    After Five Years, American Athletic Conference Finds Stability But Enters Crucial Stage

    I have confidence that Aresco Will negotiate a great TV deal but just in case, I am sending him a book to help brush up on his negotiating skills! LOL!

    TJ Weist Offensive Analyst, Baltimore Ravens

    If you call respect for TJ Weist a cult following and that posting information on where he landed as truly unbelievable it's your choice but you come off sounding condescending. TJ wants to be a head coach some day. I hope this next step gets him closer to his goal. And, at age 52, he...

    TJ Weist Offensive Analyst, Baltimore Ravens

    Just read this article from last month. Great to see TJ back in the business as an assistant coach with the Ravens. NFL Draft first duty for Bay City's T.J. Weist as Baltimore Ravens assistant

    This 2017 AAC helmet ranking by hero sports has ECU's pirate logo as #1. I always thought ECU had a cool logo and uniforms. They also gave a decent rank to UCONN'S helmet. College Football: Ranking All 12 AAC Football Helmets This Athlonn review from 2013 had UCONN'S uniforms ranked #1...

    I played golf at Oxford Greens on Friday. No power but the course was in decent shape.

    Power was restored in Beacon Falls Thursday at around 5:00 PM. XFInity TV and WiFi yesterday at around the same time:)

    Thank you. We are fine. No power for at least a few days. The damaged property can be fixed.

    Tornado

    Hit us pretty hard in Beacon Falls. Many downed trees and power lines. Traffic jams for hours. Saw telephone polls on fire. Cars crushed by trees. My windows on my porch got blown out and put a hole in the wall. I've been in CT a long time and never experienced anything like this. It's...

    Aresco on 1PM show from Memphis last week

    Mike Aresco talks about UCF football and #1 claim, P5-P6, 18 NFL Draft Picks, AAC basketball tourney moving from Memphis next year to Fort Worth and new Dickies Arena for three years. Said never going back to old hybrid Big East Model. Wichita was an exception but wouldn't rule out a top shelf...

    Potential Transfers Into Program in 2018

    Anybody know about Jaleel Fields, DE transferring from WVU. He hasn't done a whole lot there but was scheduled to be a starter for WVU last year. I read somewhere that he was going to go to Indiana PA. Unless there are other issues, I would think UCONN could lure him over Indiana PA. Also saw...

    Tim Boyle Green Bay Packers visit

    He was always projected as a pro style QB. To be really effective the O line, receivers and run game all need to come together. That didn't happen at UCONN and that's why Sherriffs, Whitmer and Cochran got the crap beat out of them. Not playing much at UCONN may have extended Boyle's career...

    Tim Boyle Green Bay Packers visit

    I totally agree. There is absolutely no reason nor historical precedent to expect that Tim Boyle will be successful in the NFL. That is precisely why these developments are so intriguing. His physical test scores make it all the more crazy! One of my teammates at CCSU, Tony Giaquinto...

    AAC 2nd TV Contract/Negotiations

    This article explains the evolution and rational. This was all part of the negotiations and apparently needed to be done in order for Navy to join the AAC. As a concession the AAC retains the TV rights to the Navy-Notre Dame game every other year. Navy agrees to 10-year extension with CBS...

    Tim Boyle Green Bay Packers visit

    Take a look at his measurable drill times again. Professional analysts see organic skill sets in Boyle that lead them to drafting him and letting Callahan go. He turned out to be one of the most athletic and strong QB's in the entire draft. His drill times were better than Rogers and he can...

    AAC 2nd TV Contract/Negotiations

    The AAC needed Navy more than Navy needed the AAC. The AAC also benefits from Navy's surrogate in Bball WSU. They contribute NCAA tourney money that Navy can't. Both were smart moves by Aresco.

    AAC 2nd TV Contract/Negotiations

    Head bang:p The TV negotiations are about football. Navy enhanced the AAC's football product. The busted knees theory doesn't hold water.

    Tim Boyle Green Bay Packers visit

    Excellent article on Boyle and Packers. They are really high on Tim. They compare him with Rogers! General manager Brian Gutekunst signed Boyle not because of his statistics but because the rookie can drive the ball down the field and into tight spots with great accuracy. He signed him...

    AAC 2nd TV Contract/Negotiations

    It is extremely rare for a conference to allow one of its member schools to negotiate its own separate television contract. Athletic director Chet Gladchuk said such autonomy was a prerequisite to Navy becoming a member of the American Athletic Conference. “This was all part of the discussions...

    AAC 2nd TV Contract/Negotiations

    Sounds like a seperate deal Navy agreed upon before becoming a member of the AAC. I would imagine that Aresco's close familiarity with all aspects made for effective negotiations which Navy appreciated. CBS Sports extends media rights deal with Navy through 2027

    For a small state Connecticut can get pretty loud!

    Remember when Robert Griffin III said it about the Rent in 2012? "When we played at UConn my freshman year, that was the loudest place I've ever been as a football player. The stands are right next to the field, it was packed, and everyone was yelling. That was probably the coolest place for me...

    Kevin Mensah Looks Like He Got Massive

    Barkley is a rare talent with immense strength as a result of hours in the weight room. My post was a response to Palatine's who inferred that bigger wasn't always better. Obviously that doesn't apply to Barkley. I hope and expect great things from Mensah, a track guy who like Barley runs a...

    Prediction: Our backcourt will easily be one best of the country

    Even if what you are saying is true, it matters little if we can't get more consistent production from the front court. Until we can say with confidence that we have the potential to be one of the best teams in the country, who cares how high our guards are rated in the pre season.

    Tim Boyle Green Bay Packers visit

    Saying praying with a kid as a mentor figure is strange is perplexing. He went to a Christian High school. After he told me from his heart how hard he was working and how earnestly he wanted to do help UCONN win, I asked him if I could pray for him and with him. We bowed are heads and I said a...

    Chillious to ECU

    ECU has a lot of potential to improve. Bringing Dooley back was a great move. No doubt Chilious's recruiting ability was a big factor. Plus he is knows the teams and travel in the AAC cities. ECU wants to up their game. Good move by all parties. Once ECU starts winning the ticket sales...
