I guess the close game last night made Tenn fans squirrely (sorry: I forgot that was their basic food group). Or maybe their moonshine soured or their cousin wouldn't marry them or something. Lovin' the hate:
He's a control freak who is denying his hardworking players opportunities to celebrate well-earned milestones. It's ridiculous for someone who is paid MILLIONS of dollars on the backs of these young women to deny them these simple joys. A-hole move. Borderline abusive, even, in his selfish hoarding of all THEIR trophies and nets in his personal office, in stark contrast to how Pat Summitt was always careful to give all the credit and glory to the players who actually played in those games and won those trophies and earned their little cherished pieces of net they climbed those ladders to cut.
But not Auriemma! But while he's denying his players the joy of cutting down conference championship nets, I'm sure he's more than happy to take bonus checks for his players winning those conference championships, etc. He's an insufferable jerk.
Lost in this rant is the simple fact that, if he were who they say he is, why do the best players in the world eagerly agree to play for him?

And why do players past flock to Storrs and to games ... especially championship ones ... and to interviews where they state unequivocally their love for Geno and their appreciation of his love for them. A few years back, he offered the team the option of cutting down the regional nets and the players unanimously elected to remain with the tradition of not cutting them down. Anybody look at those kids and think ... oh, they'd be sooo much happier if only they'd been allowed to cut down a conference title net."? speak up ... no? ... Buehler? Finally, when has anyone EVER heard Geno or CD or anyone at UCONN take all the credit for UCONN success? What I always hear is their appreciation for the players they've had the privilege to coach

When I do venture to Lady Troll Nation, I'm baffled that so much stupidity and nonsense can coexist in peoples' minds? You don't ever want to confuse Pat's Rat Pack with factual information, or pitchforks will be raised along with goblets of the finest batches of moonshine! The hate for GINO and the Connies reminds me of George Orwell's 'Hate Week', but these VOLglodytes can't tell time and their hate is everlasting!! It might just be time to re-convene the Edinburg Phrenological Society so they can investigate the skulls of NeanderVOL Man...................................................

Geno is their heads so bad it isn't even funny. Ever since, and especially since, he joked about ut being "The Evil Empire." Which I thought was hilarious. Pat Summit was so pissed off it wasn't even funny, had no clue that it was originally a Red Sox jab at the nyy, which was of course taken from Star Wars. An assistant explained it to her but she still wondered why he thought they were evil. They told her he was joking and that it was from Star Wars and she supposedly said "What's Star Wars?" Really?, cause a great comeback line would have been "I'll take that as a compliment, I plan on having our Death Star fully operational the next time we play." Their falling off a cliff hurts, us still winning hurts worse.

I don't waist my time going over VOL nation. I did watch the game into mid 3rd quarter before I just couldn't stand it anymore. Almost want to feel sorry for Burrell. Talk about Disjointed.

Why is anyone talking about cutting down conference championship nets in November?
