Mojo time! Hanging Nomination thread link

[Giddyup5]

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.

 

[shizzle787]

Let's just pick eight people worthy of the honor in true Boneyard fashion and have a bracket to determine who gets hanged.

 

[Deepster]

Like watching a bunch of monkeys trying to fack a football.

[Hans Sprungfeld]

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.

Phew

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

 

[willie99]

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

 

[huskiesNhoos]

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…

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

 

[CL82]

That's the vibe I'm getting

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.

@prankster

I'm trying but I can't think of anybody that jumps out.

 

[Sibeerian]

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.

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.

 

[August_West]

I think all the math geeks should only be allowed to post in numbers for the duration of tournament.

 

[CL82]

Trust the process.

 

[CTBasketball]

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.

 

[PlayItLeo]

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.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

An execution in absentia would be a unique approach.

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.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

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.

 

[August_West]

I mean isnt that what a hanging is anyway?

We did that the year we hung CTO.

A devastatingly bad move.

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.

 

[CL82]

No, it’s UConn fans separating a single calf from the herd and falling on it unmercifully. It’s a beautiful thing in a Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom kind of way.
