Message: [QUOTE="Iluvsuebird, post: 5061968, member: 12567"] I am going to sound mean, and I feel badly about that. But listening to the Big 12-Uconn Locked On episode put me over the edge. Zanetto should not be representing UConn on anything. Nothing. This gentleman is not eloquent, he cannot think on his feet, and he cannot discuss anything that is not pre-written for him. He may or may not be right about the conference alignment. I do not know one way or another. But either way, his view on the potential move is embarrassing, specially coming from a so called UConn fan. On the The Big 12 being a better basketball conference than the Big East: A point that was salient throughout the pod, and never refuted by Zanetto. Are they better now than 10 years ago? Sure they are. But to say that they are a better basketball conference than the Big East is absolute crap. Zanetto was waxing poetic about how physical that conference is. And he even alluded that the conference's physicality as the reason they all got waxed last year in the tournament. I almost crashed my car when I heard that nonsense, considering that the Big East is the WWE of college basketball. Listen, if the Big East has anything, is a glorious basketball history. We all know that. Any true fan should have stood up for that history, because UConn helped build it. On whether UConn would benefit from realignment: Past is prologue. We all saw what happened when we left the Big East years ago. We went after football money, and sacrificed basketball in the process. Zanetto meagerly alluded to this fact, w/out ever mentioning the our true identify is anchored in basketball, not football. It was so gross, I asked myself if Zanetto is getting paid to start all this s---. A move to the Big 12 may represent more money. I really dont know about that. But a move to the Big 12 will mean leaving the place we call HOME. The glorious Big East. I do not want UConn to sacrifice basketball ever again. On Duke teaming up with UConn to join the Big 12: He brought this up in his pod, months ago. The idea that Duke needs UConn to merge with anyone is laughable. I hate that darn school, but the fact is that they are one of the top collegiate brands in America. Duke is to basketball branding what ND, Michigan., Ohio St., and Alabama are to football. Stop saying stupid s--- please. Duke is the reason ESPN has the ACC contract. They don't need us Zanetto. And we do not need them. On HIS FANS: A couple of times he referred to "HIS FANS" when talking about his audience. Zanetto, you are literally the last Pepsi in the dessert this time of year. There is nothing else. If we had a few more pods to choose from, you would have no audience. We are not YOUR fans. We are UConn fans starving for content and dying for November to arrive. Get that straight. Please just stick to yawning and reading scouting reports drafted by other sources. You do not speak for UConn fans. [/QUOTE]
