I apologize for not making the crux of my post above clear. I don’t have a problem with stwainfan’s post. I prefaced my question by acknowledging that this sub forum was created for non-UConn posts of this nature. My question was actually a “below the belt” jab at the Volunteers message boards. Given their hate and vitriol for everything UConn, I was trying to illicit some thoughts of others. We welcome posts like this, while VN would run you off of the board, and the mods would probably delete it.
I’m not a mod or a gate keeper. I’m just a regular visitor. Fact is I always enjoy reading the thoughts and concerns of posters from other programs, whether it be about UConn or their favorite team.
I simply wondered out loud to anyone that read my comment, how they thought a UConn post similar to this one would be perceived on the Vol Nation board given their bitter/scathing thoughts and feelings about Geno and UConn. It was a knee-jerk reaction to reading that post.
The creation of this general "catch all" forum was ingenious. It fills a critical need here in the yard. It's a place where fans from all over the country can now come and share their thoughts and concerns with other WCBB fans about their favorite team without fear of ridicule or rebuke. Some non-UConn fans were beginning to get a little out of control with their "home team" posts and drum beating which was beginning to annoy the locals.
There are two types of teams I'm interested in knowing as much as I can about every year. First is the top 6 ranked teams in the country. These are the teams UConn will have to contend with for a #1 seed in the tournament each year. The other teams are those on UConn's schedule that year. This year, I'm interested in Baylor, Notre Dame, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Cal, Tennessee, etc.
Until I read the subsequent comments posted in reference to it, I had no idea my comment would be perceived in the manner it was. I’ll try and do better next time.
