    Talk to me about replacing windows...

    Since we are talking windows, I have two or three windows in my house that have developed a film/cloudiness on the inside of the window. On one I can barely see outside - I assume it’s a faulty/bad seal but not entirely sure. Do I need to replace these windows or is there a way to fix...

    Hurley's Ego

    When JC won his second title in 2004 did he get complacent and let success change him? I don’t believe so. We had stacked teams in 2006 and 2009 that easily could have won titles. We won it all again in 2011. He never lost his confidence or his fire even through all the success he had. Calhoun...

    Cam is a legend

    Outside of winning Monday night and the BET, when he got in Bacot’s face at MSG and started talking **** might be my favorite moment of the season.

    Mick Cronin on UCONN and some Hurley Tidbits

    Never understood the hate for Mick Cronin. Yes, he’s a psycho on the sideline but so was Calhoun and so is Hurley. He’s a passionate coach, but he definitely seems to know his stuff.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

    I was very close to picking Yale over Auburn but changed at the last second. James Jones can coach. Hopeful my pick of Vermont over Duke will hold.

    XL Center reno costs skyrocket

    I am in no way disputing this, but when state or federal funds are used, the regulations become so burdensome. It’s almost impossible to get an accurate estimate because somewhere along the way the regulators find something that increases the cost or delays the project.

    PC/Creighton thread

    A Nova win next gets us an old school BE semifinals. MSG will be rocking.

    I love Danny, but….

    Hurley is surrounded by security at these games. I don’t think he has much to worry about. Some guy was running his mouth and Hurley told him there would be repercussions if he were to try anything. Why is everyone acting so upset over that? Hurley is not the type of guy who’s going to back...

    BET UConn Sections

    I am unable to go Thursday for the Quarterfinal so I was thinking about Friday for the Semifinals or Saturday for the Final. What is the best way to go about getting tickets? I assume you can only get them on the secondary market now, is that correct?

    Kevin Ollie to be Nets Interim Head Coach

    Lol at some of these replies. The NBA game and the college game are drastically different. Ollie is more suited for the NBA as he was a veteran for 13 years. I think he’ll do a great job. If Ollie has success it’s that much better for our program. Why people hope he fails is beyond me. Do I...

    Pitino trying to motivate his players -but I’m not sure that type of motivation works these days.

    Bouknight at UConn

    The guy just got cut from an NBA team and might not be back in the league anytime soon, if at all. Not a week or so later and he’s back on campus with the team. Part of me think this was a mutual arrangement and he probably wants some advice/help from Hurley and staff and maybe, just maybe...

    Seton Hall Post Game Thread

    Beat Gonzaga, Beat UNC, Beat Texas, Beat Indiana. Should have beat Kansas. We looked good in all of those games. Big East is no joke. Marquette just lost to Providence. We will not win every game, it’s not reality to think we will. Learn from the sloppy play and move on. Better bring our A...

    FS1 in standard def?

    I have Samsung with YouTubeTV and I’ve noticed the picture quality has been a bit off. The background focus is always blurry and distorted and it makes it difficult watching. Anyone else have this problem?

    Question everything here

    Tough to get guys in the portal when the stigma of the program is that of a dumpster fire. Who would want to play here? I follow JMU football somewhat due to the fact I know a few people who went there. When I saw this game on the schedule I immediately knew it was a loss. They are a legit...

    Some pretty blunt assessments from Jim Mora

    I was talking to someone the other day about UConn Football - someone who doesn’t follow it as closely as some of us do. What they said was UConn needs a major donor or two. He was right. We just don’t have the financial backing and boosters needed to compete. Plain and simple. You can talk...

    Where does UConn go from here?

    What Charter charges me every month should be constituted as theft. I just can’t seem to cut the cord. This might finally be it though - a few channels I tend to watch are now blocked and somehow they’ll find a way to raise their prices. Think I’m finally done with them.

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    I agree with this. I think a lot of Realignment has to do with back room wheeling and dealing of power brokers. We all know that the wealthy in New England shun UConn and have for decades. Hell I’ve met people that don’t think UConn is all that great. I’d put UConn’s academics against any New...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    The demise of the PAC-12 has been known for a long time. Everyone knew once USC and UCLA left for the Big Ten that the PAC was going to be unable to sustain itself. Why was Oregon going to stay there? The rumors about them going to the Big Ten have been out there for as long as the rumors about...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    So ultimately we will likely end up back in a conference with what will be the ACC rejects?

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Maybe the raiding of the PAC-12 is all the Big XII ever wanted. We are a state flagship university that just won a national championship and have proven athletic and academic success. Not to mention we open up to a new market. If we haven’t been offered yet, then what are they waiting for...

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    Brewport is great. However, Bridgeport has been lacking in the pizza game otherwise. I like New Haven style the best and most spots in Bridgeport are too greasy with little to no char on the crust.

    What side of the rivalry are you on- Boston/New York

    Fairfield County - as a kid I was a huge Knicks and Giants fan. At some point I Started rooting for the Jets as I liked some of the players so everyone considers me a Jets fan, but in all honesty I’ve always been more fond of the Giants. First MLB game was a Mets game so naturally I became a...

    Possible Big 12 Invite rumors

    Not sure if this has been mentioned in the 56 pages but if UConn does accept a Big 12 invite what are all your feelings on no more conference tourney in MSG? I got to think Benedict and the UConn brass want UConn in MSG in March. Anyway Big 12 would want to and if they did, can they work a deal...

    OT: Another Alabama Basketball Player Arrested

    A lot of blame on Nate Oats, Alabama, the SEC. This is probably more common than you think, problem is some players get caught and some don’t. Why does everyone this day and age want to blame everyone else but the one who committed the crime?

    RIP Yags

    How did he get so involved in the New England basketball scene? Was he a former player/coach? What was his actual role - was he a scout? If so what does that actually entail?

    Andre Jackson Testing the NBA Draft Waters: ESPN

    Andre surely has the athleticism and determination to be a first rounder. Obviously I would love to see him back for one more season, but if he’s got the opportunity to be drafted then he needs to seize that opportunity. It’s truly my belief that if he does stay one more year he will be in...

    Kevin Ollie in running for Piston Job?

    Ollie can coach in the NBA. I don’t think the coaches do much these days. Maybe someone can prove to me otherwise, but it’s a players league as has been for years.

    We need a current UConn player to be a NBA star player

    Hawk is still progressing. Bouk was as well - both guys clearly would benefit from another year of college ball, but you don’t pass up the money when you have the chance. Anything can happen between this season and next, so if you have a chance to sign a multimillion dollar contract you do it...

    McDonald's Men's All American Game ESPN 9 PM

    I get it, but isn’t Camden a public high school? How does this exactly work? Don’t you need to show residency? I get catholic schools, prep schools, academies, etc. but how does that exactly work for a public school? No difference between Camden High and Bristol Central in that regard, or am I...

    McDonald's Men's All American Game ESPN 9 PM

    Absolutely insane that DaJuan Wagner Jr. is a third generation All-American and likely a third generation NBA player. Even more impressive is Camden, NJ which is smaller than most of CT’s largest cities produced two AA’s in one year.

    OT: Friday Sweet 16 Games

    Would love to revenge the two losses to Xavier in the Final Four. Icing on the cake would be a championship win over Creighton.
