converrl's post
Is it just me, or does the thread he started have the tone of someone who is a fan of another school coming over to congratulate UC fans? Must be a bitter pill for him to swallow seeing success from a Mick Cronin coached team.

Yes thought the exact same thing. He's made posts similar to this in the past that have had me wondering. This one is a dead giveaway IMO.

Same here. Almost like it was sarcastic.

RE: converrl's post
I know he really is a UC basketball fan, he was so upset about the Huggins firing that he can not accept a coach hired by Thomas/Zimpher. Even when Thomas left he made a comment about "just one more to go" in reference to Mick. I just find it odd that he can't accept Mick so much that he actually sounds like someone who is the fan of another school. Kind of sad that he will not be able to truly enjoy this season and the run they have made.

Dead giveaway is the use of "you" rather than "we".

He is just like Don, sadly. Not truly a fan of the school, obviously. Which, frankly, shocks me since he works at University Hospital.

Yeah, seems a bit forced. I like how he tried to turn it to talking about X.

RE: converrl's post
I don't see it that way at all.
I think he was addressing the Coach and team directly, congratulating them for their success.
He then opens it up and poses some questions to other posters.
Seems to me Converrl has come a long way from the dark old days.

Well... Antonio Poole's mother also supposedly works at UC Hospital, and we all see what happened there
