Fox just rubbed salt in the wounds

At the end of the Giants game they ran an ad "Joe Williams and the Utah Utes vs Richard Lagow and the Indiana Hoosiers".

It was for a bowl game.

Pisses me off!!!!!!!

Lagow played football at the same high school where my son played football. I was so disappointed when he left UConn. And now that he's had some success, it makes me want to throw up. I'm happy for Lagow, but I'm sick that we couldn't find a spot for him.

 

[RSTuthill]

Well, remember that Lagow had major reservations about UConn to begin with. He took extra time to send in his commitment paperwork and then there were questions about whether he would actually show up. Then when he did show up he bailed quite quickly and ended up at OK State where he walked on or red-shirted (can't remember which) and then transferred the following year. Turns out his instincts about UConn were probably right.

 

[BNich]

I saw this as well. How ironic that two UConn cast offs are studs at different programs.

 

[ktuck911]

Lagow was right in leaving. We were/are a mess on offense.

Fixed it for you.

 

[uconndogs]

The program under P was in shambles. He could not manage the kids. He had plenty of talent.

Diaco has the program in a mess too. I think he manages the kids OK, he's just inept as a coach...........which is a bit of a problem.

We got Boyle. He left.

So funny I was wondering who was going to post this first. I sent a group text when I saw it to the handful of people I know irl who know who they are.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Saw that was going to post here. Sad!

Need to insert a JUCO year between walking on @ OK St and enrolling @ Indiana.

Yes it's called the Kivon Taylor era. It was glorious.

Indiana got Lagow. We got well whatever this is.

 

[CTMike]

Look at how many years and how many stops it took for Lagow to be serviceable. Who here would have had the patience for that to develop?

and he probably wouldn't have developed well here anyway. The coaching has just been terrible. I'm sure there are kids on the squad right now who are either overlooked or have tons of potential that just isn't being honed. I really hope we're getting an OC from outside the "family" that can come in and evaluate everyone with new eyes.

Memories.... circa 2013

Ecke, Cochran, Whitmer, Lagow, Taylor, Boyle

It's so weird how other schools have quarterbacks. Then they keep adding more quarterbacks. Then a quarterback graduates and then the next quarterback plays.

We turn our quarterbacks over more often than 7-11 swaps out the Twinkies.

Oh he's better than our current options. And the position has fallen off a cliff. It just seems sometimes that we lament the loss of the 2016 version of kids, when in reality they weren't close to that while they were here. But, yes... potential was there, if given years and years to develop. And not running from competition, etc.

 

[jackl]

He probably felt that he had better offensive coaches in high school. Thinking, "why aren't the big uglies using the blocking sleds". Even if I get in I'm going to get killed.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

My basic point is that it is sickening that we are in the position we currently are in while the players on two P-5 schools who are meeting in a reasonable bowl game that Fox felt had the best marquee value for their advertisement just happened to have begun their careers here.

I want to know what it was we did that damned us to this circle of hell.

What do you mean? Everyone is being very patient with Donovan Williams!

I don't agree with you often Carl, but the hate DW has gotten after starting 3 games as a true freshman is unbelievable.

Clemson has a 5* QB commit for both 17 and 18. They have 3 4* QB's on the current roster who are backups. And they have Watson. They are on a different level in terms of QB recruiting than every team in the country.

I figure a Syracuse grad made the spot.

Sitting on a beach sipping umbrella drinks while Hookers & Blow Community College ran an end around play on us. They were probably laughing at us from the VIP suite at that time.

Very little of it is directed at DW himself.
