Mojo time! Hanging Nomination thread link

I nominate ChatGPT for hanging.

The AI would probably defend itself in interesting ways when we tried to explain what was happening and why. High entertainment potential here. I'm happy to be the mediator, though anyone can do it. Hey, maybe we'll break it, like Captain Kirk talking a robot into self-destructing.

I love the guy. But @Hey Adrien! just said this.

“I've watched Iona live this year more than UConn (3x vs 1x), so it was nice writing today's preview more from my eyes than the statsheet. Enjoy!”

Just saying…

Nominate someone just due to locational logistics and the fact that they simply enjoy going to live games is a weak take, IMO ;)

I vote against antagonizing Skynet.
 
We went over this last year, most of my hanging nominations are all Twitter people. There’s just a few that strike me the wrong way, bad fans. You could say the same thing about a few on here, but we do a good job of smiting the idiots here. Don’t be fooled idiots, we know you’re here too. To summarize 95% of UConn fans are generally happy people, with good hearts. 5% are idiots (50% of the idiots reside on the BY and 50% of the idiots reside on Twitter). I’m not naming names.

Although on second thought, and to comment on @August_West ’s post, I second that we hang the math geeks. All of them. Mass murder. Mass hanging like in the Golden Age of Piracy. Your KenPom and NET trumpets got us a 4 seed. Yay. Thank god we were 7th in the country in effective FG% when the moon shines half bright v. Top 25 defenses who wear red uniforms.

I’ll generate a list.

I'm down for UConn Twitter. Just an obnoxious, poor representation of our fanbase that lives in its own permanently online circle-'j'... I mean "echo chamber".

Hanging someone who’s not actually on The Boneyard seems pointless to me, but I’ll go with whatever is decided.

I like it. I consider most of them excellent posters and they have value in their analysis. But that is sacrifice the gods require. A lesson must be taught. THe mojo gods scoff at metrics. The mojo gods don't see numbers. They only see trophies.

We’d have to launch an active campaign against them on Twitter. It’s doable, I guess, but UConn fans brawling UConn fans doesn’t seem like good mojo to me.

We absolutely don't want that.

It would be a bad look. Benedict likes some of them and they've done some positive things, including Briele and husky ticket project. Infighting isn't the way to generate mojo. The hanged has to accept the sacrifice for the mojo.

We did that the year we hung CTO.

A devastatingly bad move.

Well, to be honest, it wasn’t intended to be in abstentia, but Joyce ran for the safety of the woman’s board, and was never heard from again. The former judge had some good calls back in the day, but that one was a swing in a miss. Funny in retrospect though.

Most of the guys on Twitter are great fans, some donate a lot. Hell, D’Amelio paid for mine and 250 other Husky fans bar-tabs on Friday night. Just like on here, good things can be done by great fans.

But I triple vote we hang the BY math geeks. Claiming we go undefeated, best metrics, etc. Fools gold. Treason.

So name some names.

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.

Thank you for apologizing on our behalf. I’m glad you spoke up.

I still love the fact that someone approached her in (Worcester, I believe) with a "Shoo Shoo Orange Flu" t-shirt on. And I will die on the hill it would have been effective had the Yard trusted the process.

Wasn’t the sentence for people to reply "Shoo Shoo Orange Flu" when she posted. She never posted again.

The more the victim hates the sentence and squirms and fights it, the better the Mojo. Of course, you wouldn't realize that from this thread debating on whether to hang Fishy (again).

The only redeeming moment. The process couldnt be trusted. She ghosted.

Yeah, she didn’t squirm or fight it. She just went away. That’s why it failed, but it’s not a big deal you took a swing and you missed on that one. It’s all good Deep. Just relax and enjoy your retirement.

And Syracuse never won another title since she ran from her sentence and angered the Mojo gods. Feel free to use the title "The Shoo Shoo Orange Flu Curse" whenever you'd like.

So after preliminary review, here are a list of names that routinely mention KenPom, NET, Sagarin, Torvik, etc. The list is long so we need to down select or we’ll run out of rope.

Ranked from high to low, highest on the list loves metrics. I can find proof later if need be:

1. @auror
2. @BFieldHusky
3. @tzznandrew
4. @DaveHuskiesFan
5. @Sportsman5
6. @Hey Adrien! (sorry pal)
7. @husky429
8. @JustbrewitMan
9. @ToolzieFan
10. @Mazhude
11. @firstnline
12. @HobokenHusky
13. @AD DB Burner
14. @Drfla
15. @HooperScooper
16. @Palatine
17. @87Xfer
18. @SoFla Steve

I submit these names for consideration.

Wait until you realize Hurley is a devout analytics math nerd and runs his offense and defense based on it. Add him to the list.
