    OT - Pub 32

    Thanks. I was thinking Hooligan's, but thought that was the place next to Thumpers. Now I'm really being a pain, do you recall what that place was called?

    OT - Pub 32

    Sorry for the off-topic post, but this is driving me insane. Tried an internet search, but couldn't find anything. Back in the late 1980's, we used to spend a lot of time at the place now known as Pub 32 (still go there pre-game). Problem is, I can't remember what the place was called? Guess...

    OT: Will Ted's Open Before Noon Tipoff Saturday?

    I'll be at the UConn football game too. Giving up tailgating to do a UConn doubleheader.

    OT: Will Ted's Open Before Noon Tipoff Saturday?

    Really don't consider anything having to do with alcohol off topic.... Anyway, think Ted's will open at 11 am?

    Anyone else doing the Uconn Doubleheader

    105 at XL to 225 at the Rent...........

    OT Huge night for uconn hockey

    No kidding.....Not saying I was expecting a season with many wins, but I was expecting to see some improvement weekly on the offensive side of the ball, especially after two weeks of practice preparing for a dismal Tulane team. The inability to throw a forward pass or to show any creativity...

    OT Huge night for uconn hockey

    Also demonstrates that maybe the football team should be a little further than where they are now - like maybe resembling a football team on offense.........

    Some Perspective

    Two weeks of preparation for a 1-4 opponent and that's what you come up with? Really embarrassing from an offensive standpoint. The safety was particularly embarrassing. Tough to take when teams across the country are putting up 50 points against good teams.

    back to GDL offensive schemes?

    "Scaling back" means the team was given too much to begin with. One would have thought that based on current personnel, and after some preseason practices, that things would have been simplified before the season even began. Just doesn't make sense. The comments about the young RB's still...

    Coach Bob Diaco Under No Illusions About This UConn Team (Des)

    I guess I understand why the offense was shut down on Friday, but I don't understand how it achieves HCBD's message below: "..... if you're going to communicate and berate and demoralize and dehumanize and emasculate and you're going to communicate like that, no one is going to listen to you...

    UConn Football TV Commercial - CNBC

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I live in Stamford and have Cablevision. This morning at about 8:15 on CNBC (Squawk Box), there was an ad for UConn football. Narrated by HCBD with clips from what looked like the spring game, some tailgating and of course, the Husky Dog. Ended it...

    Rodney Purvis

    Drove by UConn Stamford on the way home from work, noticed the crowd and thought it was him speaking. Tried to google to see if there was something going on and nothing came up in my search. Should have stopped in. Bummer.......

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    White clam pizza at Pepe's, only in New Haven, followed by a walk over to Libby's for lemon ice in a push cup and a cannoli for the ride home. Been the same routine for 30 years. I will never, ever set foot in a Pepe's not on Wooster Street!

    Most nervous/excited I have been for a game in 30 years.

    Understand that football is driving realignment, but I'm thinking that a win here would help our chances to get into a P-5, which is the only reason I'm a little nervous about tonight. Ridiculous that we even need to worry about such things.

    Where to Watch Sunday's Game in Hartford

    Wife bought Book of Mormon tickets for Sunday night at the Bushnell. I've had season tickets only in Gampel for the last 20 years and living in Fairfield County, it's been awhile since I've spent time in Hartford. Any thoughts on where to watch the game? Kids are teenagers. Thanks.....

    Thoughts

    Certainly agree that UConn didn't play well today. However, I'm not sure what it's like in other sections in Gampel, but I'm so tired of folks that clearly have never played ball at any level complaining about players performance, referee calls, etc. I get that some games are frustrating to...

    Lyle McCombs altercation

    Sometime during the late 80's, can't remember which year, the football team was actually banned from Ted's for awhile. Funny, don't remember Upper Deck at all. Spent most of my time at Ted's and never had a problem. Anytime we ventured to Huskies though, it seemed like there were issues...

    A serious and *maybe* funny question for conservative fans

    I certainly acted differently as a student at games than I do now 25 years later, think that's to be expected. Just a function of life as you get older. Just because someone isn't going nuts at the Harvard game, which was an awful game to watch, doesn't mean they're any less of a fan than a...

    OT: Storrs Campus Watering Holes

    A little off-topic, but I'm thinking that I need to diversify (a little) my drinking spot on campus, which for the past 29 years, has been Ted's. Any recommendations? Slightly off-campus is fine too. Back in the late-80's we did venture off campus - Margaritaville, was it Twister's at 4...

    Coach D to be @ Wood-N-Tap in Vernon Next Tuesday for Special Edition of Coach's Show

    So much for appealing to Fairfield County Alumni. WTIC doesn't stream and WGCH doesn't help much anyway, have to be parked in front of the station to get reception.

    Coach D to be @ Wood-N-Tap in Vernon Next Tuesday for Special Edition of Coach's Show

    Does WTIC stream on the internet? Tried in the past and don't recall being able to. In Fairfield County without radio access.

    Coaching Search Tweets & More

    Don't post too often, but have been spending way too much time on the BY and searching for UConn news. Maybe WHUS should have a morning sports show that we could all listen to. Hopefully this will get done soon. I'm getting way behind at work.

    Boyle is horrible

    This is really an embarrassing thread to post after Boyle's first game as a freshman. He clearly has a good arm, did make some good decisions and is pretty mobile. It's obviously a work-in-progress and he needs to learn, as do all freshman, especially QB's. Seemed like his ball got on the...

    CONFIRMED: Boyle Takes Over as QB

    I don't like burning Boyle's redshirt at this point in the season, especially with an 0-4 record, but I understand that Coach Weist needs to win some games to have a shot at keeping the job. Obviously Weist got the okay from Warde to do this. At the end of the day, I give Warde credit for...

    UConn fans need to pack the Rent against South Florida

    Warde did what needed to be done and what most wanted him to do. The press conference was impressive. Now, we need to fill Rentschler against South Florida. If you are not planning on going, make sure you get your tickets in the hands of someone that will show up. Really important to be there...

    No reason not to make coaching changes now......

    with two weeks until the next game. An absolutely perfect time to do it. Appoint the interim coach tomorrow and let's move forward. Clearly some members of the coaching staff have lost the team. You can't subject the players to another two weeks of this. Get it done tomorrow, enough is...

    DJ Joey came up big

    The canned UConn cheer makes me cringe every time I hear it. It's truly embarrassing, as is announcing record attendance in front of a team and their fans that have a 110,000 seat stadium. There are some improvements at the Rent this year, focus on that. With all the conference realignment stuff...
