Our Next Tight Game

[bigknight3]

If this team loses @Xavier I’m never going to a UConn game again lol. I’m 0-11 and starting to think I jinx the team. It seemed like they lost every year when playing the Bearcats other than years I wasn’t able to be there. I’ve even traveled to away games at Memphis and Ohio State. This will be my first game since pre-Covid days and I’ll be cheering loud so I’m hoping to break this streak!

Hand your tickets over to someone else who gets the job done. We play team ball here!

Before we lock threads for going off the rails can we start a new tradition of added a count of how many fights took place between people that started joined the 'yard in the last month and people with accounts from over a decade ago.

It'd be an interesting metric to follow throughout this exciting season!

Butler certainly won’t be any louder than Florida. You think they’re much better?

Do disrespect to Butler but we haven’t had a moment of doubt in a single game yet, against much better teams

Butler has much better fans than Florida in general (football front-runner fans), historic building with better atmosphere. Florida didn't even sell out against a top 5 team.

Also Saturday night vs. Wednesday night (which may have had something to do with lack of sell out). Should have some loud, inebriated Indianans.

And we're more established now as juggernauts this week than last week.

Butler away and first conference game may not be as easy as most think.

Then again, it might.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Then again, it might.

Either way.

If coaches and players take the opponent & game seriously, things should go well. I don't mind taking the opponent seriously as well.

In a year like this, new interest in UConn basketball will be sparked. Veteran posters can be welcoming and generous in helping newcomers onboard to this special place. It's prudent to recognize that not everybody who signs up and posts is a fan or friend of the program.

By tone & temperment, you provide a most curious presence new presence on The Boneyard.

YEAH, IT’S CALLED ‘A FEMALE’ HAIKU. LOOK IT UP.

By the simple fact of lacking experience with certain board conventions, in-jokes, and such, you have some fully expectable knowledge gaps.

IF BY ‘KNOWLEDGE GAPS’ YOU MEAN FALLING IN WITH YOUR GEEK LINGO, YOU CAN FORGET IT. I DON’T WANT THAT KNOWLEDGE. YOU GUYS MAKES TREKKIES TURN AWAY IN SHAME.
In itself, that's nothing that can't be accommodated and absorbed into the flow of this community. However,

UT OH, SOUNDS LIKE THERE’S SOME RULES REQUIRED. LETS SEE WHAT THE HE-MAN’S CLUB SELF ANNOINTED PRESIDENT HAS IN MIND…

you have already displayed an argumentative self-certainty in areas where you lack knowledge that others have,

HAVE I STUMBLED UPON SOME WACKED OUT FREEMASON’S SOCIETY BRANCH? WHAT KIND OF SECRET KNOWLEDGE COULD I BE MISSING ABOUT COLLEGE HOOPS? AM I GOING TO NEED A HOOD FOR THIS OR A BURKA? HOPEFULLY HAIKU WILL EXPOUND…


and you have combined this with a combative or disinterested stance toward others' efforts to inform and help you.

HELP ME WITH WHAT? IF SOME KIND OF BEHAVIORAL BOOT OR SURVIVAL CAMP IS INVOLVED - YOU CAN FORGET IT. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT…

I'm gonna make the call: not a cat.

WHAT GAVE IT AWAY YOGI MASTER? WAS IT THE FACT THAT I
DISCLOSED IT? I COULD SENSE YOU FELT THREATENED PRIOR BY THE POMPOUS JUDGEMENT YOU DISPLAYED. I KNOW ALREADY YOUR THE ONE AT THE HELM OF THE HE-MAN CLUB’S SHIP TO NOWHERE.

Well then

So who's your team?

UM, I ALREADY SAID THAT THEY WILL GO REGULAR SEASON UNDEFEATED. AND IT SHOOK THIS BOARD TO IT’S CORE.
GET A GRIP FELLAS!!!

Your inside jokes are showing and they aren’t very flattering for ya haiku.

Actually, it's my epidermis.

I look forward to your return here in April to say, "I told you so," if the team completes its season undefeated. I'll be grateful for your contribution to the mojo and my enjoyment of having watched it one game at a time.

We've reached ignore territory...

They have to want to be welcomed or helped on board.

I'd say it's more than no team's performance is uniform across the season and even the best UConn teams have lost games they should not have.

 

[BIIIG]

This board can be very clique based, and when you are new ppl tend to ignore your points. I know how that feels. For that reason, I'd like to extend an offer to @Hype Cat to make an alliance. Do you accept?

 

[BlueMAB]

Very obvious troll.

 

[HuskyNan]

What makes you think I’m a guy Spudz? Is there 1 female on this board or do they get lost in the morass of metrics, statistics and prognostication?

Wait, what?

 

[RedStickHusky]

Wait, what?

Let her go, she's on a roll.

 

[TerryBoyz]

The team knows literally any team in the BE can get up for a single game, so I trust they'll prepare for any opponent with the expectation that it will be close.

1994-95 team ranked #1 loses to #15 Villanova at GAMPEL 96-73. Was at that game it is was depressing.

Got blown out in the BET championship game by them as well, 94-78.

15-0 and blown out at Kansas when we should have ascended to #1.

Okay but I’m just not seeing why people are circling the Butler game in particular as some scary game. I’m not sure people are appreciating just how dominant we have been. Maybe I’m just seeing too much 2009 in this team

Because it’s not a simulation? It’s a road game in a hostile environment against a game, well-coached team. Maybe they will in fact blow them out but I have a harder time understanding the people who can’t fathom that this might be a tough game.

Because good even dominant teams can lose games. Typically conference opponents are another level in terms of competition.

throat punching, extraordinaire!



rock on.

this is a great tune. when i came here, i posted it a few times and noticed that it had only a few million hits. now, its way past 50 million. looks like the world caught up. twas ever thus.

I'll be the only one to stick my neck out in saying they will go undefeated. Creighton away is their only threat. It's the plane ride. As soon as someone is having an off night Hurley will replace them. It's not like last year. Each game someone new steps up and delivers. It will be Hawkins more often than not. There's no stopping this train.

I’m on board. Easy to say they’ll get a loss or two and probable. But I’m estimating undefeated through the rest of the regular season unless we start piling on injuries.
