As of today I’m officially a first time season ticket holder. Life’s short, UConn makes me happy. Let’s Goooo!

Zombies by The Cranberries. RIP Dolores O’Riordan. She was their lead singer and passed away today at the age of 46. This song epitomized the grunge movement of the early 90’s.

Crystal clear Espn doesnt care if UConn succeeds or fails and feels no obligation to help the Flagship University to which its private company is based. We are their show pony, we need to have good attendance and watch all their uconn content just to stay relevant. CT politicians gravel at the...

Got out late so I was listening while Joe D toughed out the second half tonight. I parked in a Stop&Shop when we got to OT. Streaming it on espn now tho, so that still counts right..

Jim Calhoun (and Dom Perno) built this program from nothing. It wasn't on 4/5 star recruits, but on hard-nosed young men that bought into JC's vision and gave their all for their coach, their teammates, and their university. If these players don't want to be here, frankly I don't want to see...

Joe D named Durham and another. Sorry was driving and didn't catch the other name as my dumpster fire rage set in on 84

Anyone see House Bill 05389? Its for vanity whalers plates to be sold at the DMV. There was a public hearing last monday; licensing has already been cleared with the NHL, its just on our legislature to pass now. Kicker is a portion of the sales go to charity. Win for residents, win for...

Agreed. Bettman would rather bet on 1/8 of NYs market over all of CT's.

As others suggested, practice, developing muscle memory is the key. If you can't dribble all the time i'll suggest youtubing how to juggle. Roll up three pieces of paper and get some good bilateral hand eye coordination practice. I learned how because my father quickly enacted a "no balls in...

Exactly my analysis as well. Jude Law kept me in it, and crawling out of a mound of babies was, interesting.. but if dry religion drama and no action continues, ill be dissapointed.

Season premiere tonight, looks interesting.

Of course.

This program needs a new vision and I would've taken anything at this point. CT guy comes home with an athlete friendly defense, good hire.

Inevitably it looks like this may end up as a sub .500 season, turnovers, shooting, confidence, rebounds, leadership, injuries.. Growth may not show up in the form of W's this season because of our limitations, but if everyone, from coaching staff to walk on, show the heart and grit we're...

Cornelison kills it every home game, hes unmatched in the states. Ginette Reno singing "O Canada" always gives me chills even without country affiliation.

Unrepalcable: Adj. An error in action, calculation, judgment, or opinion caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, or insufficient knowledge.

..where's the juke? - To joke clearly ive convinced myself this was a fake.

Soak in the positive vibes. Repeat for maximum effectiveness. --Lionel Messi meets the Afghan boy who mafe his jersey out of a plastic bag.

Officially lifting my self imposed BY ban.

I dont disagree but theres a difference between UConn's budget and any team already in a P5, so unless theres some mystery donor that ponies up the $ to pay a majority of his buyout then Diaco, regrettably, stays put. UConn routinely ranks in the top 5 of the country in subsidies to its...

Next someone will suggest we fire Ollie and take his remaining salary to pay for Diaco's buyout.. and I thought the cesspool had gone off the rails.

My apologies @politics. UConn doesn't have and won't find $5mill to buyout Diaco's contract. Trying to hire a good OC or DC to put on staff next season that could potentially take over is a decent idea but more than likely fools gold given our financial resources and program instability. Year 4...

That would show him who's boss.

I agree. Great DI guards are instinctual, intuitive, play one or more moves ahead of everyone else on the court. We've watched Purvis for 3 years now and whether its nerves, talent, or coaching, hes never been this player. Rodney is a read and react player and that isn't going to change this...

Whats going on here?

More aggressive, forcing turnovers.. This feels like the time we got punked by West Virginia in Puerto Rico in 2014

Have always been a critic of Purvis but I feel for him tonight. If he doesn't I understand, but I hope he comes out and plays well in memory of Tyrek.

If there were tears to the tendentious attachments surrounding the shoulder joint and/or an impingment of the brachial plexus nerves one could experience muscle fatigue, weakness, and in the case of nerve damage, numbness. It still makes sense to proceed with caution and monitor how the...

Its a shoulder dislocation, just telling you theres not much "critical" information to be had.

Guys, more than likely its both. AG is not going to cause any additional harm to his shoulder joint after its initial dislocation unless there was nerve or tissue damage done, and Alteriques own comments suggests this was not the case. The 3 month assessment is the appropriate time for the 4...

Millennial here, and this is my UConn story.. In 1999 my 5th grade teacher was a UConn Alum and structured Math class on the mens season stats. We all were assigned a player; I got Kevin Freeman, and I watched and tracked his stats every game the entire season. Needless to say watching a...

This plus @billybud read your own post... "Connecticut is an outlier of sorts...in the last 34 years, there has not been a women's basketball national champion from another program that is not a current P5." So I stand by my initial statement except to note you are now wrong twice.

I agree with you and wish Ollie displayed a bit more of JC's intensity, and he had his share dressdowns during losses in conference as well. I mean can you imagine what he said at half of the NC game vs Butler? On the second point I think that the time and expectations are always relative. The...

False, when did Louisiana Tech ('82,'88) and Old Dominion ('85) get into a P5? I note both of Tech's championships just to show that the history of wcbb has been dominated by dynastic teams just like UConn. We are far from the outlier and more like the shining star.

If Jim Calhoun is a top 5-10 coach all time in college then why are we trying to compare Kevin Ollie to him? Ollie became our head coach with no such experience, UConn may never had a chance to hire Jim Calhoun if Northeastern fired him after he only posted 3 winning records in his first 7...
