Thank you for staying!

With the way people are nowadays, it's a miracle CV and Gilbert made it through to tonight, and they should really be commended. Young people (and many people in general), are so quick to leave a bad situation, or to blame others when things go wrong. These guys had every opportunity to leave UCONN and transfer out. They didn't. They stuck it out and persevered through so much adversity, and both will ultimately be better people for it. I've been proud of teams before, but not so much for individuals. I'm proud of these two and really happy for them. Thank you Christian and Alterique! Shining examples of kids who did not run from adversity.

Enough already with the hagiography of these two. Let's be serious, if they left we would have been fine. Besides where were they gonna go?

 

[XLCenterFan]

I'm not saying we wouldn't have been fine. I'm saying that kids nowadays can't handle adversity and most people in their shoes would have left at some point. They stuck it out. I'm happy for them. Stop being a hater.

It is prime Yard. A nice short post that is both entirely wrong and in poor taste. Master effort.

no we wouldn't. who would have been the tough guy on the team in Vital? Who would have instilled the grit into the freshman class that Hurley recruited and who would have help implemented the coach's culture in the future generations of our program. You suck

Have you ever read Waq’s posts before... candidate to finish in nearly every spot in the top 10.

It's a great comment. People love to be offended.

I can't call it the worst. Used "hagiography" in appropriate context and spelled it correctly. That alone should keep it out of the top spot.

Mods we really need to update @Waquoit's avatar:

That's fine. You guys are just going over the top. These guys finally start playing team ball, we start winning and it's all hugs and kisses.

For some certainly. Others have had their backs even in bad times and appreciated them during those times.

Not everyone is a fair weather fan.

A Like and a Comment.

So basically, they climbed out of the hole and you're still digging.
