True. We also aren't homeless because Randy Edsall decided to cancel football during Covid, but neither decision makes us look particularly serious or committed about playing football.

Well, if our hopes for conference realignment are hinged upon decision makers reading the key tweets thread, things are even worse for us than I thought.

Probably, but it's still a claim no other school can make. That's pretty damn cool.

Somewhere, deep in bowls of Gampel Pavilion, Dave Benedict breathes a sigh of relief.

They take them we may or may not see them.

We already have Burton and Shenkman. We don't need to re-create them, especially if a stadium is built in the athletic campus. We are going to need game day locker rooms etc.

Eh Meh. I like to knock down this mythology whenever it crops up. It's it's fine to think that it's not worth building in Storrs, but another to manufacture reasons why it's impossible to build in Storrs and then state them as fact. To paraphrase Daniel Patrick Monahan, "Everyone is entitled...

For basketball games, everybody arrives pretty much at the same time and everybody leaves pretty much the same time. Football games are different. That's the whole reason tailgating happened, to allow people to feather their traffic over multiple hours, rather than all at the same time. I...

Pretty sure my four would win comfortably. (Blanca is someone I'm looking forward to actually watching her play at a high major college level. She's a wild card.)

KK, Azzi, Serah, Sarah, probably.

Just to make it fair…

Probably because national championships are largely an unattainable goal for them, at least in the modern era. It isn't worth the time to Google, but I'm pretty sure we have more national championships than the Big Ten does in total.

If they're going to let us field six players at a time, I feel very good about our chances this season.

Honestly, I wouldn't give up a national championship for a 20 win season, or two or ten. Consistency of excellence is a good thing. Consistency of mediocrity? Shrug.

Pssh only like half as tall.

Well each of us have a choice whether we are going to stoop to that.

Actually, I think they've done a pretty good job of promoting it and a pretty good job on the renovation. It's an old building and it's always going to have it's limitations, but the renovation seems well thought out and well executed.

So basically they said we are ranking UConn third because of Kevin Ollie's post championship seasons.

I think the problem is less a sellout where 6000 more seats generate roughly $67 apiece, as the fact that what happens when they don't sell out at what point is the school operating at a loss by going to Hartford? Also, I have to laugh at the Hartford crowd seems to love name-calling. I guess...

If we did, I think it's like 90% likely that someone would've called Dave about building a football stadium in Storrs.

I think someone needs to put together the hierarchy of preference for off-season posts. Bench players are preferred over starters, incomers are preferred over bench players, recruits are preferred over incomers,etc. What's at the top of the hierarchy? Infants with a basketball rattle?

It is like he doesn't know us at all.

Agreed, but the point is the place to start the argument that we should be a higher priority on stupid list like this is on the field.

(As long as it was built to be expanded.)

So thumbs up or thumbs down?

This surprises me because, to be honest, it looks like dreck. I think I'll wait for a few more people to buy into it before I give it a shot.

'nuff said.

❓ Would it be easier just to use this? @temery

If we had beat them, I think we'd be looking pretty good on this list, but we didn't.

I don't know how to respond to this. Obviously I agree with the sentiment, but any time I see Diaco I want to hit the dislike button.

But right out of Blumenthol's playbook apparently...

Like pretty much all answers, you have to qualify that with a big "depends." I would suggest that there are times where it makes sense and is in the country's best interest. The problem is that "investing" the due diligence consists of how much cash you can load into a dump truck and dump on...

Lol, so you're saying that Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State are all in worse financial circumstances than we are? That list effectively proves the point that caring debt in and of itself isn't an evil in end of itself. If you want to have some fun, go and look at the athletic department...

Exactly. It seems like the end of the game was a moment to celebrate and talk about character in fighting back to win. The next week's practices is when you can go into, they never should've been a position to win, we can't wait till the second half to decide to play football…
