the link was to show you the rating for the teams in detail....and what the average game looks like

you put a link that showed a general season average without any context of opponent, time or channel....and use that as facts as to why espn would force us to keep uconn football...

but clout my link are as ridiculous when it adds all the context and you can look at individual data of games....

im sure espn is just going to use a blind season averages because they are dumb like that....

and the sad part is that YOUR link clearly notes that it got its information from the links i posted

you can believe whatever you want... this encounter has shown you are beyond reason

Your links didn't actually point me to that data! haha. I am not going to dig around that site for it. YOU find the exact page on there and YOU link it! I have better things to do.

Your complete arrogance and toolbag attitude make my head hurt. What a clown show. Now if you will excuse me, I need to hit the men's room. I hope that they refilled the Coog High diploma dispenser in there.

I don't always agree with pesik but he doesn't deserve your tirade in this post.

My tirade is the result of frustration as this board allows these types of threads to be posted by the original poster (a known troll) and then everyone else hops on to take a dump on UConn. If someone is going to dump on UConn for something that they have an opinion about, then I don't see why I can't take a dump back. If it is my tone that you were concerned with, well that is how it is up north. We don't play the passive aggressive game that pesik was playing. We call it like it is. If someone is being a tool to me, then I will note it. If someone is going have a condescending opinion on the quality of my football team, I should be free to have a condescending opinion as to the quality of the education provided by his/her school.

The problem is that, on dozens of occasion, the UConn fans on this board have asked the mods to either ban BE4evah or move his threads immediately to the smack boards (where they belong). He posts this kind of garbage at least twice a week. So, can the mods agree to do that?

Anyone who knows me here knows that I am usually pretty level headed. However, I won't get pushed around by those who act high and mighty with their opinion and can't back it up with numbers. So, give respect to get respect.

As other UConn fans can attest, what made the "old" Big East special was that there was a "we're all in this together" attitude. There would be some smack, but it wasn't the type of blatant put downs that the posters from some of the schools here spew. It is like an endless urinating contest here. In the old Big East, all of the football schools would pull for each other. There was no need to measure our genitals against each other every single second. It gets old. Really old.

Speak for yourself. UH Baseball is a jewel of the athletic department, a source of pride, and matters a great deal to a lot of UH people.

As does ECU baseball. A lot of ECU fans would lay the basketball program at the alter for sacrifice before anyone dare touch baseball.

I just wish you guys would get to the CWS; been rooting for your guys to get there for what seems like 20 years now. Great program; conisistent winner, but just never seem to get to Omaha and there have manner years you had the teams to do it.

The schools who aren't shooting for the Big 12 invite, still have that we're in this together attitude. I'm glad to be here with all of you guys and your schools, as long as everyone is hoping to make this a better conference instead of looking for the first ship out.

You make a good point. UConn fans aren't getting trolled by Tulsa, Temple, Navy, USF, and most UCF fans (even if UCF may be positioning itself for a Big 12 invite).

I agree with this and say it every time the OP shows up. It is a known UCONN troll and basher. What's amazing is all of the " we all root for each other, except when going head to head " nonsense that is spouted on this board, yet a UCONN soccer coach makes a comment and people go off the rails bashing UCONN. I do not mind a good smack talk thread or what have you, but every thread? Nope.

RE: UCONN soccer coach tears into AAC brethren
rtaylor, thanks for seconding my opinions on the OP and the fact that there is too much bashing on this board. It really is a world where it is the AAC vs the P5 and remaining G5. The AAC schools should stop beating each other down as it only hurts the perception of the AAC as a whole.

The OP (known UConn troll) at least needs to have his threads immediately move to the smack board.

Mods: Can this be done moving forward?

2 out of those 3 games were against BYU and Boise. I would hazard a guess that the Cougars and Broncos fan bases greatly helped with the ratings.

Oh brother... bitching about travel and commitment. I remember when the Big East expanded some coaches complained of trips to Marquette and DePaul. They're just going to complain - even if they were back in the Big East, they'd still be traveling all the way to Omaha, Nebraska... I doubt they're getting a direct flights their either!

If someone is going to dump on UConn for something that they have an opinion about, then I don't see why I can't take a dump back. If it is my tone that you were concerned with, well that is how it is up north. We don't play the passive aggressive game that pesik was playing. We call it like it is. If someone is being a tool to me, then I will note it. If someone is going have a condescending opinion on the quality of my football team, I should be free to have a condescending opinion as to the quality of the education provided by his/her school.

The problem is that, on dozens of occasion, the UConn fans on this board have asked the mods to either ban BE4evah or move his threads immediately to the smack boards (where they belong). He posts this kind of garbage at least twice a week. So, can the mods agree to do that?

Anyone who knows me here knows that I am usually pretty level headed. However, I won't get pushed around by those who act high and mighty with their opinion and can't back it up with numbers. So, give respect to get respect.

As other UConn fans can attest, what made the "old" Big East special was that there was a "we're all in this together" attitude. There would be some smack, but it wasn't the type of blatant put downs that the posters from some of the schools here spew. It is like an endless urinating contest here. In the old Big East, all of the football schools would pull for each other. There was no need to measure our genitals against each other every single second. It gets old. Really old.

The schools who aren't shooting for the Big 12 invite, still have that we're in this together attitude. I'm glad to be here with all of you guys and your schools, as long as everyone is hoping to make this a better conference instead of looking for the first ship out.

that's touching...brought a tear to my eye

Sniffing your man-crush's butt will do that to you.

lol keep defending Disco Diaco...you will probably be the first one calling for his head when he has his second or third 3-9 season in a row.

Hard for a team located in Connecticut to build a good football team constantly. If they can just win a few ooc games and win close to half of AAC that is a win, imo.

RE: UCONN soccer coach tears into AAC brethren
While everyone is slagging on the non-men's football/basketball stuff, realize that UConn is still funding the other sports (because that's what bigtime schools should do) but UConn is also bitter that while everyone is reaping the rewards of UConn women's BB (it pulls in quite a bit of money for ESPN--in fact, UConn's tier 3 womens' contract > ESPN AAC money) no one is investing in these sports.

The problem as UConn sees it is that men's hockey, women's basketball, and men's soccer draw a lot of fans. But UConn is making no money off of TV on these sports because ESPN bought up ALL AAC rights. This isn't how things worked in the BE. ESPN only had men's football and basketball.

So the other schools are benefiting but not investing. It's small time.

UConn needs good coaching.

The talent is there.

X and Os, not Jimmies and Joes.

UConn has a lot of kids in the NFL.

http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/m-foo...n-nfl.html

It used to be the second best BE school in producing pros, after Rutgers. It was well ahead of Louisville.

One year people kept pointing to the talent gap, and a bunch of UConn kids were drafted. ESPN draft night was UConn night.

The W/L record hasn't reflected the talent on the field, and that's on the coaches. Paul Pasqualoni could take Alabama's kids and he'd lose 8 games.

Yet somehow ucf's women's sports are winning and we still lead the AAC in all sports championships. #nobodyinvesting

UCF and USF are fully investing in their athletic departments. Both are very well-rounded.

I think the majority of AAC schools need to pony up (not an SMU reference) or start cutting programs that they can't or don't want to make the commitment to (similar to what Temple did).

I would be ecstatic if the American starting Hockey. I'd actually attend those games. Unfortunately, college hockey is not well populated outside of the club level.

We have a good club team. We also fielded a very competitive wrestling team ages ago. We need men's track

eh how about we just worry about getting more than two teams into the big dance right now in hoops and worry about doing better than 5-22 or whatever it was vs the P5 in football.

Let's just focus on these two things for now...
