Must-read Article From Matt Norlander (game stuff, KO/WM stuff, future UC-SU game stuff)

"East coast Gonzaga" is more or less where I predicted we'd end up once it became obvious we were the red-headed step-child in the conference realignment process.

I really hope WM is just putting on a cheery public face and is actually working his portly *ss off behind the scenes to make something happen with the Big 10.

i threw up a little in my mouth when i read the East coast Gonzaga crap

Almost the entire upper section opposite the students was empty.

Yup, and the upper tiers of the baseline uppers were scattered as well. I guessed 14,000 to my buddy in the first half (I was in section 219 and it was packed).

I'm not sure what you expect him to say. He has to say we are committed to the conference we're in for the long term and fans should get used to it.

Now, that doesn't mean he's got some super secret plan. He may be sincere. But those words don't have to be so, because they are essentially mandatory words. Maryland was super committed to the ACC until they weren't, right?

Doesn't matter what others think of us, as long as we win they'll keep talking about us.

I'm glad other people have mentioned the misrepresented attendance last night. No way there were 3k open seats, no way there were less people there than Louisville.

I talked to a vendor who has worked at the civic center for 10+ years. He said the Cuse game was by far the busiest game of the year blowing past the Ville game.

Said he expects mondays, baylor, game to be the busiest game this year. He also told me he is surprised the women have drawn so well this year since they raised ticket prices and most games are over by half time.

Almost the entire upper section opposite the students was empty.

Ah, I couldn't really see that area, as my seats were literally above the ceiling.

The BE can bite me. I think WM should be saying "We are your best remaining team and instead of giving us a reason to look fondly on your dying carcass you bane us from the last BET where you are whole"? " You don't think UCONN making a statement in the BET is helpful to what is left of your once mighty conference"?

They are a joke - the NCAA is a joke and UCONN has not given fans a whole lot of reason to be confident they are doing the right thing.

Warde didn't say East Coast Gonzaga...Norlander did.

When did everyone fail reading comprehension?

yes I know! Norlander is out of touch and Warde needs to stay off the Twinkies!!

For your information I got the top score during my senior in high school for reading comprehension!

i hear ya. i guess 2moro i have to give my warde bashing a day off becuase hes done back to back good things this week. foam fingers last nigth and next week hes going to have uconn tshirts at the womens game. they may be pink buts its a solid effort for what the cause is...

add a point to the warde vs hfd score board for warde. nice job witht he pink as rumored to be happening...

 

[BoatShow]

Yes, there are 16294 pink shirts waiting in the XLC right now.

Mostly every poster has said this comment and now I'm going to be the next one to say it.

"Guess we gotta win the whole freakin' thing!"

Shalala is a great pick for these political times. I do love theNCAAs definition of corroborated though. I got a buck says Big Bill or Obama come out with a statement on this
