    As college football's elite is engulfed in a power struggle, G5 left just trying to survive: 'We are a farm system'(Ross Dellenger @ Yahoo)

    Maybe the lower FBS schools have to think like the AFL did in 1960. Be experimental a with a more exciting brand of football. But we'd still be limited by the NCAA, so I'm not so sure how much freedom we'd have to do very much.

    The night lights went on - pics from 1989

    I think that SMU game was also the first UConn football game west of the Mississippi River.

    The night lights went on - pics from 1989

    This was the first home night game. The week before this, we possibly played the first night game in UConn history at SMU in Dallas. I was there.

    That helmet logo brawl again!!

    Our best years were with the block C. We were just getting some national respect when the helmet changed and everything collapsed.

    That helmet logo brawl again!!

    Anytime you ask fans of other teams which is best, the vast majority say the block C is our best helmet.

    Question everything here

    We chose to sacrifice football to sustain basketball success. Was that a good decision? IDK. I still think football can succeed, but the odds aren’t good. Last year looks like a sweet aberration.

    UConn @ Rice Owls (Saturday 10/7/23 @ 5p EDT. Game on ESPN+)

    I’m in the far northern suburbs and I drive slow. If we were 2-3 or 3-2, I’d go. I’m an empty nester now, but back in 2009 (or so) I packed the whole family in the car and we saw the Huskies dominate Baylor in Waco. That was fun.

    Duke Post Game Shred

    Until the 1980’s when both programs became respectable, I remember Northwestern and Kansas State being the dregs of college football for decades. They had 0,1, or 2 wins every year (or so it seemed). I hope we’re not headed down that path.

    Maybe, maybe not. They still have more going for them than BC, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Pitt.

    ACC futility

    SMU has access to more money. It’s in the top recruiting area in the nation (over 5% of all D-1 players are from DFW/North Texas). It’s in the 4th biggest metro area (set to pass Chicago to be #3 by 2035). And they have the best helmet/uni combination in the country. Academically SMU is pretty...

    The View From Section 241 — NC State

    AAC-related thought experiment

    I was a big supporter of the AAC since both of my schools were in the conference. But we’ve moved on and the top teams have left the AAC. There is zero chance we go back.

    A view after the dust settles

    A comment in the Syracuse fan forum said the ACC refs were bailing out NC State. Just once I’d like the refs to bail us out.
