Press conference thread

[ruskin]

This is a long ass press conference

You're still watching/listening tho, right? Can't be that boring

 

[junglehusky]

It's not just a job to us, not just a career to us. This football team is our family. In football, it's a brotherhood of men. Not life and death but it's everything to us [coaches]. This is the player's team...


...and that's the conclusion.

My feed just went out, anyone have same problem?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Weist is just awesome in front of the mic. This guy sold me hook, line and sinker.

He'll sell me by winning games.

TJ Weist: "we have talent" THANK YOU!!!
Weist: "we are going to hit them in the mouth" THANK YOU!!!

Did he really say "we are going to hit them in the mouth"??? Did that bastard steal my line?!?

 

[Fishy]

The only way that this presser could have gone better is if Warde walked in, threw DeLeone's spine on the table and then just kept talking without acknowledging it.

Or, better, used it as a pointer to call on reporters.

Same here!

My feed just went out, anyone have same problem?

Yup.

 

[jostar1]

My feed just went out, anyone have same problem?

Me too.

 

[Santini35]

My feed just went out, anyone have same problem?

yeah but i reloaded and podium is empty, so i figure its over

 

[huskeynut]

My feed stop also

 

[Dooley]

Did he really say "we are going to hit them in the mouth"??? Did that bastard steal my line?!?

I knew you'd like that! And yes, yes he did. Maybe Weist is a Boneyard poster too.

 

[BlueDogs]

He'll sell me by winning games.

I like the fact that he said that head on. No ifs or buts. In response to the getting interim: "I'm prepared, ready and I want it"

 

[HooHusky]

My feed just went out, anyone have same problem?

Mine too. Now, just folks talking, no one at the mike.

[Pudge]

I like Warde Manual. But ... We have a lot of things that need to be done successfully. Lets get it on. No more crappy performances in Football. (And thank you for that Kevin Ollie process ... I believe we are gonna be good)

 

[metsfan2323]

My feed stop also

I think they cut the feed when Weist announced we are going 8 - 0.

 

[UConnDan97]

I knew you'd like that! And yes, yes he did. Maybe Weist is a Boneyard poster too.

I've never seen Weist and CTMike in the same room at the same time....just sayin'...

 

[JaYnYcE]

It's going to take more than a presser and a power tie to impress me.

 

[CTMike]

I've never seen Weist and CTMike in the same room at the same time....just sayin'...

Bahahahaha... I wish man!

Manuel: Talked to several donors, figured out where things stand financially. "We're not going backwards." #UConn

Translation: I called Burton this morning, and he quickly paid me $750,000 cash to get rid of PP and GDL--as long as he could be the one to gather up all of their belongings from 'his building' and physically throw them out the window for PP and GDL to collect on their own from the lawn. As a thank you gift, he has been given a seat at the table when we discuss the future coachin hire, as well as a life-size voo-doo doll of Jeff Hathaway for Burton to use for target practice.

 

[IMind]

Sounds like TJ Weist hinted at DeLeone and Pasqualoni being a big part of the offense this year and in the past. Going to evaluate what the coaching staff wants to going forward.

This is exactly the sense I got from the Weist... also the bit about evaluating the talent we have and deciding what we do best. It sounds like PP and GDL kept trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.

 

[TRest]

It's going to take more than a presser and a power tie to impress me.

How about if it's a really nice tie? Hopefully he won't have snot running down his face during the games.

Didn't need a press conference for that revelation.

 

[Jimdish255]

It's basically like Warde stayed up all night and combed through the Boneyard and summarized that he shares all of our frustrations and concerns and shares our goals, even down to the monetary concerns of hiring the next coach with PP's buyout.

He nailed this thing. Hopefully he follows through on his end.

Exactly what I was thinking and telling a buddy at work. Thought I was dreaming in some alternate universe. Still couldn't feel too sorry for the guy given he was the last guy in the room (except for Carl and the horde) to figure this out, causing himself another four games of agony and digging the hole further. But in some ways you have to understand the dilemma.

So I'm glad he finally got it right and we move on from here. My new nickname for TJ is "Nails". Hope the guys on the team adopt that same attitude. Today was a good day.
