Do you mean tOSU?

TBH I enjoy calling them Toss-U. Almost as much fun as Sun-Jay.

Yeah, I don't understand this trend of coaches leaving on a bad note. It's hard on everyone. There is no need to make it personal or derogatory. the former coach and millen, not sure why they felt the need to go low like that.

Regarding pizza, I think we stick to what we do best in CT. Coach Candle's been around, I'm sure he's tried it all. I think it is our responsibility to feed him up the best pizza in the world. If he ever leaves CT, he can reminisce about how he had the best pizza ever and never went back - to whatever blocks of dough they serve in the mid-west. I mean, if it's a dealbreaker, then sure, find a local to buy some square sheets and make whatever he wants.

Who said Mora left on a bad note? We were lucky to have the guy. You seem to know what his relationship was with the players, please explain.

there are hundreds of posts, here and on social media, criticizing him for how he left and why people are upset with him. you can surely find them.

Rather spend my money elsewhere. We have three guys incubating, so we don’t know.

Agree here. Evers, McDonald. I think it needs to be a competion but Evers seems to be on track and productive.

i heard UConn hired a coach. Nice.
IDK anything about the guy except he has a solid winning record in the MAC, which doesn't exactly pump me up per se, but talent is talent, even if it comes from the MAC. Absolutely hoping for the best with coach Candle. Congrats sir.

On another note, I believe in integrity and I hope he refuses to (actively) pursue any toledo players to UConn. I don't care if we benefit, and everyone else is doing it. It's wrong, IMO. You recruited before, you can do it again, leave Toledo alone to lick their wounds and recover without pouring salt into it. Move on.

If the player insists, that's different. But don't chase anyone, leave them alone.

Integrity is for those who already have fortune, or those who don't want fortune.
