Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4864441, member: 181"] I'm genuinely happy to see that we are equally disappointed that there will be no more BEF documentaries. I mean it as no victory lap to say that I'm unsurprised by this news, and refer you to any of several comments & actions by Cooley pre- and post-game last Saturday for far better examples of "narcissistic douchery." Ftr, I don't relish annoying fellow Boneyarders, but accept it as a relatively predictable price I pay for having too much time on my hands within the 'past one's best by' portion of "my one wild & precious life*;" not favoring when some (not all, not you) self-certain types overreach or 'punch down' within the MBB Forum; and having self-compassion that my default mode in a semi-anonymous forum seems to be garrulous rough drafts that are unlikely to benefit from the revisits & revisions that would enable me to consistently offer shinier polished turds. Without bottom-line self-mockery, I'd be as insufferable as those who Ignore me must feel, however much I regard myself as someone who is merely 'matching their questionable energy' and not hitting first but just walking through doors they keep opening. At foundation, I'm a hopeless 6-decade Husky homer, seeking synergistic harmony & aligned interest toward highest actions & outcomes in right relationship between & among fans, players, coaches, and beyond. What a crock, eh? And sincerely true at the same time. At its best, it looks & feels like yesterday's game. Regarding "Divine Providence," all I really wanted to do was stanch my fellow Husky fans' 'leap before you look' hysteria borne of misbelief that the production was officially associated with the Big East, and not conceived & executed in nose-thumbing fun. I even softened to allow for myself being wrong about it being a one-off. I, like you, would have welcomed the full Big East Babylon 11-pack, even if it meant I'd have to endure however Blue Demon Degenerate would have chosen to portray the Huskies. Yikes. This thread/your post tipped me to the point of actually logging into XFKATwitter so that I could read the full thread, savor the comments, and follow TheBDD. Previously, I had refused or declined to log in to X ever since my first-ever Pixel phone failed a year ago, for the first of now two, "I've got a dead phone that needs contractually-warranted replacement" semi-nightmares. I'm glad I did so; the guy makes me laugh. I liked last night watching Goodman & Dauster singing UConn's praises, and it saddens me that they seem to have weighed in as though they have a dog in the controversy. BDD called it by saying that Big East put the biggest foot down, and a DMCA-premised takedown request could like result in YouTube removing the video. Wherever I might seem smug in my posture is grounded in my reading of BEF presentation as to the, "This is not serious"-ness of the enterprise, and the, "Yeah, well, WE take our IP rights seriously"-ness of the response by a variety of moneyed parties with perceived & real interests to protect. * Credit to the estate of Mary Oliver [/QUOTE]
