UConn...

[suttree]

Don't be ridiculous. It was not a conference game. The game was on SNY. If it was conference game it would have been on the cooking channel.

This is a truly fine post. Hats off, Sir Dasher.

Lol. People may dislike Fishy, though I remember him mostly fondly (it helps to have a stand up comic's SOH) but who can't help but like Tom?

BFD. Guy loathes us and constanty takes shots at our program

That's a fact, yet we are supposed to be congenial because of our former rivalry.

It's not really because of our former rivalry, but the period BEFORE that, when we were semi friendly rivals. I used to spend a lot of time on The Boneyard in the 90s, before they started winning titles in 1999, or at least before the second one, in 2004, right after we won our first. I think that really soured our schools' relationship but I could be wrong.

I rooted for them in '99 when we were conference rivals, but something soured. Can't put my finger on when it happened.
Edit- fandom by nature can be vitriolic, but they make our jibes against Georgetown seem genteel.

Looking forward to those Huskies taking another turd on their home floor tonight!

That would be too much to ask for.

I became the biggest Duke fan for that game, was genuinely pissed that Uconn won.

In retrospect, it might have had something to do with my bracket.

I really think the 2004 second NCAA, RIGHT AFTER we won our first since the 1920s, which evened the score between the schools, was the breaking point for me. Also that JB had a reputation as a sour puss, partly deserved but we all know the heart of gold underneath. Would Juli have married him otherwise?

Whereas Calhoun was a and didn't get blamed for being so. A good coach obviously but at what price? Even Boneyard posters complained about him running off players. I don't think JB has done that without cause, meaning either disciplinary/academic/medical reasons or the recent NCAA debacle which wasn't his fault and I think OGBJ20 would vouch for that!

Can anyone cite where JB let a scholarship player go just because he was a disappointment on the court?

They are playing Northeastern on Monday night. We'll see if Yukon is any good. Northeastern has Alex Murphy who played at Duke/Florida and another kid who scored 30 points in their first game.

Yukon currently losing in this game in the first half. Might have to check out the Boneyard.

UConn trailing Northeastern 35-31 at halftime. Bwahahaha. And what's better is that Northeastern is shooting 34% from the field and still beating these clowns.

 

[NKR1978]

They're down by 4 at the half. Is there anyone who has a whinier face than Kevin Ollie?

And gotta love SNY's 90's graphics.

 

[dasher]

This must be one of those you get a home game and we get the next two for Northeastern to be playing at UConn tonight. Really impressed with UConn. They are hanging right with Northeastern. Might have caught Northeastern looking past them.

I wonder who Calhoun is rooting for.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

I'm thinking this is turning into the all-inclusive Uconn dumpster thread.

 

[NKR1978]

They look in control, but what a sad crowd.

I would be honored to have started the UConn dumpster thread.

Hello fine sir. Can I interest you in the Kevin Ollie School for Diminutive Guards? Want to hear more...

we have a comprehensive plan for diminutive guards to have a just fine college career:

• dribble a lot. as much as you want actually.
• fall down a lot, preferably make cry face and shoot free throws if convincing enough.
• we only recruit forwards and centers to rebound and block shots, so don't worry about perimeter defense.
• make cry face.

4 simple steps, and you too, can achieve all your dreams at the Kevin Ollie School for Diminutive Guards!

Oh and for some extra lol's, Wagner is losing to UMass-Lowell.

 

[Widget24]

Wow. UConn is bad. REALLY bad.

 

[Jack Hall]

They are clueless against NEs zone, lol

That ball was off the UConn kid. These announcers would make Pravda blush.
