Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4731486, member: 974"] A positive, forward looking, headline would end after the words "posied for growth." Your second and and third paragraphs are about Mora leaving and filled with negative language. Your your definition of "reality" is defensive. It extends the pessimism of the headline. If these paragraphs were at the end of the article it wouldn't be so bad. It gets worse, you say UConn is a joke. What you are doing isn't reality, it is taking the worst possible evaluations of UConn and reinforcing them. Your negativity is so ingrained you think everyone else believes it. An accurate headline for this piece would be "A defense of UConn football." This type of article does more harm than good. If your goal is to show UConn is more than a one coach team. That is easily demonstrated by the fact the Huskies were the second fastest to be be nationally ranked in the top 25 after jumping to D1. They won two BE championships (tied) while a member of a then power six conference under Edsall. They reached a BCS bowl, an level that more than half of the division has yet to achieve. The entire article is based on Mora leaving sooner or later. A positive article might start with the Huskies legacy of athletic success with multiple national championships in multiple sports. It might talk about the success of the program producing NFL players. What happens when Mora bails is not a positive way to approach the program. Get past your own negativity and try again. [/QUOTE]
