    Noel Thomas CFL Debut w/ Ottawa RedBlacks

    It'd probably be a lot of fun to play WR in the CFL. The three downs and pre-snap motion make for a lot of big plays.

    CTE found in Hilinski Suicide

    Both my kids play ice hockey, and I worry about it. The sport definitely needs to change. Get fighting out, improve reffing (most refs let too much head contact go), and the fact that they don't pad the boards when the kids are young is absurd. Most bad injuries I've seen are from kids hitting...

    OT: Final Learfield Director's Cup Standings

    Not for nothing, but Field Hockey is about the worst spectator sport in the world.... or at least it's not for me. My daughter played for a few years and it was interminable. Thank god she stopped and now just plays Ice Hockey. :-D

    OT: FBI has reportedly arrested several NCAA basketball assistant coaches.

    Funny I was thinking the same thing about Miller's press release.

    Temple Puts On Campus Stadium Feasibility Study On Hold

    Welcome to Philly! Seriously... the community I lived in a few years back lost a grant $250,000 for a new high school baseball stadium because they did the same BS on a smaller scale.

    Temple Puts On Campus Stadium Feasibility Study On Hold

    Temple has no public money? :confused: They are a state supported university. If this goes through, some public money will definitely be spent on the project. I'm sure Philly's City Council will find a way to muck it up. I'm just a skeptic about all this actually taking place. I'm shocked that...

    Jacobs looks to be out as AD at Auburn

    His time there overlapped with Pearl's. Not that I think he had anything to do with it, but if they want to clean house completely, they might look somewhere else. That being said I don't think our only danger is Auburn. A guy like him will probably get a look for any opening that comes up due...

    OT: FBI has reportedly arrested several NCAA basketball assistant coaches.

    Bilas is trying to solve a problem from 1993. This has moved far beyond a couple of used car dealers in Memphis paying a kid a couple thousand dollars because he plays for the local state U. I used to like him a lot, but he believes his own press to much.

    Saw the 1st half and was proud

    I don't know. I think everyone is reading a bit to much into that first game. He had a couple of decent drives. If the turnovers don't happen we may still have Pindell as the QB. I'll agree though, he definitely wasn't going to bring us back from behind to win that game.

    OTish: CBS Sports Network added to PlayStation Vue

    In PA we get Comcast Sports net.. just the Philly channel. I'd rather NESN.:D

    OTish: CBS Sports Network added to PlayStation Vue

    Not a huge deal, but makes me happy. I was considering adding another service in order to get CBS Sports Network. They added it today. Now if they'd just add the NHL network so I can drop Sling TV.

    Rock Star AD?

    As apposed to how it is with them? Have you seen the Non-Key Tweets thread on the Conference Realignment board? ;)

    Rock Star AD?

    I think you should summarize every thread on here like this. You seem to have a real knack for it. :D

    Hurricane Irma Causing Games To Be Rescheduled/Cancelled

    Roku

    If you're fine with your TV.. Just go buy a $30 stick. They work fine. I have a couple of streaming sticks for the other tvs and a Roku Premiere for the home theater. The main reason I like the Roku is there interface is dirt simple for the less technical to use. I don't use the Roku remote. I...

    Some Signs for Optimism

    As bad as things were... if we don't put the ball on the ground twice inside our 50... it's a completely different game. They didn't score a touchdown when they didn't have a absurdly short field.

    Extended Game Week - UConn vs. Holy Cross (8/31 @7:30p SNY) + Post Game

    Given how awful the end of last season was, that's probably not bad.

    Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl (RIP St. Petersburg Bowl)

    The only other one that's almost as bad is the Boise Bowl which has been both the Roady's Truck Stop Bowl, the uDrive Bowl, and most recently the Famous Idaho Potato bowl... But you are right it's the worst. It makes the Mineke Car Care Bowl look downright regal.

    2017 -2018 Uconn Roster Up

    That's basically the way medical redshirts work... you don't get them until your eligibility is used up.

    Temple Puts On Campus Stadium Feasibility Study On Hold

    There's a large local movement in Philadelphia to not build anything ever. The fact that Philly has some of the worst policies when it comes to affordable housing in the free world compounds the issue. You add that together with the NIMBY folks and the oldsters that think all change is bad and...

    OT - Here Are the Most Popular Liquors in Every State

    Fireball calls itself cinnamon whiskey... Aftershock was a shnapps... a bit more sugar in Aftershock is my guess, basically the same stuff as Goldshlager. Fireball has been around forever... at least they had it when I was in college (1998). Just no where near as popular. I can't drink any of...

    NCAA Tells UCF Kicker He Can't Make Money From His YouTube Channel

    The kids an idiot. It would have taken him 15 minutes to move his athletic videos into another channel. The reason he didn't is probably because the only ones he was making any money on at all had to do with him being a college athlete. Not to mention I doubt he was making anywhere near as...

    UConn in the NFL

    That's rough. Eagles need secondary help in a bad way.

    NHL/D1 Hockey Feasibility Study

    'Cuse has a D1 Women's program, which surprised me. I'm guessing the requirements are set a little lower for a women's hockey program though. The fact that Michigan doesn't have a D1 women's program is pretty surprising too. Pitt doesn't have anything. They play their club hockey about 20 miles...

    OT: Gypsy Moths

    Don't have them down here in PA at all... but I remember them from my youth. My Dad was just complaining about them when I called him this morning. I knew they were always sort of around. You'd see one here or one there from time to time... but didn't know they were coming back like this.

    OT Reducing cable to "basic"

    I've worked for some in the software industry that have taken IP property rights very seriously. Of course I've also worked at Fortune 500s that regularly install pirated software... I'm not going to beat this horse to death though. I just disagree with some of you guys. :-)

    OT Reducing cable to "basic"

    Follow the thread back. Basically my point is, posting about doing something illegal or morally questionable on any form of social media has zero upside. Even on a semi-anonymous sports message board. I've known people who have lost their jobs for less. Like I said though the likelihood of any...

    OT Reducing cable to "basic"

    I don't think the law is settled... but technically the way I read it based on this article.. if you buffer any video at all... by the letter of the law you're probably doing something illegal. Watch a video in a browser and depending on the streaming technology you could be downloading tons of...

    OT Reducing cable to "basic"

    Lots of people got fired over pictures they posted on Facebook. They thought nothing was going to happen to. If you want to, it's fine... but why bother. I mean I know the likelihood of a potential employer combing through the Boneyard for posts is pretty slim... but I still don't think it's a...

    RIP Chris Cornell

    This one really bugged me. I think it's because he seemed to be doing really well... touring and putting out some great music lately.

    Is the epidemic of cord cutters a good thing for UConn?

    It only helps us if someone says... why the frick are we going to pay West Virginia, Baylor, Kansas State, Ok State, Texas Tech, TCU, and Iowa State no one lives in those places... let's just add Kansas, UConn, Texas and Oklahoma and be done with it. That's the future I'd try to plan for.... and...

    AAC has 5th most players drafted

    If you're going down this road, then Kutztown (PA) and Texas have similar football programs. It's meaningful in it's aggregate but not so much in terms of a single schools performance in any given year.

    This is the best reason I've heard for having the spring game on a Friday night. It makes sense.

    AAC Spring Football Teleconference

    I don't like it. It seems to me like you're voluntarily marginalizing yourself. I doubt it will make any money. The only reason it works at all in basketball is because there are so many damn teams... and the NIT has a certain amount of history to it. No one wants to watch the CBI or CIT. Expand...
