Mora got us to a point where we were able to get a coach like Candle.

What you write sounds so noble. And yet I can’t help but believe that what you write is just as selfish. That Bell and Fagnano fulfill your particular needs. There is nothing wrong with any of us wanting ten wins and a resume that makes the UConn football program appear more attractive. But...

I recognize the importance of winning the bowl game and getting to 10 wins. We’re resume building for power conference auditions. And yes I’m bummed not getting one last chance to see the combo of Fagano and Bell do their magic in a UConn uniform. However put me in the category of...

Whoa!

Ross hardly played his first two seasons. He needed minutes to become comfortable with game speed. We can safely say he's achieved that. His hesitation on offense is primarily because of the role he plays. Same with Stewart. They are the fifth scoring option when they are on the floor...

Neither did I

Doesn't an inflated sense of ego apply to individuals who go on talent shows with absolutely no talent and are shocked and angry when they get booted off? Or office workers who barely can do simple tasks that believe they should be CEOs? Even before 23 and 24 they made mistakes with...

It’s a cultural thing. Certain areas of this country emphasize the importance of the fans role regarding attendance. Community pride and pressure starts young and remains strong generation to generation. Citizens in New England in general and Connecticut in particular have always been proud...

Hey @Scrappy3 great to hear from you. For those of you that have forgotten Scrappy was the poster who always predicted we would go unbeaten every season. His initial post is in line with who he is - our version of RutgersAl.

It should be by thirds. The inbounder, the receiver and our other players who couldn’t get free. I guess it could be fourths if the refs let opposing players hold our players.

It’s not just his on player defense. He slips through screens as good as anyone on the team, he switches quickly, and he is constantly evaluating the floor for help defense. What he does is disrupts opponents half court offense by impacting their flow. He was a no show in the first half...

IF the refs are doing it as payback to Hurley’s behavior sooner or later they’ll realize that all it does is put a chip on our players shoulders. It’s not working refs. Speaking of foul, that’s the perpetual state of the chat room.

All last season I wondered how many points Samson would have scored had he played with Newton and Spencer.

The big cheaters suddenly faced competition.

Didn’t feel you were being snarky. Just letting you know I recognize that advantage and I believe the other advantage is just as important and more predictable imo. It’s why JC, Hurley and Geno stress defense more than offense. If you can get both like in 24 then you’re almost unbeatable...
