Sick and Tired of UConn and the conference AAC getting dissed...

[Gilligan]

I know you guys have spoken about the seedings and where the huskies and some of their AAC members were placed in the NCAA.. Well look at the rankings from the AP and USA Today to confirm the conspiracies.. Louisville is ranked 5 in the AP and 3 in USA and their a 4 seed in the tourney..UConn is 18 in AP and 19 in USA, our seeding in NCAA 7..Louisville is not the 13-16 best team in the field and UConn is not the 25-28 best team in the field..and where is UMass not ranked in either poll but they are considered by the committee to be the 17-20 best team in the field..The discrepancy is ludicrous and if this were happening to an ACC team or teams, Dukie V would be all over it... We need to make some noise in this tourney to shut everybody up, but how are the AAC teams to do that when 3 of them are playing in the same region.. What if this happened to an ACC or Big 10 or any of the big5 conferences? Would anybody be crying foul.??..I've already sent emails to everyone at ESPN, SI,and CBS to call out the committee and get some type of conversation going.. Hope all here will do the same..

Have you tried pissing into the wind or banging your head against a wall? Those may be equally as effective.
Also, it's been talked to death on these boards - national poll ranking is not strictly correlated with tournament seeding, and for good reason. K?

Now go drink some coconut milk with Mary Ann and try to forget your worries.

What exactly is the deal with the double period and no space to end sentences?

I think that 2 full days into this we are all nearly fully vented out. We UCONN fans have this complex where we feel that we have been shat on the last couple years, probably rightly so, and we are a little defensive and up tight. Here is my suggestion. Stop watching any experts and analysts. Go to your local package store and buy the largest bottle of Wild Turkey that you can find and between now and Thursday night have a shot every 4 hours or as needed for pain. Problem solved.

I like your posts generally but this one, not so much.

Nobody's talking about strict correlation but do you not see something ridiculous in the #5 team in the poll being a 4-seed? And the fact that 3 of the 4 AAC teams are in the same region has nothing to do with polls. It's a slap in the face.

And while I can't fault you for busting his chops (he's asking for it with that name), I don't think expressing outrage over this mistreatment is pointless. The people on the committee are spineless. They cave to public pressure. Accepting this mistreatment without objection is pretty much the worst possible thing to do here.

I am glad you started a thread that complains about them being overlooked, under seeded and the AAC respect.

This issue has not been discussed at all thanks glad you brought it to our attention

We differ.
I think ignoring them is exactly the right thing to do. Just win. The rest will take of itself. Emails from a few thousand irate fans will simply be woody-inducing for the people who did this.
Ignore, and win.

OP- I agree with your sentiment 100%. Your suggested response is not too practical but UCONN and the AAC were screwed and tattoed
