I’m good with leaving it there and not debating it, but because the other person saying he thinks UConn will be good is also saying he thinks URI is about to be Jerry D-level bad, I just want to clarify that I do not share that opinion. I’m very bullish on URI and Coach Cox right now - I think he’s the best hire we could have made and I actually don’t expect much of a drop off, if any, of the overall quality of the program (obviously there will be a drop off from last year to this year, but that has to do with personnel and would have been the case even if Hurley were the coach next year).
As far as Cameron Dollar, I’m 99% sure I know who he is offline, and I can vouch for the fact that he is, in fact, a URI fan - or at least he was. I can also vouch for the fact that he is a good dude. I knew him when I was a kid and I have to say I’m kind of shocked and disappointed at what he’s had to say here. It’s not that anyone has to be positive all the time - I’m not - but it’s that it’s so negative coupled with being so wrong. The issue I have with his “opinions” here is not that they are negative, it’s that they’re bad opinions - to the point where it definitely feels like they are bad and wrong on purpose, which is the definition of trolling. I haven’t spoken to c_d in years offline so I don’t know what is going on with him, but I know he’s not lying when he says he’s been a URI fan for a long time. Which just makes his persona here all the more perplexing.
Huh?? So it's your opinion that Cameron Dollar's opinion is a bad opinion? Does that mean your opinion is good? Just how are opinions defined as good opinions or bad opinions? For example, John Elway is a better QB than Peyton Manning. The US should be more committed to a strategy of removing Assad from power in Syria. Are those good opinions or bad opinions? Curious, how do you measure the worthiness of opinions?
Facts can be wrong. Predictions can be wrong. Opinions are thoughts, hopefully based on some type of fact or observation.
You wrote an opinion is "bad or wrong on purpose." So when people come on here and say URI should play more zone...URI should have more away from the ball movement...URI should drop football...or whatever it is. Are those opinions "wrong?" And who gets to decide whose opinion is wrong? You, TP?
Tell you what, let everyone have their say and have their opinion whether you like it or not and regardless of what their motive or background is. It's healthy for you to do it. You can thank me later.
