Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2786494, member: 1646"] I try not to make my takes too hot. Not because I'm afraid to put my opinion out there, but I don't think it's helpful for our program to be too negative. My worst hot takes on this board are when I would go in a chat room during games. I tend to give up quickly and declare the team to be trash. It's even worse in my house. My family tends to prefer that I watch alone. My worst Boneyard hot take was following the UConn women's opening game loss in overtime at Stanford a few years back. I thought they looked pretty pedestrian and said that the team would lose a number of games. Pretty sure they went on to win 111 in a row after that. I couldn't post the quote here because I couldn't find it in a search. Maybe it's old enough that it's gone, in which case I'm making this up and would NEVER doubt Geno! Prove me wrong! My "best" hot take, I guess, would be after the 2016 / 2017 basketball season where I said: "Perception is reality with basketball recruits. You don't typically come back from where KO is right now. Maybe PJ Carlissimo at Seton Hall? I have to assume we'll be looking at a new staff after this season. It could change, but I think the train is heading into the station." Not a Nostradamus moment, but I felt there was no way Ollie could come back from the position he and/or the transfers put him in. [/QUOTE]
