When losses don’t draw a reaction

Playing Jesuit schools wont make UConn get better talent than Gaffney, Bouknight, and Akok.

Playing Jesuit schools wont make UConn "overcome" having to develop the team.

It simply takes time to establish a regime and get old. It's like that in Jesuit leagues too.

All true. But we would save on travel and help our strength of schedule.

Are there really people on here that want Danny to fail? It's tough to be patient and losing stinks. I think we all just want to be good again. If anyone's rooting for failure please step forward.

Its a deep ocean.if it sunk a few years ago there would be no where to go but up. My fear is we are getting worse each year, heading back to pre Calhoun territory

Whaler, you're generally right in your musings about the program, but I feel like you revel in the disaster lol

As Michael Ray Richardson said , " The ship be sinking"

You left off the best part of it.

Reporter: What do you think is happening to the team?
Richardson: The ship be sinking.
Reporter: How far can it sink?
Richardson: Sky's the limit.

There are a handful of posters I enjoy tweaking...

How casual the attitude towards losing has become is just a normal musing.

Most people don't even know our league exists, Big East has clout. You think flying back and forth across the country to Florida directional schools and Oklahoma is good for the team and good for our exposure/recruiting?

Lol at “Florida directional schools” (USF came from the Big East before the name was recycled and it christened itself a “Holyland”)
Those brands are more well-established than a lot of brands on the collegiate landscape.
“Going to Oklahoma” sure didn’t hurt things with the currently Top 20 ranked class coming in right now.
Get lost with the hurting recruiting nonsense. That’s not what we are seeing.
Truth is, the states that are the lifeblood of the most important sports UConn plays (football, baseball, and to some extent basketball) are in that region. The best recruits come from the warm weather states, and that’s where the $ is.
Your whole crusade is rooted in arrogance. To really think the school should settle long-term for LESS than half the TV money (FS1 4 million $ contract) because you don’t like playing a team UConn has been playing since 2004 because they have an S in their name.
All your anecdotal Dick Vitale BS only makes you look unhinged.

When there were 4-8 losses per year you had to get your rage out in less opportunities. Now it’s the same amount of rage spread out over 15 losses.

For me, it's emptiness. My rage is gone.
