We Don't Chase Victories, Victories Chase Us

[pj]

Victory flirts with those who make once-a-week passes at her, but she gives herself to those who aim for excellence in everything they do.

If we pursue excellence faithfully, Victory will pursue us.

The Boneyard is populated by drunken Friday night closing time gropers, who put their all into pickup for three hours a week, and then go home with nothing to show for the week but a paycheck wasted on flat beer.

Coach Diaco is pursuing excellence, from the top of the roster to the bottom. The wins will come. Let the master work.

Seriously you guys have weak stomachs.

I suppose that's better than daydreaming at your desk while the market crashes.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!
Winners never quit, quitters never win.
There's no I in TEAM!

When do people who don't like the uniforms quit?

 

[RedStickHusky]

this is funny but I was thinking earlier that 'we won't cut corners' sounds a lot like 'we take the stairs.'

I am okay with the football program chasing victories for a while until victory is conditioned to start chasing us back.

 

[RedStickHusky]

lol - can't argue with that. can't really throat punch victory can we?

 

[RedStickHusky]

When do people who don't like the uniforms quit?

Quit not liking the uniforms? Or quit whining about them?

This is stupid.

We have 13 wins in 3+ seasons.

 

[RedStickHusky]

think of it as a vision statement

You have to act like winners before you can win. Conceive, believe, achieve.

You guys should get jobs working for a place that superimposes inspirational thoughts over pictures of kittens hanging from branches.

Hide behind a bush and then club the victory in the head when it ambles past. Or, put a rope loop on the ground and then tie the other end to the top of a tree - when the victory steps in the loop, the tree snaps up and you can just go cut the victory down. (Saw that one in a roadrunner cartoon.) Or, get a mannequin and make sure it's showing some leg - the victory will get those crazy spinning eyes and come running over where you can grab it. (Heckle and Jeckle.)

There's more than one way to skin a cat, you guys.

You aren't a big fan of Ollie, are you?

He is always talking this way.

I'm a fan of Diaco and Ollie.

It's the posters here that annoy me .

 

[RedStickHusky]

I've been out looking for pictures of kitten hangings. Nothing good yet though.

I wish people would stop taking Ollie's quotes and sticking them into places where they make absolutely no sense. Victories aren't "chasing" UConn Football.

And since we're apparently in an exhibition season that I didn't know existed before HCBD told me about it last weekend, we aren't chasing victories until Week 4 either. But yeah...ten toes in and we take the stairs and whatever else. Woo hoo!

 

[CTBasketball]

This isn't a Disney movie. The best scenario will usually never turn out - so we will either crash and burn or get better. But getting better won't be a day/night change. PP and GDL erased 10+ years of foundation building from this program.

She sure is motivating.

Was there a topic under discussion? I am a bit lost..

Too many words in that pic.

Victory isn't easy. Victory is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it bad, cause it's gonna put up a fight.

 

[Rocktheworld]

I mean the football team did almost get as many victories last year as the basketball team has championships... I get and appreciate the sentiment but this is the kind of stuff you say after you've actually acheived something.

This is like some loser who hasn't even kissed a girl saying that women chase him.
