Yard’s Current Mental State

[jibsey]

The Yard’s enthusiasm barometer is off the charts, highest since April 2014 (please see the charts on The Weather Channel App). We passed the early tests with flying colors and I haven’t been as excited about our team’s players and potential since…forever, but could we actually get beaten out there by a team other than Creighton? No. Or at least not from what I have been reading from posts the last couple days.
So should we run into a Teddy Allen clone I have assembled counselors and a suicide prevention hotline just for this unlikely event. Of course should that team be Providence or St. John’s we’re all going to need medication and lots of it. I will not address a losing streak at this time because it’s unfathomable. Never hurts to be prepared.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Doomed.

 

[Scot-e]

I admit to being happy - I’m going to enjoy it as long as it lasts.

 

[MTBingNinja]

I’m over the moon.
Let’s beat Creighton.
Win the Big East regular season.
Win the BE tournament.

I’ve come to trust the transfer portal process. Sad to see some players leave but gives us an opportunity to reload where we need it.

Worried about making a run in March Madness. Now is the time. Need to show up and win.

Whatever Bill Walton is on…

 

[Northbound]

Been fun so far that’s for damn sure.

 

[Deepster]

You better get that Judge ready for a March run. Last year's efforts were unimpressive.

 

[Brochacho]

I saw something about cocaine bears on twitter and that’s probably where I’m at

 

[REB1094]

I had to take melatonin to fall asleep Sunday night because I was refreshing my Twitter search for “UConn” every minute

One game at a time.. Respect your opponents. As a famous philosopher once said.. "Keep trying. Stay humble. Trust your instincts. Most importantly, act.. When you come to a fork in the road--Take it." Yogi Berra

I have to admit, this beats the crap out of the alternative!

We're a fragile bunch, but I don't care what anyone says, I'm not pumping no damn brakes. Being relevant is a weighty responsibly and it is hard to anything done that is non-UConn related.

You may not go there.

Others may.

 

[80shusky]

Less psycho than normal. Making me uncomfortable a little.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Only thing that could make this better is if we got to play Syracuse this year too.

Have to settle for Georgetown I guess.

Well, in his defense, the old guy bailed at the last minute, came back and half assed it and then bailed again while crapping all over the process on his way out the door. Disappointing, to say the least.

[Waquoit]

Rationally Exuberant is what I'm going with.

[Waquoit]

Doomed.

I'm thinking doomed is past it's sell-by date. The joke is stale. We have grit and pluck in spades but we don't depend on it to win. I'm so bored with " doomed" and the "everyone is out to screw UConn" nonsense. Isn't having a great team that looks like it can create it's own destiny the perfect time to retire that crap for good. We've won 4 title in 23 years, more that anyone. Seeing UConn fans playing the victim is a cringe. Real bluebloods don't play the victim. It takes away from the great play of the team.

 

[dennismenace]

Big East will be a challenge. Lots of unfriendly crowds at away games. Just glad that we have a very deep and unselfish team that has demonstrated an ability to play for 40 mins. That is very refreshing.
I am planning to enjoy the ride because this is the best team we have had in a long, long time. Love seeing them pick each other up.

 

[auror]

I'm keeping my preseason expectations in mind and not getting carried away. If we reach the BET final and get to the second weekend, I'm going to consider this a very successful season.

Double doomed.

If you've issued an official retirement statement, I must've missed it.

 

[SoFla Steve]

As my brother said, "One tourney championship down, two to go!"

 

[bmayuc]

Me since Alabama game

 

[huskeynut]

I was cautiously optimistic at the start of the season. Not sure we had all the right piece. Lots of new faces and couple of promising freshman.

Now I'm all in. The PK Tournament was the statement needed. This team is going to be fun to watch.

Joke? You, sir, are an offense to the mojo.

What's not to like? Undefeated. Blowing out opponents. Bringing home trophies. Playing a beautiful brand of basketball. New faces are delivering on their promise. Veterans playing like veterans. We even faced -and overcame- a little adversity with the loss of Hawk and Dre early in the season.

Nothing lasts forever especially in sports. Upsets and WTE lossses are part of life. There will be bumps in the road. However, WE'RE FANS! Our calling card is irrational exuberance. Go Huskies.
