My thoughts for tomorrow's game

Thanks Dan

On what planet does VA have more talent than UCONN?

sdhusky

8/28/14 11:50am

On the one based upon annual recruiting rankings

lawboy

8/28/14 11:53am

You know players are not rated in the North East right?

sdhusky

8/28/14 11:59am

You know Virginia has more talent overall

Dan

8/28/14 12:02pm

When we last played VA, the rankings were even more skewed than now

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:04pm

Again, all you can do is point out singular examples

Dan

8/28/14 12:10pm

Last year's TX had a great name, but not elite talent.

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:14pm

Any time you have to say "sorry its true" means that you really dont

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:03pm

I stopped feeding this troll

Dan

8/28/14 3:06pm

Im Bored

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:11pm

With the great talent at UConn, how did they lose to Towson?

Dan

8/28/14 3:20pm

Bad coaching.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:21pm

in my opinion it's a FACT that there were not enough unheralded

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:27pm

What about the year before?

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:30pm

What about it?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:32pm

We have as many players drafted as we had wins (8)

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:36pm

You're right - your coach sucked too.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:43pm

Finally we agree.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:51pm

Whats an Oka for?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:58pm

a National Championship

sdhusky

8/28/14 4:04pm

Haha, pretty good one!

cougfromcali

8/28/14 4:57pm

Well, let me see ...

Dan

8/28/14 11:58am

Look - you don't know anything about how players are rated here....

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:00pm

You are not making a lot of sense. Sorry but I am confused

RaggaeCoug

8/28/14 12:02pm

VA players get rated by the services. UCONN players often don't

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:06pm

That sounds like sour grapes more than reality.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:05pm

Right. Because you are an expert of New England Football...

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:24pm

Have you ever considered that maybe you aren't much of one yourself?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:27pm

yup. It's a possibility that you are more familar with it.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:30pm

Why would I follow HS coaches in a football backwater like CT?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:33pm

Does New England reside in a differnt country and use different rules?

ToThineOwnSelfBeBlue

8/28/14 4:42pm

ESPN, Scout and Rivals rate the playes and classes

lawboy

8/28/14 12:04pm

Wrong.

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:10pm

No one is saying UConn does not have players in the NFL

Dan

8/28/14 12:11pm

Be honest...

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:16pm

I can make the same argument over BYU players.

lawboy

8/28/14 12:18pm

But UCONN has 3x the NFL talent BYU has over the last 7 years...

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:35pm

Not surprised. Was a crap period for BYU 2008-2012 draft wise.

lawboy

8/28/14 12:40pm

UCONN BB is a bigger deal than FB

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:13pm

Coaches dont use the rating systems -

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:11pm

Oh dear. I never act like an expert. I am an arm chair QB.

Dan

8/28/14 12:07pm

Are you claiming that New England players are rated as accurately?

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:19pm

Please. Stop trying to change the argument.

Dan

8/28/14 12:39pm

I'm not changing it. You are using an invalid measure.

sdhusky

8/28/14 12:57pm

The recruiting service do rank players from New England.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:14pm

I am learning so much from you.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:18pm

And I read that on missions player have gym time.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:21pm

How is that relavant at all?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:30pm

Riddle me this...

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:32pm

Link to my answer

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:34pm

So... you think the guy who lost to Towson was a great coach?

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:37pm

Where did I say that?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:44pm

it's basketball time, unless a missionary sprains a knee or ankle then it gets..

icecougar

8/29/14 3:26pm

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

BarraCouga

8/28/14 12:28pm

If I said - Missionary is big advantage, 2 years of lifting and bulking up...

sdhusky

8/28/14 1:49pm

Except what he used was factually accurate.

BarraCouga

8/28/14 2:15pm

LOL. OK, you are an expert on recruiting service coverage in NE

sdhusky

8/28/14 2:40pm

No. No I'm not. And I never said that. And you know I never said that.

BarraCouga

8/28/14 2:49pm

Fact: Recruiting services cater to high paying fan bases.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:13pm

You seem to have difficulty understanding the difference between

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:23pm

Riddle me this...

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:26pm

No, that is not the reason.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:31pm

Actually - it seems that the rating services were a bit off on these players too

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:39pm

FYI - Kemba wasn't top 100 when UCONN signed him.

sdhusky

8/28/14 3:52pm

Kind of my point. Neither was Jimmer

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 3:57pm

Kemba was 14 in the country in final HS ranking

sdhusky

8/28/14 4:03pm

That was after the McDonalds game

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 4:28pm

Pretending you knew it already or proving you can use google?

sdhusky

8/28/14 4:37pm

I looked it up.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 4:55pm

I'm sure ESPN ignores Connecticut.

BarraCouga

8/28/14 4:16pm

Yeah cause UConn is the big winner in conference re-alignment

sdhusky

8/28/14 4:19pm

Wow. Are you ADHD?

BarraCouga

8/28/14 4:25pm

Which ESPN did not have anything to do with

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 4:29pm

Do you believe in Santa Claus too? "ESPN -- is the one who told us what to do"

sdhusky

8/28/14 4:33pm

You are saying that ESPN told UCONN to not join the P5?

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 4:56pm

You didn't read the article.... I'll wait... go ahead. Take your time.

sdhusky

8/28/14 5:01pm

Sorry, I was just waiting for you to post the entire comment.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 5:07pm

Its over your head. Complex stuff in there. No bid deal.

sdhusky

8/28/14 5:24pm

Not really

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 5:28pm

If BYU lays an egg tomorrow and loses I'm betting this guy won't leave us alone

ToThineOwnSelfBeBlue

8/28/14 4:44pm

So... you are saying we have a chance...

sdhusky

8/28/14 4:53pm

Thats why you play the game.

PolarisPrime

8/28/14 4:56pm

From a historic perspective, yes IMO.

ToThineOwnSelfBeBlue

8/28/14 4:59pm

Love the passion, man, but no one's trying to put UConn down...

cougfromcali

8/28/14 5:06pm

On planet Earth.

ToThineOwnSelfBeBlue

8/28/14 4:37pm

earth, it's the 3rd rock from the sun. The basis for the claim is evidentiary

icecougar

8/29/14 3:24pm

just to be difficult

claw

8/28/14 11:52am

I hear you

Dan

8/28/14 3:02pm

Just to counter your counter argument...

cougfromcali

8/28/14 5:44pm

is there anybody left on this board who was signed up on CB before you?

claw

8/28/14 11:54am

I too think that BYU should win going away as Uconn is from the Big Least

TheDean

8/28/14 5:09pm

I think I read that UConn is picked to finish 9th in the AAC
