We don't need the ACC

In other words, people should judge her based on results, not soaring platitudes.

So if you voted for Obama, want to play 3 Card Monte?

Humor aside, Herbst is in a no-win situation. She can't shape the decision-making process within ACC Boardrooms by appealing to the Media Cartel.

There's a truism in the private sector--the best candidates are usually recruited.

To mold yourself into an ideal candidate, UConn must clean house. Calhoun ran a filthy program that would make the Enron guys blush. His lieutenants took a dive for him and he walked away with a itty bitty slap on the wrist.

Secondly, the market for CT is not exactly in anyone's top 10. For all the chatter about NYC and tv deals, it's Football that ultimately drives the revenue. NY is pro-sports city and region. If anything, 'Cuse, ND and Army lay greater claim to the area than UConn.

Lastly, own up the bottle-throwing incident at the Rent. Your fans are obnoxious, criminally-violent and devoid of any decency. There were kids at that Game and you people used the opportunity to express your frustrations in the form of violence and vulgarity.

Shame on you.

okay, you're right, I did it. Now apologize for the broad based slur against everyone else. Thanks.

Lol. Thanks for stopping by.

Your attempt at making a point blew up into a ridiculously exaggerated & generalizing rant. Also threw in a political shot on a sports board to boot.

Must have been cathartic.

If you reelect Obama, you're ignorant of economic realities or simply enjoy panhandling.

If you think Herbst is doing a fine job because she favors the soap box over concrete results, then I really, really want to play 3 Card Monte with you.

Um...what are you talking about....we were overmatched at the Fiesta Bowl, but most teams would have been overmatched against OU, who opened this season as the #1 team in the country. We were also coached by someone who had something else on his mind.

Y'know, making posts like this could cause you to go blind...

Hey, at least Coach P was a couple of victories. We need a leader, not a resume.

The change in AD is considered a victory in most peoples eyes here. If anyone was asleep at the wheel on all this, it was our former long time AD. Herbst inherited a bit of a mess.

I'm withholding judgment on whether she's a star or a bust. No one has enough info to make a decision (not that it has ever stopped any of us - me included - before).

Agree with this, except for the "no-win" phrasing. She's definitely in a tough spot, but there is an opportunity to "win". Just gonna take some work and some time.

Disagree with this. Your comment is based on speculation and drawing a conclusion that supports your particular bias. It is not based on fact or anything substantial.

If anything, 'Cuse, ND and Army lay greater claim to the area (NYC) than UConn.

ND, yes. Cuse is on par I'd say. Army, not even close.

That's a pretty broad brush you're painting with. I was at that game. Didn't see anyhting of the sort. Not saying it didn't happen, just didn't happen around me. You're insult of all UConn fans would be true if there were 40,000 people throwing bottles at them. That's not what happened. If anything it was a few drunk idiots that did a despicable thing. To condemn an entire group for the alleged actions of a few speaks more to the person doing the condemning and their personal feelings for a school.

I was at the Beanpot back in the late 90's (forget the year, but BU beat BC). Outside, after the game, a bunch of BC fans (assuming they were students - looked that age range) started fighting w/ some BU fans (definitely alumni, much older than the BC fans). BC fans started with the verbals, then followed them across the street and 2 started shoving. Police broke it up before it really got started. Is that a condemnation of all BC fans, or just a group of f'ng morons acting like idiots? You should be ashamed.
