Newsflash....Nobody gives a crap if you think games are "boring, pathetic, embarrassing"...

[Zorro]

Yup. Until ol buddy Mike comes through with our first shipment of dvds, we have to use our imaginations. Sort of like the old days of "The Old Scotchman", but without the sound effects. yuk

3. My statement that players LOVE games is based on 15 years of playing sports and 30 years of coaching up through college level. Maybe some prefer practice, never ever met one.

We talking 'bout practice.

vtc...I welcome your opinion and accept that others have different opinions. My opinion is that it is sad when games are called "boring, pathetic, embarrassing and counter productive." Why do you not accept that? In addition:
1. I meant to be harsh, just not "too harsh."
2. I didn't "misconstrue" comments as negative, they were negative.
3. My statement that players LOVE games is based on 15 years of playing sports and 30 years of coaching up through college level. Maybe some prefer practice, never ever met one.
4. I think the player giving high fives after 3's is a volunteer, not "relegated."
5. I'm delighted I "crack you up." Drinks on me at the NC tournament.
6. Yes, guilty of loving and defending "our girls"....and I do reside in the "peanut gallery."
7. I'm not on staff or member of the team, but I drank a bottle of Geno's wine...does that count?
Go Huskies..!!

I believe that you misconstrued the comments as criticism of UConn when they were not. I read your comment that you found it sad that someone else might find a 50 point trouncing boring. Sad? Did you see the games? I find it a little odd that the opinion of some anonymous message board posters could make you sad. Why? If I can accept that you love "your girls" why is it so difficult to accept that for some of us they are total strangers that we support simply because they play great basketball.

Yesterday I broke a special coffee cup that I've had for more than 40 years. I carried it on 4 oceans, a half dozen ships and a million mid-watches. Now that was sad.

You're responding like he was posting specifically about you.

There were several posters criticizing UConn for playing these games. There were several that implied that UConn can just change these games.

There are two definitions of sad. I believe he meant this one.

"pathetically inadequate or unfashionable."
