    USA Today: A terrible call ruined a perfect ending to Iowa and UConn's Final Four matchup and fans are livid

    Play goes as designed, UConn hits winner. Bluder would have said zero about that screen.

    It's the offense.

    George DeLeone used to get deservedly killed for incessant runs up the middle. Charlton's utterly predictable first down short side runs are equally infuriating.

    Knoxville Roll Call

    Posted in other thread -- advice taken before scrapping trip was to park at women's hoop hall of fame, walk to river, make a right, and mosey through vol navy sailgating area. on way to game. Bar/restaurant called Calhoun's on the river conveniently on the walk. after hearing the nice forecast...

    UConn @ #19 Tennessee Volunteers (Saturday 11/4/23 @Noon on SECN)

    when scouting for possible Neyland trip came across 'sailgate' cruise at link. looks like they're sold out for Saturday. The advice I got was park at women's b-ball hall of fame, walk down to river go right and take a (fill in number) beer/margarita walk through the Vol Navy tailgating area...

    UConn @ Boston College Eagles (Saturday 10/28/23 @Noon on ACCN)

    OK, usual question when this trip is made -- parking. Have done the riverside lot thing, but would like to get closer to stadium. see the lots available at bceagles.com. There's possible "free" parking on Hammond Pond Parkway. you'd think one of the neighbors would have private parking...

    Utah State Post Game Thread

    Should have been 24-0 at half, offense wasn't perfect but vastly improved. This one is on the dancin' D.

    Utah State Post Game Thread

    does anyone think the dancing after the 1st-half sack near student section was way, way overdone? Thought that was a bad sign. You're 0-4. get to the next play, which the DBs almost didn't. And judging by that end-of-half faceplant looks like they spent more time rehearsing dances than...

    Ever Seen a Play Reviewed, Called on the Field and then Reversed a couple minutes later?

    Dip, hit, lift. Aim with head, then turn shoulder at last second. Technique was being taught in 1970s. Love Mitchell, but everyone should know by now you can't make any kind, i repeat, any kind, of helmet-to-helmet contact no matter how slight or benign. Yes, the double-review had 72 US-USSR...

    UConn @ Georgia State Panthers - Saturday 9/9/23 @Center Parc Stadium @7p on ESPN+

    Oh, I've got the whole ESPN nut already -- just enjoy the sports bar atmosphere and maybe a chance to expand the football fan base 1 at a time. Not a groundbreaking observation here but there's much less 'intensity' barwise when Husky grid is on compared to Husky m/w hoops.

    UConn @ Georgia State Panthers - Saturday 9/9/23 @Center Parc Stadium @7p on ESPN+

    the sports bar I'd like to go only has directv. I said "streaming on ESPN plus" and that threw them for a loop. Is there still an ESPN college sports extra package on directv that might be picking up the ESPN plus games and if so does anybody have an idea what channel it's on? If I remember...

    OT/lost car keys/blue lot near Gate D, left of entrance, abt. 4≈5 rows back

    Pretty sure I know who it is after perusing the staff directory but will give her the benefit of the doubt that she might have having a bad day or that things were crazy pre- and post-opener. But OTOH a simple pleasant greeting would have been nice. You can't stress the importance of donations...

    OT/lost car keys/blue lot near Gate D, left of entrance, abt. 4≈5 rows back

    For those curious about this saga -- State police on hand in lot were very, very understanding and helpful as to situation and went above and beyond call. Called Rentschler this morning to make a lost and found inquiry. No human available to speak to, best choice was to leave a voice mail with...

    OT/lost car keys/blue lot near Gate D, left of entrance, abt. 4≈5 rows back

    The person who has them unknowingly opened our car while they were searching for their car. Concurrently, if you are missing what are believed to be keys to a GMC, they are now in possession of Rent lost and found. Theory is keys were mixed up during security process (grabbed out of wrong bowl)...

    Giufre is DeLeone 2.0 / bad 2012 wildcat flashback Saturday

    Hard to disagree with this, but ... Edsall had the No. 50 offense in the country with Rhett Lashlee his first year back in 2017. An innovative OC like Lashlee would have gotten the damn ball in the end zone. Benedict defending Edsall and RE not getting fired this year is what it is, but...

    Giufre is DeLeone 2.0 / bad 2012 wildcat flashback Saturday

    So, Giufre followed the drive-killing George DeLeone strategy by throwing Tompkins in at the 'wildcat' on 1st and goal yesterday then going up the middle on 4th and goal. ugh. All sadly familiar. What you get with an O-Line coach as an OC. We've seen this play before. Remember Scott...

    Edsall: Limited Passing b/c Pindell doesn't have big hands

    honest to god I think the Cory Edsall crap took a lot of Randy's motivation away. like "Jesus, not this crap again". given all the BS he went through with Hathaway. He really needs to make a decision if he really wants to be here. He sure didn't give off that vibe today.

    Joe D has Benedict on right now

    People need to let this go. Not that I'm pining for RE to come back, but that whole deal was mostly Hathaway's fault.

    So the timing...

    A wasted month thanks to a poor decision by people who don't really have respect for money who had the wool pulled over their eyes by a very crafty agent.

    Benedict has to address this mess

    You can keep defending him all you want but there isn't one Power 5 football program in the country where the AD and president could get away with three weeks of silence after a season like that, especially when your first move was to give the guy a buyout the school was in no shape to pay. Not...

    Benedict has to address this mess

    Part of his job as AD, which he seems to understand about as well as Jeff Hathaway did, is selling tickets. You guys are defending the fact because he can't give one good reason to buy them he should stay underground? Got it.

    Benedict has to address this mess

    Next time someone bumps into DB, might be worth asking him exactly what the incentive to buy season tickets for 2017 is. Nearly three weeks of utter silence from Diaco's bosses isn't exactly confidence-inducing.

    Still No Show of Support for HCBD?

    Never mind Benedict not talking to the media. Is an email to the season ticket holders/customers/patrons/people paying the freight too much to ask?

    Dave Benedict/Bob Diaco Holiday Coordinator Shopping List

    Agree that any firing should have been done Nov. 27. Benedict/Herbst have no clue that the longer they say nothing recruiting will suffer. This pipe dream that Diaco can be fixed with an OC is ridiculous. What decent coach is going to risk his career hitching his wagon to that horse. The thing...

    Dave Benedict/Bob Diaco Holiday Coordinator Shopping List

    If you're suggesting that these are valid reasons to keep Diaco, I hope you're prepared to buy lots of season tickets next year. The fact there's only 8 commits (if that) is yet another reason to fire crazy Bob.

    UConn football team rebuilding recruiting relationships in Fairfield County (J. Fuller)

    Crony capitalism in football form. A bunch of self-important old paisans who wish UConn was back in I-AA whose only leverage is the 2-3 good players who come through their program every year through the luck of geography/economy/population. When they got these jobs it was the equivalent of...

    Conversation with Benedict

    and another two things. What 'worthwhile' offensive coordinator is going to come here to work for a dead crazy man/program walking? Ask Bryant Sherriffs and his family about the 'care' he has for each of these 'kids'. Based on the last six games, seems like the 'care' thing isn't really going...
