NC St #1?

As has been discussed - it claims unanimous No. 1 team in the country - considering Oregon also received first place votes - that seems at best a stretch.

BTW - lots of people are laughing about this around the country

Very people actually really care enough to laugh. How many people actually know that this happened? A few thousand?

How would you know what people are doing around the country? Like I said most people don't care.
 
As for South Carolina's banner, it does not represent the winning of a championship. If dawn wants to "honor' her team for having almost nearly certainly winning the championship that is her right. That team was a fine team for sure. Many years ago James Harrison was cut three times before finally landing a spot on a pro football roster. He worked hard and ended up with the longest scoring play in a Super Bowl when he scored on a 100 yard interception and the Pittsburgh Steelers won their sixth true championship. Several years later his sons came home with trophies for having played on a football team that was quite good, but not a championship team. James was criticized for sending the trophies back and saying that when they won they could keep the trophy. But not for "participating'. Guess standards vary from place to place and time to time.

Needless to say. This year is wide open. No one is without their faults. Whether it's the new world of COVID or just no dominant team. Yet I suspect we are probably facing the best team in the country tomorrow.
 
I can see the pro banner points. If UConn had any more room in the rafters, they could put up a 12 consecutive Final Fours banner or 26 consecutive years of Sweet 16 or better. Just too many All American and National Championship banners in the rafters already to fit anymore.

I have one question for South Carolina fans-if any other school did this, would you be as supportive of it?

And btw, 99.9% of the SC fans would CRUCIFY other programs if they did this. They're generally a vile bunch on Twitter.

I honestly don’t care what other people do in their arenas. I honestly wouldn’t care if Oregon put a banner in the rafters. I honestly don’t even care about the banner we just hang, so I’m not sure why other fans are obsessed with it. What the Ducks (or any program) do in their arena is not my concern, it’s for their fans/program.

You can choose whether to believe that or not, but since you asked.. I answered.
 
Thank you for your answer, I respect it, and was just curious. But I have a feeling the majority, based on personal experience, would not be nearly as mature and thoughtful as you are/were.

I don't care about the banner, either. I think it's funny, but I also think it's smart. EVERYTHING Dawn does is for a recruiting advantage, and to me, this is just another example of it. Kids, especially Gen Z kids, will eat this right up.
 
SC can do whatever they want relative to hanging banners in Columbia. If anyone should object, it really shouldn’t be us, the fans of UConn WBB. Perhaps Oregon or Baylor fans have a legitimate beef, but that is for them to express.

As for UConn’s position on hanging banners or other trophies that the team hasn’t earned on the court, my sentiment is embodied by UConn’s celebrations through the years at their 18 Regional Championships when the Huskies don’t cut down the nets in celebration. The simple message whenever UConn WBB wins a Regional Championship is that, “Our work isn’t done yet.”

I personally think it's great to celebrate your program and players like how SC has as long as it doesn't come at the expense of other programs. Raising a banner to celebrate a season finishing #1 in the polls I dont see any harm in. That takes nothing away from anyone else. I say props to Dawn/the administration for celebrating the success of their best team in program history. Other programs raise banners for Final Fours and other accomplishments that aren't national championships.

I do have a problem with Dawn claiming they deserved the NC trophy or alluding to that back in March or April. They didn't earn a championship since the tournament wasn't played, and they have a greater stake to be handed the title over any other team. But if we're talking banner only, I dont see any qualms with it.

So who is number one now? Lville lost, NC State Lost UCLA lost and its SC and UCOnn tomorrow nite.

Well imo the game tomorrow nite showcases the 2 top teams in WCBB and right now the way everybody is playing these are the 2 top teams. To many top teams are loosing and struggling against lesser opponents. UConn isnt. Either way the winner and loser tomorrow nite are 1 and 2 in the rankings.
 
Back to the title and subject of this thread - North Carolina State. The only team they have beaten in their last three games is Louseyville. What does that tell you about both teams?

It's not about the banner. If Dawn didn't come out saying they should be National Champions nobody would care about the banner.
 
California Baptist Lancers (16-0)

They have three maybe four tough games left. A home and home against the light blue team from Chapel Hill... a trip to Winston Salem to face off against a feisty, pesky, rival in Wake Forest. The last game of the season is a trip to face a talented yet enigmatic Syracuse squad.

Remember this. Two years ago... State started 21-0... and went to Chapel Hill and got beat. Last year they started 14-0... played CH... and got beat. Their opponent on Sunday..... you guessed it. Throw out the record books when its Flagship vs Land Grant..... especially when those schools are in the same neighborhood.

But it is about the banner, because that person SPECIFICALLY asked about the banner, so I responded regarding the banner.

My response isn’t about what Dawn said back then. My response is about the banner.
 
Oh please will can we UConn fans ever get over a damn banner? Who cares? It's not like Geno was required to put the banner up in Storrs. It's not like UConn players have to genuflect to it. This is all some real silly spit.

For me it was about Dawn trying to claim the National Championship. If she didn't open her mouth about that. The banner might have been a mute point. But then again it wasn't the last poll either so l could care less who it was but Oregon or Baylor might have. So on my last point maybe the banner wasn't a proper thing to do.

You mean if she'd been mute, the point would've been moot?

The banner would have been a mute point. Meaning the banner would have been a speechless topic. Meaning it wouldn't of been talked about.
