Quote: ZWCamby & Calipari were yellow. They wouldn't dare play UConn when we had Marshall, Marshall, Allen & company .. they ran and hid until a few years later when the Huskies then handed them their asses.

ConU fans never cease to amaze... Apparently this meathead didn't see the puke-on-Memphis game where mumbles admitted he was the reason they "didn't play" (ducked) UMass during the Calipari era. He also must have missed the last time the two teams played.

At the time I was there, it was a healthy rivalry .. not unlike UA vs. the school that shall not be named. Make no mistake, the schools / fans don't like each other.Back then both schools played football in the Yankee (I-AA) Conference, so there was some direct competition on the field. UC's big game was vs. Yale, but UMass was important as well. That went away when the Huskies went 1-A a few years back.I'm not sure how it is now. They played a string of hoops games called the "U-Game" that started after Camby left. There was always a big argument on who was ducking who .. and where to start the series, but they got it done. I think it was 8 years or so. And UMass won 1 time. That's right 1 time .. and it was the most recent .. so that's all they've got. UC has a BIG lead in the head to head. (UMass guy, you can look that up on www.UMassHoops.Com - More than just a board).Camby was a NICE player for them. They were solid for a few years, but in the New England area .. they've become sort of the little step brother or something to BC and UConn .. UConn goes on to win some NC's and UMass drops back to be mid/upper echelon A-10 .. so I can see why they're a little sore.Go Zips!!! .. end their season & let's move on to another BCS game.
