled up your downspout but.....

I never stated any conspiracy. I have however heard numerous disparaging remarks from Gottlieb towards the school the basketball program and the athletic programs in general for more than a decade and a half.
 
Actually this is kind of disrespectful. We are the national champions this game should be a home game for UConn. Another example of what we have had to overcome. How can Shaka not be playing in Texas. Kansas probably complained or it had something to do with Shaka. I mean he did coach at Texas right? What’s Kansas like 150 and 2 in their last 152 games in Allen. The more I think of this the less it makes sense.

This is absurd. Should everyone respect us, and give us 30 home games? But then how would we be prepared for adversity / hostile crowd / NCAA tourney? Think of how much the "disrespect" from the officials in January toughened this team up and prepared them for an NCAA championship.

I think it's great to get to play in Allen Fieldhouse. And don't mistake, as two "blue bloods," we and they are rivals now.

Ok we can have your opinions as I can. If the challenge becomes a yearly event let’s see how many good big 12 teams play us in conn. I don’t think we need to get 30 home games but when you start a league vs league competition, we should get to choose. Let’s see what happens when we play.
 
I hate how the cameras are on the same side as the bench for Kansas home games. For whatever reason I like seeing the bench and coaches while the game is being played

What a wild thing to get worked up about. We had a home game for the B12 challenge this year. It is supposed to alternate between home and road every year. It was our turn for a road game.

Now because of scheduling this stuff for 22 teams they do break the integrity of the home vs road if they have to, but they try not to. Saying this is a sign of disrespect is really reaching deep into a well that is born of something that I certainly want to know nothing of.

Im glad its on the road. Lets take down Kansas for our first time in a building they never lose at. Sounds like a fun challenge to me.

This is consistent with the official NCAA rule that Kansas gets to play all of its games at home. Honestly, it felt like every time I watched a highlight package for a Kansas game on ESPN or wherever this season, they were playing at home. Rules are rules.

Was reading a bit last night. I think they respect 5 titles in 6 final 4s but their whole argument revolves around how many wins the bluebloods have historically and final 4s and all the times we've failed to make the tournament. I dont really care to be honest. Winning Championships to me trumps what we did in the 40s and 50s.

They never did in the past. So that's probably good. Send a link with examples. They have more than one board.

Man I just spent 30 minutes on Phog. Those people are losing their minds that we have won 5. Pretty frickin insecure fanbase for a supposed "blueblood"
