    Is University of New Haven Going To Go FCS?

    Not saying it's a good or bad move, but I think UNH had to move up in football (or shut the team down) if they wanted to move up in basketball.

    Death Storm 2.0

    Got my Ariens in 2006 from Home Depot. It's a smaller unit because my garage 20 years ago was tiny. Engine still runs great with occasional maintenance. It's been shaking this winter. I think it started after I ran over a frozen newspaper. It didn't break the pin, but it's not as steady. I...

    Death Storm 2.0

    I'm in Northeastish NJ. I've been trying to stay ahead of the storm. I have a 20 year old snow blower. Quality machine, but it's compact so it doesn't have the weight to sometimes get through the really bad stuff the plows throw on to our driveway/sidewalk. Wen out last night at 11pm and...

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

    How awesome would FCS be if a chunk of the G5 dropped. I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming. What does a lower level G5 league really get out of FBS? We just lost a couple bowls that had G5 teams playing a P4. I'd be shocked if we didn't lose more bowls in the future. Less P4 teams are...

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

    The goal of Cal State schools is to provide accessible, high-quality, affordable public higher education that prepares a diverse student body for the workforce and fosters social mobility. Most of the Cal States (other than SDSU) have a lot of commuters, part-timers and people that can't...

    Top 25 men's college basketball teams of all time

    I'm just impressed they didn't put 98-99 Duke ahead of our 98-99 team.

    Why is the Big East terrible for UConn and where should UConn go instead?

    TLDR: I think we're stuck in the Big East so we need the other teams to suck it up and get better. I'd like us to find a football home because I don't think Indy is sustainable... or fun. Long version: We love to reference the Peanuts comic of Lucy pulling the ball from Charlie Brown. I...

    Nadav interviewed by Donny

    Providence fans yelled some stuff towards him also, but a player doing it is crazy. Mourning would probably say it was to get in his head, and that's just what guys do. But there are lines. Regarding worst loss... it was the Florida one for me. We were going to make that first Final 4. It...

    What are you binge watching?

    Should've been better, but definitely worth the watch. Some good ideas and production, but I found myself yelling at the characters to do something else that seemed obvious on a number of occasions. I like the Cobb character. My wife and I just kept saying "This poor guy. What else can...

    Minimalist Wallets

    I've bought 3 wallets over the past 30+ years. I like a thin front pocket leather wallet that can fit 2 credit cards, license and insurance card with enough room to throw in a hotel key-card. I like the kind that has a built-in money clip. I had two coach wallets, and now have a Tumi wallet...

    Peacock Question

    I have no issue rewinding, pausing, etc. Only issue is that it's not as easy to rewind/fast forward with control so you can blow through things, or have to go slowly. I just a firestick or my ipad.

    Lantern Flies: How bad you got them?

    I was on a tour of UConn with my kids a couple years ago and a few lantern flies hopped into our vicinity. I went out of my way to squish them while the tour guide was telling us about some building. Many on the tour looked at me like I was crazy. One woman gave me a nod of respect...

    February General CBB Discussion Thread

    Rick was respectful, but if you read between the lines, he's calling out certain Big East programs. He said that the status of the Big East would be a factor in his decision whether to keep coaching at St. John's. He said that every school should commit to $9-$11mm in NIL. He also called out...

    February General CBB Discussion Thread

    Just came to this thread to see if Wagler was being talked about. He's my favorite non-UConn player right now. Reminds me a bit of freshman Jeremy Lamb. I love the kids game, but I think it's also because he looks like a college freshman. I have a college sophomore and Wagler looks like he...

    Big East January '26 Thread - Take Two

    DePaul throwing the game away, but the refs helping. Big East officials are not good. DePaul has missed at least 5 easy layups. Like point shaving bad (but I don’t think they are shaving).
