I know just as much about Husky BB as you do.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? I can over analyze too fellas so I’m right there with ya. I know just as much about Husky BB as you do. If talk of losing breeds a sense of comfort, who am I to interfere? I just think you got the jinx thing backwards. It becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.
I’ve heard a lot of talk about a few teams somehow getting a W against them without any specifics. It’s easy to be somewhat right that way, but who exactly is the star player from any of these teams who’s going to emerge to take them down? Name one.
They all know by now the domino effect that’s about to take place and they’re all scared S less.
Butler certainly won’t be any louder than Florida. You think they’re much better?Butler away and first conference game may not be as easy as most think.
By the simple fact of lacking experience with certain board conventions, in-jokes, and such, you have some fully expectable knowledge gaps. In itself, that's nothing that can't be accommodated and absorbed into the flow of this community. However, you have already displayed an argumentative self-certainty in areas where you lack knowledge that others have, and you have combined this with a combative or disinterested stance toward others' efforts to inform and help you.By tone & temperment, you provide a most curious presence new presence on The Boneyard.

I'm gonna make the call: not a cat.
Well then
So who's your team?
Hand your tickets over to someone else who gets the job done. We play team ball here!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!
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.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
Post/handledrugs r bad, mmmkay?
Then again, it might.Butler away and first conference game may not be as easy as most think.
Either way.Then again, it might.
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.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!
By tone & temperment, you provide a most curious presence new presence on The Boneyard.
YEAH, IT’S CALLED ‘A FEMALE’ HAIKU. LOOK IT UP.
I'm gonna make the call: not a cat.
UM, I ALREADY SAID THAT THEY WILL GO REGULAR SEASON UNDEFEATED. AND IT SHOOK THIS BOARD TO IT’S CORE.Well then
So who's your team?
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?
UM, I ALREADY SAID THAT THEY WILL GO REGULAR SEASON UNDEFEATED. AND IT SHOOK THIS BOARD TO IT’S CORE.
GET A GRIP FELLAS!!!

Actually, it's my epidermis.Your inside jokes are showing and they aren’t very flattering for ya haiku.
They have to want to be welcomed or helped on board.Veteran posters can be welcoming and generous in helping newcomers onboard to this special place.
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.Butler certainly won’t be any louder than Florida. You think they’re much better?

Very obvious troll.We've reached ignore territory...
Wait, what?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?
Let her go, she's on a roll.Wait, what?
1994-95 team ranked #1 loses to #15 Villanova at GAMPEL 96-73. Was at that game it is was depressing.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.
Got blown out in the BET championship game by them as well, 94-78.1994-95 team ranked #1 loses to #15 Villanova at GAMPEL 96-73. Was at that game it is was depressing.
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 teamI'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.

Because good even dominant teams can lose games. Typically conference opponents are another level in terms of competition.Okay but I’m just not seeing why people are circling the Butler game in particular as some scary game.

throat punching, extraordinaire!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.

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…
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.

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.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.
