Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3222841, member: 44"] Mmm, I kind of get the sense that in your world view "injecting realism" is you trying to impose your opinion. Fair enough, I guess, that's what we do here, talk right? But expect it to be viewed critically when it becomes repetitive. As I am fond of pointing out "The way things are is the way that they will always be" is the mantra of small minds. I feel as if you and I (but it may have been other posters on this board) have talked about this before. "Realism" was that UConn never won a championship, until I listed the 20 something that UConn football has won over the years. Then realism was that we can't fill a stadium, until I posted the attendance totals. With a successful team UConn used to pack the Rent. Heck even after a miserable 8 year run we are still averaging 21K a game. Think about that number a second. More people are watching those games that a sold out XL or two sold out Gampels. I fully expect UConn football to be successful again. It takes time. I fully expect UConn MBB to be successful again as well. The difference is BB plays 5 at a time. It is much easier to fix a BB program than a football program. Hopefully we'll see more improvement this year but it will take time. [/QUOTE]
