Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

A friend of mine who posts a little on the football board shared a novel idea with me the other day. He goes "I don't ever go on the CR board but I know you do and I wanna run idea for a thread by you. I had a great idea, what if we go Indy in football and rejoin the Big East?" I kinda went off on him about how this is not a unique idea at all and how it's been discussed ad naseum over here. I told him if thinks our schedule is bad now wait til we have to fill 12 games with mac cusa and sunbelt teams. He cited schedules from independent days playing teams like Miami Va Tech BC GA TECH Isu etc and he saw no reason we couldn't get those teams on the schedule now. Well number one, it is easy to play Miami and Be Tech when the game is set up by your league. He assumed we'd have no issue getting every Northeast P5 team on the schedule. Listing off teams like PSU (who we have never been able to schedule) and teams like RU BC Cuse Pitt (who have literally no incentive to play us ever). He retorted to my naysaying with P5 schools must play at least one G5 team as if we'd be that one team for 12 teams. He was surprised to here me say we would never get a PAC or SEC team to play in CT never mind after Halloween. It was eye opening and mind boggling that a season ticket holder and otherwise knowledgeable fan just didn't get it.

You're dead to me.

The way we come up with crazy ideas, are you sure it's stirring that we are doing?

I think we are throwing what is in the pot against the wall. It's sliding down every time and stinking the place up something horrible.

BS ...I also enjoy your intuitive perceptive posts but I am a real gentleman though maybe with a touch of "player" in me...like most " good people" as we used to say growing up in NJ. I think Gretchen is VERY SHARP though.

You must be new.

Given that this is the internet, I promise you that two things are true...

1) Gretchen is dude.
2) Like most guys from New Jersey, you've now accidentally hit on a dude at least once in your life.

I wonder how Ray Davies would re-write this for the internet age?

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola​

unfortunately maybe I'm not sharp enough internetwise lol.

 

[Seaa Blue]

She's a guy named Gretchen? d'Oh!

Well as long as he pretends she's a girl, you're still going to lose.

 

[NickyNewark]

I don't know why a female can't come here without being mistreated. Dang shame she seemed like a great girl with sports knowledge!! No wonder i don't see many "any" females on these blogs. What a shame.

What's up @NickyNewark, do you want to go out for some catfish?

 

[microfich]

Without having to show their faces, most 20-ish male <sports> fanatics in the blogosphere are far from becoming true gentlemen. Testosterone rises.

 

[jostar1]

Is this thread going to disappear, too?

 

[CallMeBruce]

This is exactly what people are talking about when they say the Internet is hostile towards women. Or maybe not, but it could be.

 

[Adios]

Women are hostile towards women. We're in a ****ed up world. Anyhow, welcome to our **** hole, Gretchen.

 

[NickyNewark]

How did we sink to this...think about the woman in you're lives and families..she was a nice CR/sports fan with unique insights. I'm disappointed in even myself.

We need key tweets, and we need them desperately....... that is my wish for my 3000th post, a positive key tweet for UConn's CR fate.

 

[mike012]

To get any good key tweets you need a time machine to fix everything. However would things still end up the same even if you went back and made the right choices for Uconn. Kind of like what happens to Alexander in the time machine movie with his girlfriend.....

Care to wager whether "her" avatar is a picture of a girl named Gretchen or actually a picture of some model plucked down off the web?
