UConn & UC to ACC? Who is this guy?

Status
Not open for further replies.
He's a WestConn student who's parents went to UConn. I have no idea how he got into Fairfield Prep.
 
I would have been totally okay with him if he used punctuation or capital letters. Reading his posts was a painful exercise.
 
I always thought there were two HFDs,
Or at least one bi-polar one.
His extreme optimism in CR was equally matched by his pessimism on the football board. I liked the optimist because in our situation it's all we have.
It's good that he is not a UConn grad. I don't think the rest of the country understands the passion for UConn by state residents who never attended.
We may not be in the Nebraska,Kentucky ,but we could be.
 
He used to be entertaining, but not much lately. I think he actually believes if he makes up a fake story on UConn joining another conference, then gets enough people to retweet / repost it, that it'll cause that fake story to become real. Or something. He does have a gift for whipping up the internets into a frenzy, but there's never been a payoff to that. Or maybe he has a need for approval that manifests in saying crazy * to get a reaction from people on social media. (case in point) I think it's appropriate he doesn't post on the board, medic is doing a good job picking up the recruiting info. If you need HFD for ts and giggles just follow him on twitter, and then go follow Jeff Jacobs for actual leaks from UConn.

The thought of HFD having any interaction with recruits makes me uncomfortable. Luckily, I don't think there is any way he could be considered a booster.
 
also pretty sure he want to WNEC - not UConn or West Conn. His user name on the old board is WNECgrad

Its probably my fault, I said I missed the realignment BS in the HFD poll on the mens bball board and I am slightly entertained by the latest pot stir. Hope springs eternal.

Then you really haven't explored the board enough, never mind the rest of the internet.

What I find interesting is not the banning, that happens - although very rarely here, but the shunning of the guy. For a while it seemed like the mere mention of his name would be grounds for ex-communication. Fishy or another mod said it wasn't what you read on the board, rather it was never made here that caused him to be banned. Having never seen it I can only shrug. He was harmless enough from what I did see.

He drove me crazy as well and neeeded a timeout. That said I would love for him to be freed up on Saturday nights from 10-midnight. He gets one thread and can post whatever he wants (within reason of course).

I think it would become a must see. At midnight he's shut off until the following Saturday at 10 PM.

What would really be cool is to see him live on a Google hangout. A live HFD would be priceless.
 
I don't get why he was banned but I don't know the story so whatever. All I know is there is an ignore button and for some reason nobody uses it(including me). Give dan another chance

Reading this, I disturbingly got a visual from Pulp Fiction...."Bring out the gimp"
 
He was allowed in a game chat a couple weeks ago, I didn't ask why.

Fish Daddy rapped my knuckles and sent me to my room last night without my cake or gameboy after I questioned this, so not likely to happen...

Beware when questioning your authority figures!

My error, I meant to type he, not we.

Oh it is used. It makes the board far, far more readable.

Agree 10000000% There are only a few who get the "ignore" (mainly RU and Louisville trolls) but it makes the board so much easier to read.
 
Wasn't sure where to put this. One, of many options, is that Swofford could be posturing for a 4x4 pod to a ACC Championship semifinal. Another would be a single large division where the conference gets to choose the top 2.

ACC wants to change Championship Game Requirements- also 9 games?
http://espn.go.com/college-football/stor...fying-redo

Really interesting...
ACC commissioner John Swofford said Friday he is in favor of conferences having "the autonomy" to determine how teams qualify for their league championship games, and should the NCAA decide this spring to lighten its restrictions, the ACC would consider a different format.

Under the current structure, the NCAA requires that each conference have an equal number of teams in each division, and every team must play each opponent in its own division. Swofford said the NCAA is likely to re-evaluate those rules this spring.

also:
ACC officials will meet later this month and will also continue to discuss whether the league will play eight or nine conference games, along with possible scheduling alignments with other conferences, but Swofford said that nothing would change for the 2014 season.

"Any change to that, if it were to come, would be after the 2014 season," Swofford said.
 
Pods.....

FSU would not have to play Pitt, BC and Cuse every year while not playing GT and UNC.

The ACC has had real problems with divisional alignment...make it pods, with the two best teams playing in a CCG...and you solve a ot of scheduling problems.

What would the pods look like?

Presumably ACC pods would be geographic, then a few horse trades.

A possible starting point: FSU, Miami, GT, Clemson; UNC, NC State, Wake, Duke; VTech, UVa, Louisville, ?? Cincy ??; BC, Pitt, Cuse, ?? UConn ??. Maybe USF or UCF would be taken instead of Cincy for 16. Or maybe ND would come in, displacing Cincy.

Then horse trades: UVa would be in the UNC pod for tradition's sake and Wake would move to the other. If ND entered, they would probably want to be paired with BC and Pitt and maybe Duke or Miami.

Looks good to me. F ND.
 
They are going to 3 pods of 5 each and UConn will be going to the ACC.

But seriously, this isn't the first time we've heard this from Swofford. He previously made the same points before the GOR and in my opinion I think Swofford was looking out for the ACC by getting the Big 12 the option to have a championship game w/o expanding to 12.
 
Clearly Swofford wants this so ND can become a football member of the ACC without having to change anything. They can join a division without having to add another school.

ND, Clemson and FSU will be able to play a schedule that benefits them most without regard to divisions.

Close. The likely outcome would be two divisions of 7 with a guarantee of only playing 4 others from your division. It would allow them to create better TV matchups (BC/Pitt/Cuse who?) And, it allows FSU, Clemson to avoid playing so far from home.

The primary reason however is to allow the B12 to hold a championship game without going to 12 teams and divisions which protects the ACC from a raid if it comes to pass that the playoff favors teams that win CCG's

If it's 3 pods of five will look like this:
UConn, Cuse, Pitt, BC, Louisville
FSU, Miami, GT, Clemson, Wake
UNC, NC State, Duke, Virginia, VA Tech

Top 2 ranked teams will play CCG.

Plus 15 teams in football (w/ the pod system) would mean an even 16 teams in all other sports with ND.

It is really hard to argue against those pods.
