The second half, and the fourth quarter in particular, was filled with TV time outs—feels like that could impact building a rhythm. The on-field timekeeper must have brought his digital board out at least five times, eating up 2:30 a pop. While sometimes it’s a gift of time to regroup, it felt...

Fire Drill Award goes to Varsity for not pulling the two Connecticut DOT commercials where Edsall reminds us to drive safely and he’ll see us at The Rent on Saturday....

Get Up on ESPN is opining that the UConn decision to cancel football is based on $: not having the ability or resources to adequately test players and staff. Has anyone heard this? I know the program is financially challenged, but I’ve never heard that the inability to test or expense of...

The investigation focused on allegations of disparate treatment including disciplinary action, drug testing, conditioning practices and goals, verbal abuse, as well as lack of follow up on issues and concerns about retaliation if issues were brought forward. Allowing players to wear hats and...

Coach Ferentz was on Golic and Wingo this morning. I didn’t get a good sense he sees or understands the big picture issues. The only specific changes he mentioned were allowing the players to wear hats and earrings and changing the music used during practice. They created a player advisory...

Agree that the introduction should have been later in the game. Why didn’t they introduce the players individually? I recognized Andre Dixon, Kashif Moore, Scott Lutrus, Mike Hicks (?). A mistake to skip introducing them because of the length of the Anthony Sherman video.

The Big 10 Network website lists the UConn/Indiana game as available on the Fox Sports app. Downloaded it and voila:

What’s the impact on Connecticut...let’s say next Saturday afternoon? (Not meant to minimize the impact along the coast between now and then.)

Noticeable energy on the UConn bench throughout the game. Lou Spanos regularly went over to the offense when they came off of the field or sat on the bench—even after turnovers—to fist bump or quickly encourage the players. Great to see...brothers for life.

The sound was bad starting with the band pre-game show. The big turn and flourish during “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” wasn’t loud or powerful. Stadium audio was spotty from there on, including the referee’s mic. Several times during the game, the band section mics were way too loud for...

All in. Whining about the future, but all in.

There’s a camp tomorrow. What do they tell players and parents?

I hate this news. How many 2019 season tickets were sold? The number is usually available in May or early June. Could a really bad season ticket number be a factor in all of this? We still have two...for 2019, anyway. Maybe if they convert the seats to recliners, like the movie theaters are...

Edsall on the post game radio show: Pindell hurt ankle, they out toughed us, guys hesitated, didn’t make tackles, not strong enough..... When is it going to change?

Practice jerseys are showing their age. Kevin Murphy has worn the blue off the 94 on the front of his uniform.

+2. Ryan's pre-game bash, staying at the Cambridge Hyatt Saturday night.

Visitor sections are 124 and 224, got my ticket through UConn. Went to a game there a few years ago, it can be loud, very enthusiastic student base.

We're staying at the Hyatt in Cambridge, just across the river, about 0.5 mile from Fenway.

They didn't have to leave to watch the BC/UVA game: it was on the concession stand TV system at the start of the third quarter.

In '83 or '84, we made it into Yale Bowl--walked right in through the tunnel with the UConn football team. No one said anything to us. Probably could have gone on the field with them, but we veered into the stands when we got into the stadium. We were in the background of a NH Register sports...

We got to the Gray lot Silver Lane entrance around 9 am. It took 25 minutes to get to the Gray lot (a trip that usually takes five minutes). Blue lot was fuller than it had been all season. Lots of students walking--I'm guessing from the Red lot--more than any game this season. Homecoming, I...

Snowball fights at UConn make perfect sense. Had one in the space between Belden and Watson sometime 78 - 82. It was later at night, hard to tell who the enemy was. Had a lovely bruise on my cheek for a few days. Lasting memory of Belden: the smell of old beer and the sticky carpet in the...

CCCCCCCCCCCarrezola has a BIG game!

It's Homecoming weekend...where was home on/around UConn campus for you? I moved in to Belden my freshman year, just as it went co-ed. Loved it, lived there all for years. #HuskiesForever

Thanks for the correction!

Will be in Florida for the week, ending with this game. Anyone else going to UCF? A final warm weather game, maybe a little to cheer about.....

The student section did. My UConn student days ended just after the disco era....

I continue to be tolerant: I was in the stadium when the 70th point was scored. I will be at the rest of the home games, and away games at BC and UCF. The play sheet toss as a moment of human-ness, probably unnoticed by most of the fans in the stadium and those watching on TV.

The ten of us left in our section at the end of the game cheered with delight when we learned we were witnessing UConn football history. It had been 98 years since 69 points had been scored by a football opponent, and we got to see that record broken. We're waiting for the commemorative tee...

Defense put the 2-deep down linemen in often yesterday: Sheridan Lawley, Connor Freeborn, Kevin Murphy rotated in regularly and often together as the second half played out. With Carazolla out for parts of the game with a left shoulder injury, I hope he gets healthy fast. "You had to be...

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUp and at 'em--it's GAMEDAY!

Our play callling is faster than the director in the ESPN truck-missed the start of too many plays while still in replay. What a difference a year makes. Let's go boys!

We saw that, too--it was Coach Wholley. Quite an "inspiring" display.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Unlike other Sundays, the Huskies in the NFL are playing the same day as their UConn brothers.....
