Shout out to Keelan Marion

It is not good for the program. It means nothing for the program. He does not play for us. And celebrating being a minor league farm team for power 4 programs is just par for the course for the cope around here these days.

This is hilarious to me. In another thread somebody told me that rooting for a transfer is like rooting for an ex-girlfriend to find a new guy.

I guess it all comes down to mindset. Seeing Marion to me was a surprise, like seeing a familiar face you haven't seen in a while. I knew he was in Miami, saw him play in the past couple of rounds, but I was still like "Oh! Hey! It's Keelan Marion!" while watching the game.

sad KM is not a husky, but after what he went through in '21 and '22, i can't blame him for leaving.
I have to put myself in a kid's shoes.... I cannot argue with where he was last night. why the **** would I be mad at him for not sticking it out with UConn when what I saw him do last night, was a possibility...

also, his choices of quarterbacks included zergiotis, krajewski, phommachanh..... and Zion Turner... yeah, BYE UConn.

happy for him.
Hopefully we will have our day someday.

No question. I don't think anyone here is blaming him for leaving if I am not mistaken. They are expressing their thoughts about whether they can root for him. I doubt Keelan Marion has even thought about UConn or his time at UConn for 1 second this season and if I was in the same position as him I would not either.

After a player is gone I don't care if he plays well or not. I care about what they did here.

I also agree that I do not want former Huskies to be an advertisement for UConn as a glorified farm team.

Sorry Pal, but I actually do care and happen to love it when Sean McDonough makes mention when the player is a "former UConn, (BC or Syracuse) player that he's broadcasting about in their new spot (based on his New England roots and being a 'Cuse alum.) Anytime I can hear "UConn" on a broadcast I love it! "Touchdown NC St--Justin Joly. The former UConn star showed his catch radius on that high pass reception." "What a night for Keelan Marion, the former UConn and BYU transfer". I want more people hearing UConn's name on behalf of players performing well on football telecasts. In this Portal World the fact that UConn has some coveted players is a good thing.

This.

Not rooting for or against him, but his success does nothing for UConn just as it does nothing for BYU. It helps Miami, and I ain't a Miami fan. Just do not care.
 
Not rooting specifically against Marion, but can’t imagine any rational UConn fan nor most people rooting for scUM.

HOO-siers!

Looked at his stats at UConn. Made the mistake of looking at the game log from 2021. Reminded of the 1-11 season w/ the only win being a 6 point victory over Yale. UConn has come a long way.

I remember being on a cross country flight and paying $9.99 for WiFi so I could watch what was likely their best chance to win that year. Couldn’t miss it
 
If Beck went over top to the endzone on this play Keelan might've been the hero for The U in this game....just sayin

 
It was a horrible pass. Easy touchdown for Miami. I really didn’t care who won. There’s been so many great, close games this year. It’s kind of a shame this one ended on a really bad under-throw rather than a perfectly executed long pass.

No doubt! That final pass by Miami could just as likely made Keelan Marion the miracle TD hero and flipped the entire narrative. Imagine how that story would have been rewritten!
Love that Marion and Chandler Whitmer were key elements in the outcome..
Having former Huskies in the mix adds interest to any game.
 
HOOsiers! Likable team, coach, school, etc.

Good for scUM, the university initially in cahoots with FSU, ESPN, and dingleberry BCU which undermined Big East football and originally conference realignment-screwed UConn.
 
Talked about this on another thread. Apparently Beck had surgery that very possibly affected his arm strength. Noticed a number passes that floated when they needed zip, and others underthrown. Possible explanation.

We -- and the rest of the G5 -- are farm teams for the big boys. And the lower rungs of the P4 are farm teams for the upper rungs of it.

That's reality at the moment. Banging your chest about it and beating on other fans for following players who leave changes not a wit. And absent further changes in the system or getting into a P4 conference, there is not a thing to be done about it.
