Message: [QUOTE="normaliswear, post: 832972, member: 1478"] Ok... I'm not going to nitpick the details because that was an actual honest rational response which has been lacking so thanks for that. As I've said, my belief is you're fine for about 5 years give or take, and then the kids you're trying to recruit will be too young to remember the status you once held in basketball. With the B1G taking Rutgers I don't see you getting in there. Your best bet would still be ND going in full to the ACC and being 16. But thats just my opinion so I can't object to disagreement. So here's my personal olive branch to UConn fans. We like our program and history, you like yours... fine. It was a great rivalry and speaking for myself, I considered it a relatively friendly one until realignment really took hold. I even have an account on the boneyard, that I haven't used in a long while, with quite a few likes on it from friendly talks there. But it seems like realignment has made you folks bitter beyond belief. And for some reason that ire seems to be focused on Syracuse... as if UConn wouldn't have jumped had they been offered. The truth is we look at you and think "there but for the grace of God go we." We have a great home now and we're glad. We think we bring the ACC, or anywhere else we could have gone, a lot. But we're also not Texas or Notre Dame where conferences revolve around us like planets around the sun. I see UConn like that old movie cliche where sailors are trapped on a sinking sub and one guy has to make the decision to seal the hatch with his buddy still inside or else everyone would drown lol. If Blumenthal wasn't such a last realignment or if your fans would stop being such d!cks now you'd have a lot more friends trying to help you out of Sub AAC... but with everyone UConn related always screaming and b!tching... we're starting to be ok with letting ya drown.
