Wagner Bryant crowd fight

[How Sway?!]

Does Dan engage with fans when taunted, and act like a whiney child in general? Yep. Does he set a good example of how to keep your emotions in check? Nope.

Or maybe their kid applied to both a state school and one of the schools listed here, got into both, and their kid chose the state school as the better fit for them? This thread contains some of the dumbest, most judgement things I’ve ever read. Maybe not all mommys and daddys choose the school for their kid? Maybe they preferred the smaller setting? Moronic.

Imagine complaining about the takes in this thread and then having a take like this. Guess we found the XL heckler.

None? Bouknight? No secret I love our players, but not a fan of DH.

We haven't had issues on the court. You can't seriously expect our coaching staff to regulate every stupid decision college kids make off the court.

The XL Heckler….sounds like the nemesis to a superhero. I like it!

How about a couple feet off of it?

 

[Dean Wormer]

It's terrible, horrible - a disgrace to the game. But yeah, anyways I watched the whole thing. Twice.

A better view:

Is it wrong to like, watch this on a loop for 10 minutes straight, like an amateur Zabgruder film? Should I not do that?

 

[CheshireCat]

Exactly. Rose colored glasses. No, you can’t have your eye on everything 24x7, but in a position of leadership you are held accountable, and it’s a reflection of your leadership regardless. True far beyond coaching.

There might be one or two people who haven’t heard you mention it yet. Maybe work it into another thread if you can.

As someone living about 10-15 minutes from Bryant on the MA side, Providence people are like Boston people but with an inferiority complex. They are a fight waiting to happen. It's the inferiority complex that escalates things when they are issuing a beat-down like this on the court.

88% of Bryant's enrollment is from outside RI. Northeastern states such as MA, NY, and CT each make up a bigger portion of Bryant's student body than RI.

 

[Pudge]

You are AH. It simply is not true and a far far variance from most of our reality. The University was top notch for those who applied themselves and worked. Could you spend 7 years in the Jungle? Sure. Today's UCONN is a direct descendant of the students from the 1970 era.

I have degrees from UCONN & UCLA. I guarantee you the rigor of a UCONN degree was greater; in most disciplines. Why? I rarely had 200-500 student lecture hall classes in Storrs past the first year; in English, they demanded I write ... a lot. The calculus required for my degree was stiffer than UCLA. The Professors were excellent. UCLA IS THE NUMBER ONE PUBLIC. I knew the contrast.

Just refuting what another poster said about no discipline issues under Hurley. Sorry to point out the truth and give your thin skin another boo boo.

 

[CL82]

It wasn't a very good fight. Give me Perdo versus Zimmer any day.

Wait, the old Saturday Night Live announcer had a fight with Zim?

That's because the locals go to ccri.

Discipline, as in, bad behavior on the court. Bouk has some off the court issues, but I don't remember him, or any other players in the Hurley era, showing bad sportsmanship.

Hurley can be fairly criticized for lots of things, but we don't see clownish on court behavior like Kiss'

and in the early/mid 80s. Everyone's safety school.

Agreed. I was accepted by some pretty good engineering programs out of high school, but UConn rejected me. I would have had to start as a business or English major, or something like that, and work my way into the engineering school. (I elected to go to another engineering school for 1.5 years until UConn accepted me - hence the handle)

That’s why I’ve said I love the players and not a fan of the coach. Sadly, the players have handled adversity better than DH. You see them pulling DH away when he can’t keep his cool. Complains to the media about refs - not good sportsmanship. Swallow your pride, credit the other team and move on. Lead by example - he’s showing his players that it’s ok to act like that. It’s fine to be fiery and emotional. There are plenty of coaches that do it with far more class.

 

[EnochRoot]

The irony (to those ragging on UConn’s stature at some previous points in time) is that every freakin school short of Oxford is somebody’s fallback option.

 

[Pudge]

OK Dude

Like you have any credibility in anything related to academics

 

[Pudge]

I am guessing you are younger than 50. Because that you cut & paste is a Political statement. Someone is pumping up their shirt or blouse and making this on data boosted by state legislature funding: which we know rose from the push from the Calhoun/Auriemma buzz.

You don't remember the guys who came back from Vietnam that we met when we arrived. It is total BS from you ... because you weren't there. You dare to tell Pharmacy kids - a school that was top 5 in the 70s that it was a safety? You accept this like a putz talking about Jewish lasers. The Finance staff was Nationally recognized in the late 70s. The strong Psychology department; the rising of Education to Neag; the high regard of the Nurses produced. On & on.

There is NO doubt that the campus became run down and had very little capital budget for decades. Guess what? You will not find peer Universities spending money during that period either. It was not something politicians or educators prioritized. Simple test: go number the major 100 universities who built new arenas like Gampel between 1970 and 1990; it wasn't a period anyone was building. UConn - to make you laugh - royally screwed up on a Library and wrapped it in plastic for 15 years.

Go ahead and accept your view. Seems like we are in an age of guys living in their own Private self absorbed space shooting at whatever history they can make up.

Haha! You're talkin' some shinola now

 

[Pudge]

You are just being a ignorant ace. You don't know and you spout nonsense. It is useless explaining real life experiences of those of us who were there. Because you know it all ... you know-nothing.

When people start throwing around “class” you know they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.
