Uconn and Cinci

[tykurez]

I am willing to forgive UConn fans for their transgressions. I really am. All they have to do is the following:
1. start a bonfire in their backyard. throw all UConn gear, memorabilia, Jim Calhoun books, VCR tapes of games, etc. into fire.
2. officially renounce UConn to friends and family. Appear contrite. apologize profusely, cry for forgiveness.
3. cut all ties with other UConn fans, including familiy members.
4. apply for membership in Cuse nation, terms of which are: 10 year probation period during which you cannot wear orange or attend games at dome. donate 10% of income during probation to charity in name of Jim B. Get to know a Cuse fan in your town and perform chores for him/her during weekend. one three month mission in CT during which you go door to door preaching the Orange cause.

None of this will bring back the rings that UConn stole from us, but I believe in redemption. is the price high? what price do you put on your soul?

If you want to understand the history of BE basketball and the dychotomy of JC and JB, watch the movie "No Country for Old Men". JB is the Tommy Lee Jones characther. An upstanding, play by the rules sort. He thought he undertood evil. But he never reckoned he'd see what was coming down the pike. Calhoun is the guy with the funny haircut. Can you image being a recruit and saying no to that guy? This new unholy manifestation of evil set us back temporariry. But there is a new chapter, and it starts now.

Do Syracuse fans even take this guy seriously? We have someone on our board just like this (only reverse).

I'm willing to bet it's actually the same person.

I'm wiling to bet it's actually the same person.

Hey I'm all for piling on Uconn but that stuff is pretty ridiculous.

I am fully entertained by this, you are awesomely special.

What good are regular season records if you don't finish them off with strong showings in the tourny. I hate Yukon, but...I'm not sure we should be trying to "match resumes" with them in recent history.

Sample size.

It's the same reason Phillie fans b*tch when they don't go the WS every year (mainly the last 2); "we were the best team in the NL for 162 games, so because we lost 4 of 7 in a week and a half stretch in October we can't represent the NL?". Yes, UConn does have the title in the last 3 years, but we saw last year with VCU (and even UConn and Butler) that it's whoever is hottest in March that cuts down the nets. Unfortunately we have not been that team since 03, but any given year you can get hot.

I refuse to back down to UConn fans. That's just my style. I also don't make it a habit of judging other Cuse fans. I love the appeasers as much of the ones with backbones. There's room for both of us in this tent.
