After yrs of SUBJECTIVE OPINIONS & ANIMOSITY @jacobscourant shouldnt be allowed ANYWHERE NEAR our @UconnMBB

Jeff Jacobs‏ @jacobscourant45m 45 minutes ago
Could you point out the inaccuracy? A repeat of last year 0-2 start with losses to Wag and NE wouldn't put the heat up?

Mike Melio‏ @EnzosDad39m 39 minutes ago
You are a bitter man that bashed our program and our University for years. Try BUILDING something of VALUE instead of TEARING DOWN KIDS.

Jeff Jacobs‏ @jacobscourant38m 38 minutes ago
Again, where am I wrong about saying the program can't afford a repeat of last year's nightmare start? That is the opinion.

Mike Melio‏ @EnzosDad32m 32 minutes ago
Your Opinions are a STENCH that DIVIDE and TEAR DOWN those that spend their lives building something of VALUE. You get SIGNIFICANCE attempting to destroy the EFFORTS of our University, Student Athletes and Coaches. We ALL know it.

Jacobs was a during Calhoun from what I remember

 

[UConNation]

Well, Jacobs isn’t wrong. Even if he’s being “troll-ish”.
Also, the tweeter is showing that he’s at least 60+ with all of the caps he’s using. #angryoldman

 

[Guapo]

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Jacobs' job isn't to be a cheerleader for the program or hide its blemishes.

I think he's fairer than most writers, especially when it's came to coverage of the APR ban and conference realignment.

You know how we don't get articles written about us like this?

By winning.

Beat Colgate.

 

[UConnStats]

That guy needs to relax.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

@EnzosDad take off the blue goggles!! You are drunk on blue Kool-Aid. We cannot repeat last year. No Excuses.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Seriously? That Jacobs article is tame. There's really nothing objectionable in there.

 

[Waquoit]

Well, Jacobs isn’t wrong. Even if he’s being “troll-ish”.

Not even close to being trollish. The other guy is pure troll. Personal attacks without even trying to justify his POV.

 

[Paesano]

Jacobs hated Calhoun and I get the guy carrying a grudge over what was written in the past. But he has been fair since Ollie took over. Yeah, he is a for what he did but judge his new content based on recent context.

The crazy guy is probably one of the apologists here.

 

[whaler11]

That guy needs to relax.

Google him - this isn’t a random guy on Twitter he’s a huge donor.

 

[Hoophound]

Mike Melio is a wealthy UConn alum and superfan.

 

[Fishy]

Jeff Jacobs is a columnist.

The job involves pointing out the good and the bad, even at the risk of overstating both.

I don’t know the other Twitter guy, but he’s stolen Pudge’s style.

 

[whaler11]

Melio’s claim to fame is his relationship with complete scumbag Tony Robbins.

 

[gampelcrazies]

I'm not disagreeing with Jacobs but he's a clown. Amore is better

 

[Hoophound]

You know Mike Melio. He comes up often in UConn circles. He runs around with Tony Robbins, donates to UConn, Tweets from private jets etc. He runs or founded some materials and/or metal companies.

 

[Wordbomar]

Amore is a beat writer, Jacobs is a columnist. Very different. In a way, that is likely why you like Dom more. He will one more apt to post positive stuff most of the time.

 

[whaler11]

Melio also pimps one of those huge scumbag southern churches that separates fools from their money. Elevation.

 

[Hoophound]

I like Jacobs. He stirs the pot and knows the subject matter. I don't always agree with him, but that's no reason not to like him.

 

[CL82]

Jacobs was a during Calhoun from what I remember

Absolutely, but he's been better lately.

 

[CL82]

@EnzosDad take off the blue goggles!! You are drunk on blue Kool-Aid. We cannot repeat last year. No Excuses.

Jeff?

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I've always found Jacobs articles to be better than almost anything UConn related online (Silver was good for football I must say).

One thing with Jacobs that made me laugh was when he said he "wouldn't rest" until he got to the bottom of conference realignment during the Big 12 fiasco as if there was anything to be found and or revealed.

 

[UConnStats]

Google him - this isn’t a random guy on Twitter he’s a huge donor.

I know who he is, but his position as a donor is even more of a reason to not go after journalists on twitter IMO.

I’m glad he donates the money but the fact he’s a complete tool was evident long before today.

There’s really nothing wrong with what Jacobs is saying.
