No, I don't think anyone in this thread has. I mentioned them above but did not mean to imply via reference that they are a blue blood program.

If you have read this thread, people on this thread have poked holes in UConn's resume bc they don't always get in the big dance. Consistency is great but give me the wider variance everytime. I am more into FB so I would say both Gailey and TFG brought consistency. But I enjoyed the ups and...

It's weird but I had them going all the way as well as FAU, SDState, and Miami all in the Final Four. I thought I hit submit when entering the challenge here but apparently did not. I will be happy to upload a photo of my completed bracket if anyone calls my integrity into question. ;)

This is analogous to the Gailey vs. Johnson debate from a few years back on the FB board. For me, I would rather have UConn's program over a Gonzaga any day of the week. I would take a few wins over Uga and some Orange Bowls with the occasional losing season over a steady diet of 7 wins and low...

I saw an interesting stat this weekend. Only 3 times in the last 16 (iirc) years has a team won it all that wasn't a 1 or 2 seed. All 3 times it has been UConn. I say they are a blue blood as they have won nattys under two different coaches. That says they have the infrastructure in place and is...

I teach out of state at a private high school where (some/most of ) the kids are striving to get into the best schools in the US and abroad. I have to say, the current data makes the students and their parents make some assumptions about me that aren't true, although I generally keep my mouth...

I only saw the first half but I was thinking of our game against them in the finals. It’s similar to the phrase we heard recently in football…. BPBUSP. All other things being equal the taller player(s) win. Plus UConn must go 10-12 players deep with no drop off.

Agreed...those guys are type A, goal oriented people. They don't take the cash and lay on the sofa although many of us probably would. I'm pretty sure Brady doesn't need to play QB anymore to put food on his table and I would hope guys like Pastner and Collins had a good money guy. If so, they...

I love the fact that my candidate is still very much in the hunt here. As I said, I am not holding grudges with people who ae voting for the other guy. But, if you ain't picking one of these two, it's like dragging Arnie or Hogan or Hagen's name into the Jack vs. Tiger conversation. Just don't...

From a "check the box" (i.e balancing sports to meet Title 9) I do agree that gof would be cheaper than soccer.However I am still adamant that we add nothing to we either -A) are forced to do so to remain in compliance or B) we dig out of our current situation (overall financially and/or current...

@slugboy, regarding paragraph 1, what do youu feel is an "advantage" to having an additional sport, me or women's? Regarding paragraph 3, I can't imaging a "cheaper" sport than soccer from an expense standpoint but why would we add to our debt burden as we know going in this will not be a net...

I have nothing against soccer (and certainly NOT women!!!!!) but does it make sense to add another negative revenue sport now given where we are financially? I would argue that we fix existing issues before adding any more to our plate but would like to hear a counter argument as to why adding...

I have seen her (in concert) many times as well over the years. I am undecided if I liked her with the Hot Band or SpyBoy better. But that's akin to choosing to the current emotional debate raging in the FB forum trying to choose between Collins or Lewis imo, albeit a much more pleasant...

No. You will not. EmmyLou needs me and not you. This is serious and I am prepared to fight. Pick any Waffle House and set the time and date. Let's do this. I have always bent over backwards to present an illusion of civilty and polite discourse. But youu have crossed the line my friend. Let's...

My first celebrity crush. I have been unable to overcome it after all these decades.

Holy ****. I heard this on Sirius XM radio the other day. Whatever the hillbilly/redneck equivalent to gangsta rap is called, if it even has a name, this is an example....and it predates the gangsta stuff by several decades. Johnny Paycheck is a legend but this song (obviously) didn't get much...

Believe it's a Bachelor of Science degree in Building Construction iirc.

I second this. Don't be ashamed. Those of us who root for the Jackets bc we got out from there have a deep respect for those of you who have chosen to don the hair shirt willingly, although I have to confess that we talk about y'all in secret when we are amongst ourselves and think y'all are...

Mods, can we just call it a tie between the two esteemed candidates and go ahead and lock this thread? There is so much passion involved in this poll between the backers of each candidate ;) that things may get out of hand. Suggestions for the next pole: - Jones or Hamilton? - Cremins or Ross...

Just curious about your second sentence. I don't get how meeting PJ's agent is relevant to anything else in your rant????
