I would not have used the word “Newark.” Newark has been a very unkind to our basketball program.

I mean, we hadn’t beaten a P-4 team in a whopping zero games before Saturday. Or did I imagine driving to Boston last December? No UConn fan isn’t devastated by what happened Saturday. It’s just that most don’’t assume benching a QB who has overall played better than any QB has played for...

We are not yet at the point where any road game should be viewed as an easy game.

Yes, I got that. I was just using the play on the home loss as a contrast. I GET how we blew that play. Aaron Bagsby just screwed up the angle in a horrific way. I don’t get what Cam Chadwick was thinking when he stopped running.

Depends on how you think of markets (and there is not just one way). But forget the state of Florida — the greater Tampa metropolitan area has more people than the entire state of CT (and over 1/4 of nutmeggers are in a different TV market).

I’ll just say this — I don’t fault the coaching on the long TD pass. It was 4th and 4, we win the game if we stop them, we had had success all game pressuring the QB AND we had two defenders who at the least should have been able to tackle the WR for a 20 yard game. I’m still not sure what...

I guaranty you the coaches played the QB who they thought gave us the best chance of winning on 100% of snaps yesterday.

Ugh. Needed two days to even recover emotionally to where I could write this. There was some brief talk about what a comp loss might be to this. Credit to my younger son, but the answer is the ‘09 loss relatively early in the season at Pitt. We were underdogs, we played absolutely great and...

I admire the kids desire to make a play with limited opportunities. And he certainly made one against Central. It’s on the coaches to reel in his aggressiveness a bit.

Attendance and financial support has far more to do with getting where we want to go than winning one or a few games. Anyone making a decision realizes that the on field product will be very different if the school has P-4 TV money to pay players and staff.

When the ACC was deciding between us and Louisville to replace Maryland, we beat a Teddy Bridgewater Louisville team at Louisville when they were ranked, we were bad and our QB got knocked out during the game. It made zero difference. Individual games are not what is going to decide what...

Remind me not to invite him to the circus.

Both not enough execution and over conservative play calling contributed.

No. Not even close. Back when the program mattered, there were a number of these. None recently because it’s been a long time since games mattered

Not much point in doing a 241 this week. That really says it all. Yes, also players didn’t make plays while we were up but there never was the desire to put the game out of reach.
