Message: [QUOTE="KryHavok, post: 5159147, member: 12905"] So you were presumably married 60 years ago. If you and the missus are still together, happy 60th anniversary this year. I'm guessing you're somewhere in your 80's. Makes me wonder why a guy in his 80's, who isn't a fan of UConn, comes to a UConn board to spout off animus to the fans here. I further wonder, did you go to the FSU and Clemson board(s) to chide them on their vacillations about leaving the ACC with their lawsuits and subsequent tucking of their tails after their court cases fell apart and now they'll stay in the ACC? Did you go to the Utah board to lambaste those fans about how their university didn't really want to go to the Big12 and openly criticized that move this past Fall when a penalty call didn't go in their favor? How about TCU that recently said one of the aims of its AD is to get into the Big10, seems they aren't happy where they are. Did you hank, did you tell them to make up their damn minds? If not, then make up YOUR mind and don't be so biased to only hypocritically mouth off here and not there. Somehow you feel the urgent need to meander here and tell us what our problem is. We're congnizant of the situation. West Virginia may like the Big12, or at least the money they're getting, but they haven't been as successful in football since they left the Big East where they had four 11-win seasons. Same applies to Syracuse (for BBall and football). Some of their fans may miss what they had before, and I've read the sentiments that a few Syracuse fans have wrote that backup what I'm saying. There's no shame that some of our fanbase want to stay in the Big East, as those "glory days" were kind for both BBall and football. Us fans who can see the forest for the trees know that the current Big East is not the permanent solution. If the phone rings and it's a P4 calling for an invite, the decision to say yes is likely made before the caller has a chance to say anything beyond "We'd like to invite you". We don't need to make up our minds, and don't be a prat about this. The only mind that needs to be made up is that of whatever commissioner has the cajones to invite us. Regardless of that, it seems this board may rightly conclude that you will never be happy if anything good happens with UConn. You are free to be miserable on some other site, though I would sincerely hope that at your age, you want to enjoy what's good in life. [/QUOTE]
