Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 3411895, member: 70"] Eh. Think about the teams Craig Austrie played on and the role he was asked to play on those teams and compare it to the role that Vital has been asked to play the last couple years. Vital has been asked to carry a load he is not equipped for but neither were role players on vintage UConn teams. As far as the losing record thing, I don't use that as a means by which to denigrate the kid, as many on here do. I see him as a kid who stuck it out through really hard times, maintained a good attitude, and has a tremendous amount of love for UConn. I was really hoping that he'd be rewarded with a post-season but that's not looking like it's in the cards, and for me that's the most disappointing aspect of the season. I feel for him. He stuck it out when most of the people who rip him on here would have turtled at the first sign of adversity. [/QUOTE]
