When did the Boneyard become VolNation?

I am not trying to put you on the spot, talking about how a player plays, ie "Flopping", lack of effort...is not making fun of someone, its a basketball discussion. If someone calls out someones appearance, nationality, religion, etc...should be taken down by the mods. ( Muffets name is silly, lol)
However, me pointing out that ND or Tenn fans rubbing a painful loss in our face, and that those people should be ignored,should not ruffle any feathers.

Just because you haven’t seen things mean they don’t exist?

well, thats why I asked for examples. If one is suggesting the BY is a "nastier" place than the other mentioned forums or is becoming one because of one loss; I don't see that.
 
First of all, why is a TN fan allowed to come onto a UConn forum and criticize (insult) UConn fans? Second, maybe seeing ref bias for ND (or anti-Geno) for so long has people cranky. Third, while I think the Geno criticisms are often ignorant and way overdone, he isn't god and does make mistakes. I am OK with people questioning him and I am OK with people calling out those whose criticisms are absurd, as they often are. Geno may make mistakes but he is still the best of all time and you have trust that the man is right more often than not.
 
To the moderator that dinged me for a personal attack, you should actually take the spirit of the thread and then consider that my post was so outrageous that it had to be sarcasm.... or I had gone insane. At the very least, we should be able to message you directly rather than address this incident like this.Head bang

To JordyG, I hope you weren't offended by my post and took it in the spirit in which it was intended... purely sarcastic. :)
 
Let me start by adding my opinion to some of the opinions already posted here. This thread sucks.

The Mods have made it clear that posters of all fan bases are welcome here as long as they are considerate that this is a Uconn board. They, non Uconn fans, add perspective that is missing from other forums and make this board a more interesting place. I have no idea as to whether SVCB is a Tenn fan or not. And I don't care. It would be nice if all posters identified there home team in there avatar or motto, most of the good ones do, or make it clear in their postings. But it is not required. Witch hunts are nasty things, they tend to bite you in the ass.

I take a backseat to no one (except meyers7, nobody beats him in this category) in my utter disdain for Tennessee. But I respect most of the Tenn posters. I'll just leave it at that. If any poster is a Troll it becomes known to all eventually.

And it is possible to be very familiar with the history of this board with a recent join date. I've been lurking on this board for more than 10 years before I became active.

There is no humor in this thread, there is no education in this thread, so I'll just go away now.
 
Never, but it will hopefully never be a place where other teams fans can get away with trying to make excuses for obvious events and actions that seem to completely benefit their team and clearly affect ours. We are UCONN .... HUSKIES.

The tourney loss was a temporary downer. For about an hour. But the current mood on this board is an ongoing downer, and can push loyal members away. Perhaps it already has.

Have a look at my avatar. At the time I created this thread my avatar clearly contained Kia and Gabby. Anyone who thought I was a TENN fan, they are ... well ... pity the offspring. :rolleyes::D
