Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3228356, member: 5798"] [B]The idea of this thread was to [/B]find out what some of the other posters thought about the move to the NBE. I wanted to read what [B]their take[/B] on it is. That's why I created the poll that 106 voted in, 58 posters responded to, and got over 3,000 views. [B]This thread did exactly what I wanted it to. [/B] You may not be interested in the comments or the results, but I am. I realize it's a done deal and that comments won't change it; but that does not mean everyone is OK with it. This thread was another chance/vehicle to let off a little steam. If they weren't happy, [B]I[/B] want to know why. [B]I have my own opinion on this but I want to hear/know the opinions of others.[/B] We have some very knowledgeable, concerned and long time UConn fans here. Some of them are deeply invested in the football program that took a 1-2 punch to the gut on this deal. I wanted to read what some of them had to say. I got some interesting and diverse responses. [B]I read everyone of them,[/B] and enjoyed doing so. Sometimes we see eye-to-eye, sometimes we don't. This is one of those times we don't. I hope this explanation helps. You said: [B][I]"[B]I don't know what the idea of this thread is or why. [/B]This whole thread only fills the void of having nothing about UC basektball to speak of. DAAAA?" [/I][/B] Did you make the same comment/observation about other recent threads posted here that could possibly be considered a "void filler"? Posts such as - a Wimbledon (a poll), Songs about the moon, food that falls off your plate, the British Open, seat upgrades or learning to cook? None of them have anything to do with UConn WBB. My post is very germane to the UConn WBB program. The move will impact both their OOC and conference schedules for the foreseeable future, as well as increased fan interest. The move will also impact recruiting. It's not everyday that a college/university changes athletic conferences, especially a move that is as costly as this will be, and severely impacts one of its major programs and its supporters the way this one will. Broadway if this thread offends you that much, simply use the "ignore" button at the top, and you won't have to see it or be offended by its presence on the BY thread lineup. Problem solved. I use the ignore button all the time to hide threads that are of no interest to me. [B]But please realize that others here may not feel the way you do, and might be interested in either reading about, or offering an opinion/comment in a thread of this type.[/B] :) [/QUOTE]
