    Humongous win for the program

    Hi Jim, Why on the home side? Unless you live in Miami. I live in Pinecrest. Keep me posted. There should be plenty of refuge on the Visitor side. Can't imagine it will be sold out.

    Humongous win for the program

    if not, money worth spent. Good for you. It's great that you shared that with your children. Trust me, they'll remember that.

    Dominant Performance??

    Yes. They almost tanked the game. But in fairness, they attacked at an exceptional level of aggression; They need to tamp things down to containment and they will be on point. They do fly down the field with an exceptional level of intent. Hopefully they will adjust and realize that containment...

    In fairness to Dan, he's been predicated undefeated seasons for the last decade and half. My monies on that he hits big this decade. . .

    Humongous win for the program

    I concur. The D was exceptional and created the opening for the offense to compete.The D won this game. It's amazing that the team continued to fight on with so many first stringers out. Serious mental toughness. I will be at the FIU game, section 131.

    Humongous win for the program

    Trial By Fire. Coach Mora called it. I didn't expect a turnaround until FIU. I was totally blind-sided, hoping for a competitive game. Incredible mental strength by our team to maintain their focus and build upon recent defeats agaist top-shelf opponents. Proud of these guys. Proud of UConn. Go...

    Conf USA in Talks with UConn, Liberty, NMSU

    What appears to have prompted this exploration is the potential of 2 of the remaining independents coming off the board. In addition, the behind the scenes discussions of P5 conferences potentially limiting their schedule to other P5 conferences may be a contributing factor. The AD has done a...

    Report: UConn Going To Big East For 2020-2021 Season

    I always felt that if football drove the bus, then it should be treated differently. All sports other than FBS football should be regional/rivalry-based. FBS football should be treated more like a national league of sorts. Here's a how I would love for the next few years to go down. UConn...

    Second half of the season

    If UConn can pick up 8 points out of 10 from Merrimack, NH and UMass, and 6 points out of 12 against BC, BU, Providence and Northeastern, they should be in decent position for post season.

    I included Kansas because you listed them in your group of sustained success. We are in agreement that Kansas isn't quite on the same level as Kentucky and UNC, in part because they haven't converted talent and tournament seedings into more NCs.

    Four years later...

    Firstly, you're side-stepping my comment. When it comes to sustained success of a program, Villanova is not in the same league as North Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas. Perhaps some day it could happen should they capture more NC's, and continue to do so after Wright departs. Secondly, a National...

    What the hell is Nova doing on that list? They've won two championships with two coaches with over 30 years between the two wins. Let's see if Nova can match what UConn has accomplished over the last 20 years before we start grouping them with UNC, Kentucky and Kansas.

    Seth Greenberg on UConn & the Big East

    It could be part of $48M number, but you're right in that it's another revenue stream that has the potential to climb. Many AAC teams performed well this year.

    Seth Greenberg on UConn & the Big East

    The suggestion that joining the NBE would generate a windfall for UConn is a complete fallacy. People are conflating issues, judging revenue solely on basketball specific TV deals, and simply using bad data. In year ending June 2015 the gross revenue of the NBE was $42.6M, Their media deal paid...

    KO

    I'd like to see KO call more strategic timeouts mid game when necessary. There's no reason to let a scoring drought languish for 7 minutes. He needs to call the TO and reset the team to affect confidence, strategy, momentum, fatigue, etc. JC was really effective at this, and he called them when...

    2017 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    They must have wanted AZ in badly and UCLA road in on their coat tails. At least St. Johns won 42 games and had a respectable RPI. Although dropping their championship didn't help anyone on the bubble.

    2017 NCAA Baseball Tournament

    How does UCLA (52 RPI, 30 wins/11 road wins) in conference with a lower RPI than the AAC get in ahead of UConn (RPI 38, 33 wins/20 road wins)? Can't leave anything to chance these days. . . Houston got dissed too. I'll be rooting for our conference mates to upset the BS cart.

    In today's media that's a distinction without much of a difference. If you go Forbes' home page, the top stories listed are both by staff writers and contributors and they are treated and presented the same way. It looks like every other article I read from Forbes. At the end of the day he's...

    Marc Edelman has too much time on his hands...

    Edelman, the Michigan Law Grad is either unequivocally biased when it comes to his outrage, or he is woefully uninformed on this topic. Either conclusion questions both Edelman's credibility and his motivations, and the resulting stench has permeated the pages of Forbes, both paper and digital.

    New Offensive Coordinator! Rhett Lashlee of Auburn

    Stunned. I was pulling for this guy as HC. What a coup. Didn't see this coming. DB earned his salary this month. The tandem of RE and RL has me optimistic for the first time in what seems like a very long time. . .

    American and Mountain West should merge.

    The Big 12 expansion process indicated that BYU and CSU are the two teams not in the AAC that potentially add the most value (BYU's political headwinds aside). However, the AAC should not pursue BYU. They need to decide it's in their best interest to join the AAC. Adding those two teams could...

    I think it's an overreaction...

    It's unfortunate (to say the least) that the inept play calling during the last set of downs completely overshadowed the incredible play and resilience of our players and, yes, even the clear evidence that they had been coached up.

    UConn vs Navy game thread

    Diaco would have owned this victory. Now, he should own this loss. 2nd down and goal, 15 seconds left, no time outs and we run? I feel bad for the kids that stepped up and came back in incredible fashion. Just threw it away. Unbelievable.

    2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament - UConn's Road to Omaha

    Would have been so nice to have beaten Florida yesterday, but still a great finish to a season that looked very different a few weeks ago. The talent they do have was augmented by great disciple and drive, which is reflected by the fact they either won or were close virtually every game they...

    2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament - UConn's Road to Omaha

    Tough loss that was just a couple of runs away from a huge advantage typically reserved for the number 1 seed. However, the team has nothing to be ashamed about its effort against the number one ranked team in the country. Both announcers commented how UConn was more likely a 2 seed and not a 3...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    In addition to the exit fees there was $2.7M in entrance fees UConn shared in. I believe Rutger's exit fee was "applied" the following year. Additionally, a percentage of the exit "revenue" that UConn receives may be coming from a greater proportion of trailing Post Season Tournaments payouts...
