    Georgia State Post Game Thread

    Plenty of blame to go around. The lack of effort was the most disappointing aspect of the game for me. My 9 year old daughter asked me why the UCONN players weren't running after the other team's QB when he broke the long touchdown run. She's maybe watched 15 min of football in her entire life...

    End of the block C?

    The Block C on the helmets reminds me of the BIG Ten, e.g., Nebraska "N," Northwestern "N," Illinois "I," Purdue "P," Rutgers "R," Minnesota "M," Wisconsin "W," Indiana "IU." The Husky logo on the helmets reminds me of the AAC or Conference USA, e.g., East Carolina pirate, Tulane green wave...

    Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

    I am not thrilled by the rehiring of Coach Spanos. I hope Coach Spanos can turn our defense around quickly. Our defenses have been bad, and in some cases record-setting bad, the past couple years. A defense in the #100-130 range of FBS schools is not going to cut it. If you are objectively...

    I thought for sure he would be coming in as a DB. I guess we have another stud WR.

    RIP Bob Dole

    I had the privilege to meet him at the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. about 13 yrs. ago. A member of the US Army's 10th Mountain Division during World War II, he was severely wounded during the fighting in Italy. A true patriot who served his country.

    An Army Without Honor

    Stating our Army that has over 1 million active, reserve, and national guard Soldiers is without honor is a bold assertion. Especially since you seem to base it on, as you say, the "cowardly move" by the West Point superintendent to allow 53 mostly freshmen scholar athletes to finish their first...

    The Old Field House

    I made a basket during an intramural game at the Field House. Everyone on my team was yelling, "No!" or "Don't do it!" as I got the ball and looked up at the rim. My teammates told me before the game that I wasn't allowed to shoot the ball. I was strictly there for defense. I took the shot...

    OT EU promoting insects as meat substitutes

    Now I know why Europeans are getting fed-up with the EU. The EU tells its citizens that they're fat. It tells them what to eat, and that the EU is going to stop supporting meat production and consumption. And it attempts to change European cultures that have been honed over thousands of...

    Edsall: “Today’s Players Aren’t As Mentally Tough”- Gets Mocked By Local & National Media

    I thought he was sincere in his press conference, talking mostly about how he's trying to teach the guys life lessons, and how the current young men haven't been challenged in life the same way as previous players he's coached. Those are his observations and opinions, and I don't have any...

    OT: Reckless Driving In Virginia

    I was pulled over in Hopewell, VA on the I-295 a few years ago and was given a ticket for going 81 in a 70. Convenient since anything 10 mph or over the speed limit in VA is reckless driving. It was my first speeding ticket, too. I was able to make it to the court appearance to see if the cop...

    Game 5 - Just Simply

    That missed field goal was killer. Total momentum swing. It looked like we were going to punch it in for a TD with less than a minute left to make it 14-14 going into the half. Instead, we settle for the field goal, miss it, and Cincinnati drives the length of the field in less than a minute...

    Ragaini commits to Iowa

    Time will tell. It looks like we are only taking 2 wide receivers this class in Maurisseau and Jeffreys. Maurisseau camped at UCONN and seems like a speedster with great hands. Jeffreys is a big-body receiver, which Ragaini is not. I wish Ragaini the best of luck at Iowa.

    Ryan Dickens Article Critical of UConn Football

    Exactly the question the parents probably asked themselves. Instead, they should have been asking a different question. By going to the media, what good is this doing for their son or their family? Do they feel better about themselves for trashing UCONN? Maybe they get a sympathy scholarship...

    Ryan Dickens Article Critical of UConn Football

    At first I was a little sympathetic. Not anymore. The only reason the kid and his family went to the media was to try and slander UCONN. He got his feelings hurt so his mommy and daddy lash out and try to hurt UCONN by going to the New Jersey media. No sympathy left. Next...

    TJ Weist 4-0 in last 4 games

    Define weak? If you think HCRE is weak for not bringing in 4 and 5 star recruits, then yes, he is a weak recruiter. But if you look at the number of 2 and 3 star recruits he was able to forecast into NFL players and solid FBS players, then he is a strong recruiter.
