Hey, @seanmc94 is alive and well! He posted that, "nothing says bright lights and diversity like cow tipping in Storrs CT"


Seanzo loves to play the small town Storrs card. But, in addition to cow tipping, there in NC banner raising. And 6 billion in infrastructure improvements in Storrs. Can't say that's happening 50 miles east of Storrs.

So one of the "insiders" on their board posted that Chukwu was unhappy at Providence and was pushed over the edge when Simon left. Apparently the family would like him to play at a school where they can drive to the games. I believe UConn is roughly an hour or hour and a half drive from his hometown?

Providence is a nice little city. If a guy is picking Providence over Storrs because of the city/rural difference of the two schools we don't want them anyway because they aren't making a basketball decision, they are making a lifestyle decision. I'll take the kids that don't care about the location, or better than that, they like it because they understand there are less distractions and they can focus on academics and basketball.

Wow. Talk about too much PC--the other PC.

Yes, a beloved Star Wars character who is also tall and has a similar name and catchy nickname is an insult.

SMH.

Most of this board is composed of hairy animals that can't speak.

We're taking it in stride.

True, but not many on this board are young African Americans either.

I don't know if this is accurate or not, but I'm intrigued that you're comfortable making that assumption. What's it based on? Did I miss a thread where most of the posters shared their demographics?

I don't know, maybe he took a quick look at the cesspool.

I've wandered into the cesspool now and again. terrible. the irony of a highly censored board that lets a ton of offensive discussion prevail on another section.

Was that the case last year when he picked Providence? Why didn't he pick Fairfield if his family wanted to be able to drive to his games---Wouldn't Quinnipiac be a nice fit--Half the distance from his home

 

[Stainmaster]

u still didnt answer my question. u cant teach height, no doubt... does Uconn need more big men projects? I'm not sure... if we have a schollie to burn and want to take a chance, fine. I just really am not impressed with him from what i've seen. He seems like a very well rounded person, seemed like a nice kid. I just didnt see the fire in him to be dominate and saw him get pushed around a lot. He average 2 points and 2 rebounds in his first year at providence, i dont expect a huge jump from that amount

Of course we all want instant-impact Diamond Stone guys...but I'll let you think about how rare those are.

You are a stupid f---.

This board is anything but highly censored.

If you're that unhappy here, just go --- away.

Go almost anywhere else on the internet and then tell me that this board is highly censored. Sorry you don't get to post gifs.

Pretty sure he's mostly referring to the language filter.

 

[BlueMAB]

You can drop the "n word" on this forum (well you could a month ago). This board is anything but highly censored.

I miss the gifs.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, I believe the Gibbs thread was the culprit for the elmination of gifs. Temery made that decision, and we signed Gibbs. Thanks to the gifs of course.

If gifs aren't back in March 2016 for us to please the mojo gods, then @temery is the easy choice for a hanging.

I think you're making his point for him.

He's saying this board is highly censored, while it lets a ton of discussion go on in the cesspool.

How am I making his point for him? Are you saying people should be able to freely toss around a word as offensive as the n word on a forum where the owner/operator has to answer to advertisers in order to keep it free for the users?

I was one of the ones complaining about that word slipping through the filters, I'm glad it's been taken care of. However, that doesn't mean the board is "highly censored".

Not that I have ever used one when needed (which was often) but I think shrinks suggest that keeping one's feeling inside is not good for one's overall health.

Maybe you want to think about letting go and fully expressing your feelings and not holding back as you did in this post

BTW - I agree, there is not anything that one cannot post (not matter how idiotic) on this board with very few exceptions that have nothing to do with the wisdom (or lack thereof) set forth in a post.

I might not be the most patient person in the world, but I can generally accept when a long-time poster or someone who generally adds to the board has a complaint.

There's usually something to it.

But when someone who really doesn't add anything consistently complains, it steps right on my last nerve.

As I tell them, there are plenty of UConn boards out there and they have only to choose the one that better suits their needs. We won't miss them.

But they never leave - sometimes they try to save face with some sort of half-hearted comeback, but they never leave.

Im a current UConn Student that happens to be African American

No, I think I'm in agreement with you, I just think you misinterpreted his post.

 

[caw]

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but does anyone think PC will bar some schools? I can almost certainly think of one!

That's a good question, usually schools only bar other schools on their schedule.

This board may be a lot of things but highly censored is not one of them.

I never understood how the N word was cool around here but several words referring to excrement are banned.

Who said it was "cool around here"?

That's one of the more stunningly stupid things I've ever seen anyone post.

I thought that the conversation here about the use of that word after Andrew Harrison's comment about Kaminsky was interesting, but I don't recall use of the word in context being accepted.

Except, of course, for that hysterical South Park clip that Tom posted.

 

[superjohn]

It's an expression, it was "cool around here" it "flew around here." It was accepted on this board at one time while other non-offensive cuss words were banned, glad to hear the N word is no longer tolerated in this forum.

 

[Fishy]

A filter for a site like this is blank document at the start and is built over time.

If the N-word was used once, it got through because someone didn't envision a user being stupid enough to use it.

The profanity filter is ridiculous in some of the ways it's implemented, but to imply that needlessly offensive words were ever tolerated is, well, offensive and you should know better.
