Should we give up ?

Is it time to stop pouring money down a rat hole in pursuit of "big-time" football?

(a question, not an opinion)

 

[coachcap]

In a word:NO!

I think you should give up the Internet.

Should you stop beating your dog? Just a question not an opinion. Hmmmm, seems like most questions have an opinion in there somewhere.

Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

[BugsyCT]

We have a $100 million taxpayer-paid football stadium sitting in E. Htfd. Too much investment already. So no, we don't give up just because things suck now.

I always appreciate a clear, insightful, relevant, and brief response to a question. I now understand the rationale for continuing to field inferior teams.

Why would you ask this question on a UConn football board? Of course the answer is going to be no. Go on the Courant or FBook where 99% of people will say yes if that's what is going to tickle your fancy.

The use of "rat hole" says two things:

1. You already have an opinion.
2. You prefer a round ball over the oblong one.

Damn BBall DooshebaggS are loving this. Break out the torches and shovels and form the drop-it mob again.

How's this for clear?

You're either a troll or an idiot.

It's mind boggling how guys think the only way to save the athletic program is to cut football. ANYTHING SHORT OF A P5 INVITE IS A DEATH SENTENCE FOR THE SCHOOL. My god you guys are stupid.

Your posts are still idiotic.

It's a joke from the movie "Animal House". Most everybody here assumes that almost everybody has seen the movie and will understand that reference.

Now this is concerning. Not a fan of cinema I guess but hoo wee.

Hey Woof... for a $25 donation to the The Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center @ UConn in the Boneyard's name I can make the post above (and those that follow it) go away ...

Yep it's the Boneyard for more reasons than one. Indeed it is.

No it's not. This is the same guy who threw a tantrum when DJ Hernandez was on the Michigan ticket a few years ago.

Zero. Point. Zero.

Fire Diaco on Jan 1. Hire TJ Weist or Joe Moorhead for $1M a year. After 3 years you've essentially covered the buyout.

That's all well and good but unless Donovan Williams is the savior and will start as a redshirt freshman..you could bring in Chip Kelly in here and he still has BS at qb. A new coach isn't going to change that...sorry to say.

Even with BS - we could have won the SU, Navy and MU games. Coaching matters.

I disagree...look at UCF and Diaco having to call a timeout when he had team in redzone in first half. Team is lined up and he can't miss play clock heading into student section end zone. He just isn't a good QB...tough yes, gutsy yes, a good college QB at this level..nope. There is a reason why NC State head coach Dave Doren wanted to make him a fullback.
