UConn is Making Carlton Bragg a Major Priority

[StongingtonBob]

Fair enough! And I have every reason to believe KO is a stand up guy. But until he wins and makes the tourney consistently, Uconn remains in the "can't win without bending and breaking rules" file!

We will be very good.

We certainly must have different definitions of "very good".

And you will be hard pressed to win the new Conference USA.

Yeah, we have a couple really tough teams to deal with. Of course 66.6% of the time we have won the national championship, we have not won our regular season conference championship.

I tried to look up your national championship to conference championship data, but it keeps coming up "Not Applicable".

Whatever the AAC or whatever you call it

Missing the point. When Louisville leaves, you're conference will suck. 2 bids if you're lucky. Far worse that the A10. Ollie will have to schedule and win some tough road games to get any love. Third place in the AAC won't get you in. Look at the bright side, maybe you can get Stony Brook and Vermont to replace Louisville and Rutgers.

I thought you guys were making a hard run at Melvin Swift '14? Plan on running him out of town in '15 or '16?

I've always wondered what makes someone's life so boring, lonely and pointless that he has to troll an opposing team's message board for fun.

Care to fill us in?

Clothy, you are an idiot.

We won the Big East more than any other school, now we can't finish Top 2 in a crappy conference? What you and your ilk will never understand is that our success is in no way dependent on those around us. UConn wins. Championships. National Championships. Get your mind around what that means and I promise you will figure out why it doesn't matter if we play SMU, ECU or Providence.

Your point was to type of bunch of idiotic statements based upon 0 facts? That's odd.

Your current coach has one season under his belt where he finished 8th in the Big East. The Calhoun era is over. Lets see how you do without a rule bending/breaking coach.

I suspect the end of the Calhoun era is weighing more on PC minds than ours. What game is going to be your championship now?

 

[Matrim55]

I actually think the post-Louisville AAC will be just about equal to the ACC of 2005-2012.

That league had two elite teams (Dook & UNC) and a bunch of chaff.

Our league will have two elite teams (us & Memphis), an up-and-comer (SMU), a constant Sweet 16 threat (Temple) and... a lot of chaff.

It's not the quality of the AAC that sucks, it's the lack of local rivals. Too bad none of the teams in our region are relevant at all, because that would help. But decades of futility doesn't exactly make for compelling basketball, does it?

Your kidding right? Let's party like it's 1994

I was wondering how we could get PC into this thread. Now you've done it. Clothy is a UMass fan and needs to believe JC is in the same category as the squid in order to feel better. You can waste all the time you want with guys like him but nothing will change. If it makes you feel better go for it. But he isn't hearing you!

 

[Rico444]

UMass fans whack off to the thought of UConn not dominating New England. They'd probably rather see us fade into mediocrity than see themselves get good again. Unfortunately, there's no way that statement will be proven, since neither is going to happen.

Ha - I just assumed he was a PC fan. Little did I know he was so much further down the food chain.

 

[arnie3]

By page two, I always have to look back at the title of the thread to remember what this was originally about!

 

[upstater]

And once again, a recruit thread is destroyed by a troll.

Umass sucks, get outta here

how many times you want to bet we're third in the aac? and we have already started scheduling good teams ooc.

 

[Huskyforlife]

wait i just realized we're arguing with a umass fan. who gives a about umass?, i mean umass has fans? why would they care about us anyway? clothey wishes he could say KO was their coach

My god you've done it ... you have unraveled what it truly means to be a m@sshole. A gaping inferiority complex that manifests itself in aggressive driving, self loathing, taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. Clothy, you should be paying for this therapy. Who knows - what started as trolling may lead you to enlightenment. Its never too late to jump on the UConn bandwagon and experience the bliss that comes with it.

 

[Yonick]

We should finish at the top of our conference and make the tourney. We will be very good. Maybe you'll get a chance to find out how season


Careful for what you wish for Clothy. UConn is ranked between #11 & 19 pre season. I don't see UMass anywhere in the rankings.
Second, we've beaten you 29 of the last 30 times we've played. Plus, UMass hasn't made the big show in 16 years. Get there and we'll talk.

This coming from a moron who supported Calipari.....oh damn that's the last time UMass was anything and the "anything" banner was taken away........you're truly an idiot Clothy but thanks for your interest in UConn basketball, have to believe in a winner somehow!! Thanks

So while we're communicating explain to me the "bending/breaking" crap your spewing? Elaborate a bit if you can come up with anything at......maybe JC was recruiting and mentioned that Louie Carnesseca was going to quit because he had cancer? Oh NO that was Calipari as an assistant coach with Pitt I'm sorry my bad......well maybe you can come up with something a**wipe!! let us know

 

[Calhoun's Court]

I've never seen a poster on the BY with over 100+ post and no "likes".

Pretty funny just like UMASS recent tourney history.

To be honest, Clothy strikes me as more of an @ss clown than an @sswipe - Just saying.
