I mean no offense to you personally, but I hate this sentiment that there is always something “more” needed by UConn, particularly from the basketball teams. Nobody has ever been held to this standard.
Exactly. The more is always an excuse to pick someone else. Hard to reach the final 4 every year
It is not up to the hoops programs or any of our other sports. It is up to our AD to make this happen. We have a great outspoken football coach. Our Men's and Women's Hoops Programs and Coaches don't need to say a word as the actions and history are beyond the highest bar. The quiet front is our AD office. I am fine with this if things are happening behind the scenes. The UConn Train is rolling and has major sTeam
None taken. I share your distaste. And while not directly stated, I was not suggesting more is needed, simply acknowledging the "what have you done for me lately" attitude of the LCD sports fan and, unfortunately, knucklehead B12 ADs and presidents.
They have to close rank internally. No leaks to glory hound Podcaster types.
I am more worried about UConn Big East apologists trying to sabotage UConn moving to another conference.
My criteria is they are key if I like what they say, otherwise non-key.
Like I said, keep it under wraps til it's a done deal. AD, President, and a few key stakeholders I would say.
^^^ THISSSSSSSSSS!!!! I'll never understand the "basketball only" fans, but there are a lot of them and they don't understand why football and basketball need each other...
Board of Trustees, President, AD, whichever university attorney must be in loop.
Really is bizarre. Even At duke and Kansas they wouldnt sacrifice football.
A few years ago, we would have jumped at the chance to be AAC for football only, so turning down the P12does make you wonder if the B12 talks may be progressing behind scenes. I would not be shocked to hear the B12 invite is coming the first half if this year. Yes, I may be delusional.
They both moved on.
I think they are referring more towards the commentary during the last round of Big XII reporting where you had high profile folks including the state speaker of the house, US Senators, etc, positing that UConn needs to stay in the Big East, vs taking a Big XII invite for non-football (with an alleged phase in for football membership).
Just one idiot, apparently.
Yeah, it’s either good enough now or it isn’t. Should the men not win a third in a row, that shouldn’t discount the program.
If & when Geno decides to retire, AD Dave's first call should be to Diana Taurasi. There is a list of former players who would make viable candidates. In no particular order: Taurasi, Sue Bird, Carla Berube, Jen Rizzoti. That position will be filled 5 seconds after Geno signs the retirement papers.
When you're on the outside looking in the need keep proving yourself doesn't end until you're in. I get the pride thing, but that's the unfortunate truth of the matter. Then the equation changes. We can also see clearly that the parasites on the inside have to prove nothing.
Not Shea?
