Nice commentary, right on point and I despise naysayers. My ass will be in the seats at 20-5 or 5-20. I go to every home game and many away. I apologized to you and NOT the others. However I was impressed by the credentials of an individual (you know who you are! Yeah ya do ha)! that psychoanalyzed me from a post or two. He has the mods (moderators), he chose the cool shortened version, releasing me for the big pent up RANT that he diagnosed that I needed and felt that was coming. So basically he knows who I am and what I'm all about from a few words. He chose to negate my apology to YOU and chose to stick with what I wanted to put behind us. I don't know whether that apology was received and accepted, but I FELT that you did and that YOU weren't going to continue the insignificant battle. I've read many of your posts and I respect your knowledge and opinions, so I are crow publicly. Not good enough for the psychiatrist. He FEELS. That I'm just a powder keg ready to explode ha! I'm an athlete as well, not just a bobber that never played, yet is an expert. I played basketball at a D2 college in New Hampshire and averaged 21 ppg as a Freshman, thought I was good enough to play for Perno and O'Brien with Corny, Mike McKay and the Morris Mountain, so I transferred home. I wasn't but I played.?m I then played football in the Yankee Conference for Walt Nadzak at Memorial Stadium, so I'm invested. I've coached for 49 years with kids, I've won a National AAU CHAMPIONSHIP, well I coached, the players won! My Dad graduated from Storrs in 1951 after serving in WWII. He was the Alumni President at UConn, so understand, UConn is life, it's so enormous to my existence that when things are this bad, with a horrible conference that we can't get out of, or even win for that matter, players leaving (that weren't NBAplayers anyway), we lose recruit after recruit, have a President that
can't buy a clue, we get blackballed by the bottom feeder of the ACC, the Big East is gone for all intents and purposes, the trip to NYC with my now 91 year old Dad, my Son and theee of the same die hards that NEVER missed ONE trip to the tournament and was more important than any one stretch of any year, the cupboard is bare for 2018, we were rightly mentioned by the top officials and commentators with the Duke!s, Carolina's, Kentucky's of the World, but that train has left the station, FOUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS since 1999, I could go on, but the haters that own this site are already warming up with their pot shots. I flat lined 3 times in 2012, I survived the WIDOWMAKER which some doctors say only 1 in 1000 survive, my 91 year old Dad has Parkinson's and is failing, my wife has Cancer, my 90 year old Mom is really slowing down, has multiple illnesses, my dog, the absolute love of my life is 12 and her back legs are going, my vehicle is a piece of that I got hosed on, my Uncle & Aunr died within hours of wach other this year, my Cousin, a former Green Beret shot himself in the head and killed himself, my Sisters husband and soul mate died of a heart attack at 41 leaving behind my 2 year old niece who found him on the bathroom floor at 2 in the morning, I view each day as a gift. I still have my parents, I lived long enough to see my little girl get married, I'm trying to keep my best friend pup alive at an enormous expense but she has a quality of life still and it's not time, I've worked at the same job for 38 years that is one where there is no guaotgat when I kiss my wife good bye in the morning that I will return home, my Son is a 6'4" 330 lb former D1 football player with a great job and I have an extremely strong faith base. I'm so sorry to provide you know who with a portion of my story and WHO I AM, but let's call this my RANT! I feel a little bad about the length of this thing (not really) everyone has the ability to stop reading. So UConn yes they are my passion, yes I do get frustrated and yes how UConn goes my life goes. UConn is the glue for my Father Son relationship as well. We suffer but then again, I lived not only to see my baby girl get married to the best Son in Law on the planet, but I also got a 2014 in there to boot ha! So to my friend in MA I hope we're good and to my shrink that I have to let down easy and state publicly, YOU'RE FIRED! I look forward to your next reply though. I can finally say that I was diagnosed by THAT GUY! and you are definitively THAT GUY! Ladies & Gentleman that's part of me, thank you and please remain seated, in just too damn tired of long standing O's! I'm waiting for my battery to die and lose all of this. It would be right up there with the best things that ever happened to you guys ha! God bless, go ahead and have some fun at my expense.
