This Team Stinks

[TheConnRules]

Someone can still challenge my initial post. We were down 15 points to a dreadful team the game after scoring 13 pts in a half to not so great team. So at the time yes we did stink. My post didn't say we will forever be the worst team and there is no hope for us. We stunk at the time and that was true.

Im glad we won, but we really shouldnt be down by 15 to that team and we still failed to put them away. If they hit one of about 9 threes at the end, it would've been a 7 pt game. Boat played great as did kromah and our bigs. But that wasn't a very good team we played. We still have a long way to go. I guess I'm a huge d bag and hate uconn for pointing out when we stink. Sorry ill blindly follow us and say how wonderful we are when we continue to barely beat crappy teams yet were ranked in the top 15. I didn't realize this was the youth girls league message board

Ok take what happened in the game out of the equation, you do realize that when you go off on a message board during the game people are going to bash you. We all get it's a message board and everyones entitled to their own opinions. People in here including myself like your honesty but it needs to be toned down. We can see that they can't rebound and they go into massive shooting slumps. Maybe on Saturday keep your iPad off until 3:30 or so.

It's really sad that you aren't getting this. Team plays poorly for 12 minutes. You could have said "wow guys, we're really struggling right now" or "wonder what's going on with Bazz right now" (or, you know, at least restrain yourself until halftime) but instead you go with the broad generalization of "this team stinks," period, as if any productive or insightful thought or discussion could come from such an assertion. And then, your first backing sentence to such a baseless, idiotic, childishly reactionary statement is a declaration of how your point is not even up for debate.

You. Post. Like. An. Ass. Hole. How's that for a generalized statement on performance?

Have mods ran an IP check to make sure this moron isn't OklahomaUConn or whatever his name was making a heroic return?

Dude closes wins is the new thing in College Basketball. With the new rules for fouls close games are normal. Duke beat VERMONT by 1PT, #3 Ohio State by 3 over Notre Dame, Gonzaga lost by 10 to a TERRIBLE K- State team, #1 Arizona beat freaking Drexel by 4. that's just off the top of my head. So please follow sports alittle bit before you go on that rant. Especially on the road on a WEST COAST trip against a much better team then you think. But nice try watch some college games besides UConn and you will see not even CUNTucky beats everyone by 30.

I would really challenge you to find a poster who makes more comments than yourself. Go look at my previous posts. I point out the team stinks when,
At he time we stunk. If you're so sensitive then I'm sorry. Get over it
Down 15 to crappy Washington means we stunk. If everyone who ever said the truth is a then there are a lot of them out there

Rule one. When you are in a hole, stop digging.

 

[Durks07]

Go read my other posts. What a huge fan you are since you watched the game and all.

It took you how long to come up with that one? That is honestly the best you can do? Just out of curiosity, do you think I picked your post to quote and ask how the game turned out because I didn't see it when I easily could find the score in about 100 different ways? Or is it more likely that I did in fact see the game and just wanted to mock you? Please don't bother asking, if the initial sarcasm was lost on you, I imagine this question is an absolute mind bender.

 

[David 76]

Oh,

So every team with a better RPI is better than those below?

That is the basic theory. Yes.

If I understand you're logic correctly, then you are an idiot, because at the time you made this post, you were an idiot.

Maybe you took ESL in high school and that's fine, it's the world we live in. But if you truly were referring to point in time (which I doubt) you should have said in your OP, "this team stinks right now" or "gee we are playing sh1tty right now." Instead, you are back peddling like a mofo. In any case, happy holidays!

 

[Kembacity]

Ok you were right. I overreacted and am dumb. But we did stink at the time of the post to be down 15 to this crap team. On the bright side I was not foolish to say we need to play kromah and not Calhoun six games ago. Well call it even

Are you 11? Have you watched basketball before? The heat were losing to the Kobe-less Lakers early in in their Christmas Day game! This is basketball, it happens to teams much better team ours. Just calm down your psychoses and give it a few minutes next time, let the game go before you hit the message board to let everyone know London bridge is falling

I spent Sunday in a birthing class with my wife and forgot to DVR the game so I came here to see if the good guys one. I saw the tittle of this thread and assumed the worst but than I took a second to remember where I was and checked the box score.

Looks like a heck of a game, not sure if the 8 hour birthing lecture was worth it.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Well you know it's going to be a good year when the Boneyarders pile on the gloom and doom disssenters and beat the digital snot out of them. It's like a virtual stoning.

There is a difference between playing lousy for a stretch of time and being lousy. Do you do that with your family?

Maybe we should lay off. He might be a kid

Too late, he's already been hanged, drawn and quartered for his treachery. What more could be done?

To be hanged, drawn and quartered was a penalty in England for men convicted of treason. Convicts were fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disemboweled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge.

I'd say that just about sums up the work performed here. The Boneyard lived up to its name

Well well well. Looks like I was onto something here after all. Maybe this will spark another comeback but I doubt it. Boy all you mocking me and tearing me apart for this thread sure look smart now.

Congratulations! Tell him what he's won, Bob....why it's the smarmy jackarse award!

...except you caved and apologized about 5 minutes after making this thread.

The guy who knows what he's talking about award! THIS TEAM STINKS. It is unarguable at this point. We just lost to Houston and smu and were down double digits to both. That's a disgrace

wow! that is a prestigious award. now go upstairs and tell your mom that you won an argument on the internet while the rest of us draw something up that you can hang on the fridge.

Sorry that you were so hurt by being treated so harshly. I didn't think it was right, but now you can be happy with yourself as you have been vindicated. I however find it ludicrous that anyone calling themselves a Uconn fan could gloat the way you have after a lose. Uconn has now lost two games in a row, good for you. And I thought Coach Flood was an annoying poster...

Believe me I'm far from happy we are playing so poorly. But I think it's a little ironic that I get annihilated for pointing it out and three games later everyone is saying it

 

[huskyharry]

Realistically, this team could be looking at 8 more losses (2 each to Memphis, L'ville and Cincy, Harvard and another substandard road performance) in the regular season to finish at 20-11. 20-11 from the AAC is not going to get an NCAA bid.
I hope that is not the case but that is the level at which we have been playing the past month.

Team doesn't stink - lot's of personalities on this team that don't seem to be able to sustain consistent intensity. Even Shabazz seems to wander off until it's crunch time quite a bit. They're just not good enough to go into those lulls . On the road against less than name brand teams, I suppose I can understand. One isn't going to get as pumped up against Houston on the road as it would against Louisville. The talent on this roster can't afford to take any games for granted. It's a flawed team with some major limitations. No physicality, relies on the 3 pointer far too much, basically a finesse team. I honestly see almost no NBA talent on the roster. You'd think Daniels might based on size, but the kid is the anti Michael Jordan when it comes to competitiveness.

If there is anything this game is making me recognize, I will also wander off as a fan of a team playing in this conference. As a true first season in this hot mess, the reality has set in that I have absolutely zero interest in this league. It's becomes lightly depressing when I am almost driven to watch a great rivalry/real conference game like a Mich St/Indiana game over a Uconn/SMU. I'm starting to think the next win I will really care about for the Uconn program is getting out of the AAC.

I agree, it is hard to get excited about these games. The intensity is missing. Win or lose, I love intense games. Nothing was better than match ups with Pitt and Syracuse. Maybe it will come. Hope so anyway.
