    UConn Men's Soccer - 2025

    I noted the same thing when reviewing the Canadian Fruit game that their speed caused us problems.

    Town of Mansfield unveils vision for mixed-use developments adjacent to the UConn campus

    I may have mentioned before, my son is at The Standard. Same building and floor as one of Kimani's boys. I think he has another son in the same building. I saw him on move in day.

    Time for the men and women to win. Could be.

    The View From Section 241 — Delaware

    Maybe this weekend you should wear a cup, just in case.

    2025/26 European soccer on TV

    Almost 3 weeks and no Shizzle comments. Would not be surprised if you woke up with a horse head in your bed. I realize Liverpool is leading right now, but it hasn't been in impressive fashion. Lots of late goals, including a deserved penalty kick from a handball, elbow really. They're 4-0...

    UConn Men's Soccer - 2025

    Had the cross connected at 89:42, we could have pulled one out of our collective rumps.

    Mora Gut Check Time

    I'm not saying you can't win games here and there, though we struggle with it, I just don't think it's sustainable year to year. Unlike in hoops, our football program is a feeder program who can't afford to have nice things. Even if we did have a good quarterback, what's the chance they stay...

    Mora Gut Check Time

    In this day, it's all about the Benjamins. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking we could have Nick Saban and still fail if the NIL isn't there. I assume many know they won't be in the NFL, so this is their chance to make bank. Just my feeling with no evidence to back it up.

    Delaware Post Game Meltdown

    I know the O wasn't THE key problem today, but I still think Gordo is in over his head. Very little creativity, and I don't mean trick plays. At this point I'd even take a draw play. Few if any passes over the middle. Designed QB runs. Would a little misdirection kill us? With that said, the D...

    The View from Section 241 — Syracuse

    I still believe the play calling in the 4th was vanilla. I was yelling at the TV that you can't run it every time. You need a balanced attack so teams don't sit on the run. I first noticed it between the 8 and 9 minute mark. That's way too early to run clock with a multitude of runs.

    Syracuse post game thread

    My bottom line is that game was nothing but a disappointment. You had the game won, then Gordo clenched his butt cheeks and went into prevent offense way too soon. You can't run it every frickin play when there's 8 minutes to go in the game. He owes the team an apology. To a lesser degree...

    UConn Men's Soccer - 2025

    Certainly we didn't look great, but I thought they played better than against Canada's team. Goals have been tough to come by, but there's some potential there up front. I thought they made some nice passes to switch sides of the field. Not high quality, but entertaining. There were a fair...

    UConn Men's Soccer - 2025

    UConn held on to win, and I mean held on. Canada's team dominated the 2nd half. Their speed caused lots of problems for the defense. I don't know if it was a conditioning thing or if we have a lack of speed issue. Center back Gregory looked good. On offense, a general lack of skill. A number of...

    UConn Men's Soccer - 2025

    Austin Brummet got the first goal @ the 18 minute mark. Syracuse almost tied out with about 10 seconds left in the half. Halftime.

    UConn Men's Soccer - 2025

    UConn up 1-0. Pickering almost made it 2-0 with 6:45 to go in the 1st.
