UConn picked 4th in preseason BE poll

[Waquoit]

I'm not sure what your saying?

"Jokes" that need to be explained are a fail, so I will take the L here and explain my perspective. I see the latest no-lifer from another team invade the board with a knucklehead attitude making voluminous posts devoid of any wit or insight. But, being the Boneyard and it's generous attitude to outsiders he gets comfortable enough to brag and namedrop some jamoke I never heard of. I find putting the word "The" in front said jamokes name to be humorous.

He’s saying that although Cole would be starting at UConn he doesn’t respect his talents because he left the area to play for a better program.

A Nova knob mansplaning a UConn post to a tire iron fan. That's why the Boneyard rules.

 

[Zissou]

Yep, the programs are on a similar level.

Take your trolling somewhere else, it's a tired act.

Wait, isn’t this whole thread dedicated to this poll that has Prov at 3 and UConn at 4?

As you said, you should just take the L here and move on.

That's what I thought, some fans getting all upset and name calling SMH...I was asked to refrain from name calling (even though I was just returning fire), so that's what I'm doing...just having some basketball chat here between respected programs...

That tire iron joke is so old and corny give it up man...

I don't think it's going away until you guys win a natty.

You don't think the Boneyard rules? I couldn't tell by your ubiquitousness here.

....he's busy looking that up

In all seriousness I feel bad that any college player gets the Covid so I hope whichever UConn player got it is ok and back on the court soon!

This is exchange with you goes in win column.

Confirmed. He and Sanogo will have epic battles.

He can't hit a FT, though.

Hey, kid can rebound the hell of the ball, especially on the offensive end. He and Sanogo, big boys. Old BE for you.

Willbball - I’m a PC fan and I think you should stop posting. Take a break before you get yourself banned. You’re not making anyone at Friar Talk proud.

Cheers to the upcoming season. May the best school wins. Looking forward to December 17th.

Sounds good on paper...PC doesn't have the market or championships Villa and UConn has obviously, we are a small school in a smaller market, however, we have a squad to fear over the next couple of years...pre-season accolades are great and all, but the real deal is between the players and coaches on the court...I'm confident PC holds their own, then some...

You haven't had a squad to fear in the last 40 years and haven't finished as a Kenpom Top 25 team since '04. I like Cooley and think you guys are in a solid spot, but let's not get carried away here...PC is maybe a top ~50 program?

Prov also has a good coach that seems to fit for the long term, as opposed to a climber on a stepping stone. Prov is built to last as a contender.

Cooley is a solid recruiter and Providence is built to last as a first weekend tournament team. Calling them a contender is a laughable stretch.

 

[temery]

preseason polls are irrelevant.

As a topic for discussion, it's very relevant.

BE contenders definitely, NC contenders, not there yet, but have confidence in Cooley.

Hey Friar, you are kind of the union rep for the visiting PC fans. See what you can do to up the quality of their posts. So far it’s not a good look.

Have you read Friar Talk? It's not exactly the Algonquin Round Table over there.

 

[CL82]

The battle for 3rd place is getting intense. I love it!

Lol, the Boneyard is pretty tolerant of visiting knobs, as you know well. People stop by here all the time intelligent posters, some not so much. It does make me wonder when you guys are going to get enough fans that care about your programs to have your own websites though.

Nope, where is it over on TOS?
