It's funny - being accused of being an so often around here.... um some the accusers should look in the mirror sometime.

Can someone fish Waylon out of the Cesspool? When he is more active people focus on hating him. It's a nice break.

I have been working on the mother of all "I told you so" posts where I point out that I have hated Manuel from the start, thought Diaco was in over his head from the start, saw that Manuel's petulant 8 month contract for Ollie would kill basketball recruiting for 2 years, and that not going with the basketball schools in conference realignment was a massive mistake. But Palatine and Zoo keep posting nonsense on the Cesspool and it is hard to focus on 4 boards at once.

Kevin Ollie was on a 1 year contract for 106 days. His contract extension came 47 days after his first win.

The hand-wringing about the 1 year contract is so fahking stupid. The staff had to deal with recruiting restrictions, and frankly hasn't had a good record closing on recruits. They have to get better. It's insane to argue that a 15 year old was so concerned about Ollie's future he ruled us out because of the 106 days where the coach was without a long-term contract, but now that 17 year old kid doesn't care about the long term deal Ollie has.

Figures. Dan clamps down on anyone posting in the 1k thread with too many posts. But someone with less than 5k is pre-refuting Waylon's post and he is nowhere to be found.

I was hoping Zoo would step up for this one, but clearly, he's too busy enjoying the caviar in the champagne room...

I really hate rules and think since I have read over 5000 posts I think that I can reply. I have nothing of substance to add other than off season sucks.

You're so predictable.

1) Make ridiculous comment.
2) When challenged with a logical argument, respond by addressing the poster rather than the post.
3) Check the weather at www.waylonsfantasyland.com.


While you gather your thoughts here are some fun facts (give or take a day or two).

Kevin Ollie had a 1 year contract for 106 days. (9/13/12 - 12/28/12)
Then Kevin Ollie had a 5 year contract for 510 days (12/28/12 - 5/22/14)
Kevin Ollie is currently on day #258 of his 1,825 day contract with UConn worth roughly $15 million. (5/22/2014 - 5/22/2019).


Tell us again how that 106 days was so much more important than the 768 days since, which included a National Championship by the way.

Or why those 106 days were far more important than the 120 days (over 3 years) of off campus recruiting they lost combined the one fewer coach being allowed to make recruiting calls.

You don't have to like Manuel, but pinning recruiting on him is b@tsh4t crazy.

I'm sorry, but as someone with more than 1,000 posts, but fewer than 5,000 posts, you're not allowed to have an opinion.

You'll have to wait for the 1,001-4,999 thread.

canada sucks
But....hockey is their national sport!

Speaking of message board meltdowns, anyone check out the Seahawks' board after the Super Bowl? :D They had to alter/delete a lot of posts.

Pudge is still trying to carry on in another thread. Enough already.
