Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4560130, member: 181"] I'm remembering your recent, "I've been screaming this all year" post about the OOC, and a comment that pushed back by criticizing your repetitiveness. I was tempted to add that sometimes people are turned off by "screaming," in addition to repetitiveness. I had a couple of other snarky things to add, but decided that it wouldn't really add to the overall discussion. I'm glad I held off. Your comment that I've quoted above lines up well with what I wanted to convey. Why? Because it has substance and particulars. A home & home with a former Big East rival and/or an Ivy opponent actually sound like attractive games for hosting or visiting. I have some similar thoughts about other CT D-1 schools, one-time Yankee Conference foes. I sense that they could be good draws and, judiciously-chose, improve the SOS, and leave room for an HBCU and a game or two during which there'd still be room to try stuff out. I don't know if my ideas are plausible or why they wouldn't be if not. That's not my main point. I'm more interested in conveying that up until now, I read your comments as a combination of incessant whining without helpful information and after-the-fact "told you so" boasting. Those would be reason enough for many to tune you out. If you're smart enough to know how things could be better scheduled, you ought to be smart enough to give this constructive criticism a fair reading and consideration. [/QUOTE]
