Mojo time! Hanging Nomination thread link

“We can’t take transfers because that would mean we failed.” Hang him.
 
I've had some hang worthy posts so I'll just sit back and watch the witch hunt: like that joke of a guy who tried to catch the Bartman ball, whiffed on it, and then proceeded to trip the gallows for old Stevie with his own unathletic, goofy hand.

Navery's dislike button. Got a bunch of those for calling out our PG problem early. Or saying anything negative about Andre.

Not enough of a notable poster to deliver the requisite mojo but not a bad recommendation.

We did string up Fishy once. I don't remember if that was 2003 or 2004. Either way, I'm not sure we should be going back to the same well.

I’m inclined to agree absent, some glaring and egregious breach of conduct, I think we treat the “Hangees” as “already dead” For the purposes of mojo.

Do they get to come back with impunity and post against interest in perpetuity?

Must we abide?

Or is this the opportunity to leverage some anti-mojo mojo with arrogant & spoiled OG malcontents wandering like zombies, telling us we wouldn't even exist if not for them, eternally doomed to emphasize their personalities over eternal principles, confused as to whether they are the wave or the water, battling as ego in the midst of the WE season.

Perhaps they EACH wear a Cooley scrotum badge of dishonor. Let them be counted.

This team of Vader-like tragic figures is pitiable or powerful. Let's make it the latter.

It is a collective responsibility for 'the rest of us' to help them down from their rickety ladder and into a circle of support, doing our best to bring UConn a National Championship without the instantly identifiable alpha, but instead as the smashmouth machine that builds as a team the insurmountable lead, and then plays smart as the clock ticks toward victory.

We win with what and who we have, without whinging and whining and wishing beyond the bounds of reality.

When we say, "Let's go Huskies," it refers to US!
Let. Us. Do. It.

I don’t know about that, but they do come back with immunity, of a sort, barring an egregious infraction that I’m not seeing here.

Same thing with the BY, some fans are good some are bad. I much prefer the BY. But I also use Twitter and hop on the Spaces to share my opinions, and call out the idiots for being idiots.

College kid, no concept of money or the real world. He also asked me why I was wearing a “Gay” jersey. Teaching children who Rudy Gay is at MSG (to a UConn student) made me want to dig my eyes out with a fork.

Just ketchup. Thankfully the guy didn’t get much on him. I was so embarrassed.

That may not be the point this year. The worst offenders (Yes, they're here) haven't got the gravitas to make their hanging worthwhile.

If there's any merit to @temery's suggestion that times have changed, or any strength in @Deepster's disruptive pronouncements on the same theme last year, then we could be in a Boeheim-like situation, but with an opportunity here to give stale legends their proper, respectful due. In other words, maybe we don't need no steenkin' mojo sammiches...commies or not.

A sizeable cadre-like cohort of cantankerous curmudgeons seems hell-bent on pushing the 'we suck & can't do it' canard, desperate to protect falsely-claimed turf, as though it can only be expanded by their loss of any claim to it. But all things must pass. Everything changes, and that's a fact. Sometimes all ya can do is ride the bull.

FACT: This is a National Championship caliber team that needs all the help it can possibly get.

Some folks are quaking in their boots about the 13-seed.

Others are looking ahead to the 12-seed.

Some people are laughing about, predicting, and cheering for an early upset, as though only an excruciating loss can provide a big enough rush to twist itself into the illusion of feeling good about feeling bad. Sometimes falling feels like flying...for a little while.

I haven't looked today, but hope that nobody's still driving full-speed while looking in the rear view mirror, decrying the seeding, the opponents, the brackets, or the locations. I'm willing to make my first bet of the year: they are what they are.

Leave aside your hurry to get to the, "I knew it" - "We were right" celebration.

We're in a Debbie Downer vs. Pollyanna Death Match, when neither label is true, and it's a dubious luxury when from here on out it's one and done, renewable every single game.

This team CAN win it all.
This this will ONLY win playing as a team.
Be a teammate.

That's one reason I didn't suggest myself, since Kansas is in our bracket I might have been a reasonable choice. But I was hung once before on the same charge and it didn't end well.
 
I too would volunteer but the amount of mojo I would generate would not be enough to bet CCSU in any sport. As I have said before I have been a UConn fan since the 1960's and have been to many men's and women's tournament games, but just don't post enough here to have created any type of animus.

He's in NYC. They play Hofstra, Manhattan, St. Peters etc. Probably easy games to get to. It's really amazing how geographically solid the MAAC is.

I know.

Grasping at straws to find someone worthy. Not saying he is deserving. But his stature on the Yard is certainly a mighty offering.
 
Let's just pick eight people worthy of the honor in true Boneyard fashion and have a bracket to determine who gets hanged.

And now with the Snore who Ignores adding post 54, I'm adding a bit more to the whiteboard.

@Deepster, @Fishy, and @August_West are all hanging veterans, and they can also team well with @temery bring a service initiative to fruition, akin to a Delta House-like frat taking on some dogooder thing to escape being banned.

AVATARS OF IGNOMINY

Deepster already has the badge of Cooley's bag, and he continues to demonstrate his iron-strong will to take a dump on any attempts to shake his I me me mine claim on the mojo.

Fishy gets Boeheim on his Senhor, in thanks for his part in what makes SyracuseFan.com such a familiar user experience for a visitor to delight in.

Augie's bragging about going to Albany with a snarky white sweatshirt that begs for somebody to dip a wiener in ketchup and tag his tog with a bright red A, begs the question of whether it's good or bad mojo for him to get Slick Rick's mug on his sack, as neither Ewing nor Anderson really merit inclusion? Is there a better choice?

And is there a comparable 4th Avatar of the Formerly Hung?

Is there anything more for these retread reprobate to do than wear their badge, affirm their allegiance in word & deed to the good guys, and raise money for a good cause?

Do Worthy Patterson and Fred Shabel play a part in any of this? Clock's ticking...

I had to apologize to a Marquette couple after the game because some idiot behind me chucked a hotdog at her husband.

We beat Providence then we resort to being Providence by throwing things and acting like fools.

They're out there. Walking the streets after the Marquette loss, Hurley Haters were screaming he had to go, we're never going to win anything with him.

MSG seems especially bad. In the Ollie years there were fans screaming (and swearing) at our team all game long, at one point one of them screaming at Jalen Adams to pick up @#!@@# ball, when Jalen was trying to save time on the clock by letting the ball roll up the court.

So damn bizarre, why do they waste their money going to games?

I love to interact with other fans, they're just cheering their team on like we are. Have fun, enjoy the ride, and act like you've been there before

Go Huskies, destroy Iona, WE ARE UCONN
 
I nominate Fizzle, keep him off these boards for three weeks

Reading this thread, I'm thinking he might be a UConn twitter type of guy

Aside from maybe the limerick guy, this one might have the most legs...

@Hey Adrien! you're awesome, but I'm thinking you might need a gentle reminder who runs NYC...keep the scouting reports going but maybe a few hundred lines on the chalkboard of "insert Mojo punishment here" (I'm not clever enough to fill in the blank...) to really hammer it home

Lol, It’s the nomination thread. It should look like a bunch of chimps throwing poo up against the wall. A few will stick.

I expect that the trial will start soon enough.
