    I am so proud of these kids

    PLEASE - if we were 7-0 with that schedule, you'd be complaining that we were not ranked in top 15 and not taken seriously by the media.

    Jacobs: UConn should use effort against USF as a turning point

    This was the first game where a 1-A team did not put in their JV team to finish the game. This was a game where our incredibly porous D had a goose egg going for nearly a half. Is USF a top 20 team - unlikely. Neither is Cincy, or Boise. But for the first time this year, we looked like we...

    I am so proud of these kids

    When Washington doesn't even dress due to a coaches' decision, again, it is time to move on. He may be this decade's Cody Endres, just never seeing he field. My sense is if we had ANY depth there, he'd be gone and that this is one of the spots that will open for recruiting. I thought he'd be...

    Almost Time for Another Trip to the Woodshed

    Murderer's Row? We make everyone look like the 27 Yankees. Boise has been mediocre since we saw them, UCF is not dominating, URI, Cuse - enough said - Cincy is a weak 6-0, and Memphis is 4-3. UMass' coach is already salivating, and I fully expect to hear how unlucky we were to not get Tulsa...

    AAC makes it tougher to build a team from scratch

    This confuses the 2 separate expansions. In #1, we were the first partner w/Cuse (not Pitt). In the 2d, we should have been in front of Ville. BC was the impetulant child on #2; frigging Blumenthal owns #1 (and a good piece of #2). Thankfully the good people of CT keep electing him so he can...

    2019 Recruiting Thread

    Not a surprise - I've been expecting 20 in this class. You're not playing as a Jr or Sr. and you are on track to graduation - God speed. No reason a kid who wants to keep playing, can't - he'll just do it elsewhere.

    D Should Be a Smidge Better By Now

    The problem with your argument is that those stats don't tell the whole story. Each of those teams, other than URI, took their foot off the gas pedal, effectively at the half. In other words, those horrendous numbers could be far worse. I support the youth movement, but at some point we all...

    Randy Edsall Welcomes Bye Week, Wants UConn Players To Step Back From Football

    I am fully bought in on the complete revamp and taking our lumps for now approach. However, that approach will fail if the young kids get so down mentally that their longer-term progress is thwarted. I imagine they can read the scoreboard just as easily as us. Moreover, I can't imagine film...

    SB Nation: UConn could have college football’s worst scoring defense since World War I

    Wait until we start attempting onsides kickoffs every time

    Thursday Night Football (NCAA/NFL) Thursday October 4

    The NFL needs to give up TNF. With the next contract, I would imagine the NFL players say enough. It's one thing where in college you don't play the weekend before and/or after, but the pros can't fully recover from a sunday game and play on thursday. This is insanity.

    UConn to Redshirt Key Freshmen, Rely More on Veterans

    I really like this move. He can still play some true fresh. - those who have not played in 4 games and those we just frigging need - but looking for every opp to limit their playing time to 4 games and preserve a year is ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do.
