My parents were UConn students when I was born at Windham Hospital, so from birth I think? I knew I'd be going to Storrs as well, as many other family members did. I remember listening to Husky games on the radio with my father, we have come a long way since then!

How blessed are we? So proud of my university!!

Great crowd last night. I have to admit, as I was sitting in the stadium with about 30 minutes to go I was skeptical about 35K+. Eventually we got there!

NC State runs a 3-3-5, for that reason and the others mentioned above I would expect for us to be run heavy in game 1.

So proud of this team and our university. How fortunate are we to experience this 5 times?

Donated 2 tickets.

It just so happens that I will be out of the state this weekend, looking forward to taking those points. Especially since I just noticed that Army's run defense is ranked #118th.

In for 2 tix.

I still feel bad for that guy whiffing on that kick, that was rough. Also, does anyone else agree that the Avelo promotion is easier and offers a better prize than the other ones?

As to concessions, no fried dough truck. There was no truck last year either, not a good trend. And I learned from sitting on the sunny side at the Stony Brook game a few years back. While my usual seats are on the sunny side I was not going to pass up some reasonably priced seats in the...

It's funny - I was at a Mets game a couple of weeks ago and I saw a Draft Kings ad in the stadium. It dawned on me that I could now make my bet! I took the over, I think Mora and Charlton can get it done.

I talked to 2 people sitting near me who sounded like Club section regulars and I pointed out my usual seat across the field. If they resented me up there, they didn't (or wouldn't) express that. We actually had good conversations during the game and they said Saturday had the most people they...

Nice, especially when it was as cold and breezy as Saturday was. But that was probably my last taste of high society at the Rent - going back to my usual seat in 2022 LOL!

I certainly took advantage of the $30 seat, I've never seen a game up there before.

I like the hire for all the reasons previously stated. Again, I would have preferred a coach with a recent track record of running great offenses but let's be real - none of them were coming here for various reasons. If Mora picks Mazzone or someone who is not the next GDL/Verducci at OC we...

I agree with the majority here on this question. Can we at least try to get a head coach with a recent track record of running great offenses, even in the FCS, to see if that works?

So now I'm wondering if RE even considered bringing in Mazzone as OC when he was available in 2021. To be fair, I see Mazzone was making $600K at Arizona, so that might have been a factor early in 2021 even if RE had any interest (which I doubt).

Can't make it, it's my wedding anniversary. Of course, I will be discreetly checking the score at whatever restaurant I happen to be in . . .

Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos - I'll be going back soon!

I didn't have a good feeling about the season when I walked out of the signing day event, but now this? Ugh.

Thanks SAMCRO for putting the challenge group together. I was definitely sweating it out over the last few days!

An additional random thought - the fried dough was good, that truck really is a model of consistency over the years.

Have to be honest, not thrilled with the hire. I hope this works out, but to me our offense hasn't done well recently with OCs with little playcalling experience. There were no FCS OCs with experience running good offenses that wanted to come here?

I had a crazy thought about Matt Canada but in the unlikely event he'd ever come here, he'd be gone in a year too.

To me it's no surprise that Lashlee's leaving after one year for the reasons that have already been mentioned. I didn't see SMU as the landing spot as I thought Sonny Dykes is more of an Air Raid guy. Oh well.

It seems more teams these days are running some type of spread, most of our opponents in 2017 certainly did. I think 5 DBs on the field on a regular basis is our reality.

New London 3rd 90-93, McMahon South in 93-94.

Right. Tulsa might not be equipped to exploit our poor pass defense with inexperience at the QB position. If we can slow down their RBs, we can win. The flipside of that is we should be able to run on Tulsa, as they are giving up over 300 yards a game on the ground. I know the numbers are...

Marchi is the least experienced QB we've seen this year so far. I'm hanging my hat on that in the hope that we can win in a shootout.

I agree about SDSU, their 3-3-5 has been good over the years with mostly 2 star guys. Now I know, to be fair, that SDSU also runs a deliberate run heavy offense that keeps its defense off the field more than our offense will. Even so, I still have hope it can work here.

After the Stony Brook game a few years back, I learned my lesson. For yesterday's game I bought seats in 241 and my crew and I had no complaints.

I agree the pass defense needs to improve, but we did get 2 sacks, one forced fumble and Terry dropped what I thought was a sure INT. Those 2 sacks last night are equal to the total number of sacks we had against Stony Brook, Villanova and Maine combined in the last 3 years, so there's some...

I'm fine with whatever decision Edsall makes on the starter next week, I'm more concerned with the OL opening up the running game in the 1st half.

Speaking of UCF, I just saw that it hired Frank Verducci as an offensive analyst. Good for him I guess, but I do have to wonder, why?

I spoke to my ticket guy at the Rent today and told him if they opened the gate to season ticket holders at 2:30 it would have been better. I didn't get my food and sit down until 4 as the line was long. But the food was good and I enjoyed the experience today. Can't wait for 8/31.
