I think they can. What do they need to do? It would be a great finish if they could -- and then they can head to a bowl game.

How many Bloody Mary's have you had so far? Based on yesterday's performance I'd be shocked if they even win 1, max. 2 of the last 3. The teams are lousy, but so is UConn.

Should they, maybe so. Will they, no, not with the coaching philosophy that we have. No chance

I predict we find a way to beat Tulane but anything could happen. Temple would appear to be a very long shot. BC will be coming off bad losses to Louisville and FSU but still playing for bowl eligibility if they can beat us and then Wake Forest, so they will be motivated. So forget BC. 1-2 over the last three games but 0-3 is a definite possibility.

If you're asking if they can? Yes this team can win any game on any given saturday. Same with any team other team in country. The question you are probably looking is will they win? And that's undoubtedly a no

Sure, if Benedict calls a press conference tomorrow to announce that Les Miles will be replacing Bobby as HC. But since that's not going to happen, there's no way in hell we win the last three games, and unless there's a blizzard, even the Tulane game is a toss up.

Les Miles is like Diaco crazy and completely unwilling to change. He got fired because LSU had an offense as bad as UCONN and he refused to fire Cam Cameron. If you want someone with previous HC experience get the guy from North Dakota State. He's on 5 national championships in a row and has beaten good teams (Iowa and KSU) at this level.

Of course, Uconn can win all their remaining regular season games. 2 of the remaining 3 stink this season, including BC.

Who are you talking about - Bohl who left to take Wyoming job three years ago or Klieman who's only been been there since 2014?

It was a joke because it's not happening. Miles wouldn't take this job if it were offered to him. The point I was making is I'd take almost anybody over Diaco at this point to win these last three games.

Yes they can. You don't need to go any further back than the 2010 season. We were 3-5 coming off a humiliating loss to Louisville which was proceeded by a bad loss to Rutgers and we had a West Virginia team UConn had never beaten coming up next. The Boneyard had threads about firing Edsall and predictions about not winning another game. Well, we won 5 straight and the next game we lost was to Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. The same people that were calling for Edsall's head were now bitching about him leaving for Maryland.

I do not like Diaco as coach. But I think UConn is in a slump. It is possible they can work out of it and finish the season with three wins. along with a bowl appearance.

They can. The Rent is a tough place for opponents to play, especially at night. On the road, we probably are 12-13 point underdogs at Temple.

BC and Tulane are winnable games.

Of course, we can lose all three as well.
