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

    I agree that a football only invite to a solid G5 would be a good option, but it also depends on the strings attached. If it requires substantial challenges to leave, such as a long notice period and/or a big termination fee, it may not be worth it if we still think a P4 invite is possible. We...

    Tarris Reid Jr Status

    We kept hearing that Liam never really healed last year. I'd keep Reed out as long as possible. Mullins also (especially since ankles seem to last), but it would be good for him to get some true playing time in.

    UConn in the NBA Nov 2025

    I've been tracking Tyrese. I always feel for those guys that work hard and keep getting better, but don't get a chance because they don't have the same potential as some lazy guy that has more natural athleticism. Tyrese is one of those guys. He produces more times than he doesn't. So happy...

    2025-26 Coaching Carousel

    I have no issue with the mitigation clause in concept. I haven't seen his specific clause, but it would probably require him to actively search for another job in line with his credentials. That, of course, can be open to interpretation and I don't know how the clauses are general...

    OT: Boneyard Annual Halloween Treat Thread

    First group just came. My wife and I work from home. Rather than ignoring them, we did the bucket and wrote "Take Two Happy Halloween!" This time of day it's usually the little kids. with their parents. This time, the first group was middle school kids. Bastards took the full bowl...

    YTTV losing ESPN family of networks

    Just a quick clarification. YTTV doesn't charge you by screen that accesses YTTV (device on the tv), but you are capped at number of devices running YTTV at any time actively. I have 4 people in my household (2 of whom are in college out of the house most of the year). We have YTTV on at...

    OT: Boneyard Annual Halloween Treat Thread

    No challah and wine for the older kids? Not cool.

    2025-26 Coaching Carousel

    Forgot to show this as a reply to @nelsonmuntz: I don't think U of Chicago would, or could, go big time all sports anymore, but that's only based on knowing the really odd kids that go there (for undergrad). But your comment leads to many questions. Is it an academic consortium that happens...

    OT: Boneyard Annual Halloween Treat Thread

    Necco Wafers, Mary Janes and Bit'o'Honey is our go to. For some reason we get less kids every year when everyone else gets more. Not sure why? In reality, we get less kids than we used to because neighborhoods in my town are cyclical. We're now the street with high school and college aged...

    UConn v. Michigan State 10/28 Exhibition > TV/Streaming ($) info released

    For the Visa we went in to the card’s app and looked up the offers and it had instructions. Not sure about the Walmart process.

    UConn v. Michigan State 10/28 Exhibition > TV/Streaming ($) info released

    FYI, Just learned that our United Visa card comes with Peacock for free. I recommend checking all of your credit cards for offers. For example, my Amex card gives me a credit for Walmart's service that gets me free shipping. That Walmart service gets me free Paramount+. It's a pain in the...

    UConn branded beers, seltzers, cocktails

    Looks like First Cut put out another bottle for the 2025 Women's Team's Championship. The men's bottle was aged 6 years and the women's 7 years. You can't fully read the back of the bottle, but it looks like the same blend and from Indiana, but a couple ticks less proof. Maybe it's the same...

    Sports gambling and fixed card games bring Federal indictments (Merged)

    I'd have to imagine that every player gambles, and many times that gambling is done outside of a legal casino and often high stakes. I'm imagining (total guess) that there is more to this. Something like this was a HUGE Mafia game or system and the FBI is trying to make a splash, Billups was...

    Shabazz Napier Transitioning To Coaching Career

    I know this was a direct response to someone, but I'm just adding that coaching is a tough life. How many coaches stay at a job for 5 years or more? You keep moving to get better gigs, or you get fired with a regime change. Even once you reach the "dream job" level, the team/school will cut...

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

    Firestick MAY have that. There is a "Live TV" button that I've accidentally hit, but I haven't looked into what's actually there and if it can be filtered. I'll take a look. If Xfinity has it, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon just copied it.
