    Buffalo Post Game Thread

    No complaints about winning. Should be 5-0, But are 3-2. I look at their record as the old 3-0-2…. They’ve played five football games and have late fourth quarter leads in all of them. Beats getting your brains beat out.

    Courant Sports Section

    No. Abraham, Woj, Chardis (my MAN!) were all there and battled like it was to the death. Koonz, The Courant horde, I forgot who Register was but Jacobs, Smith, Solomon, Elsberry, DiMauro were fighting for the word edge wise everyday. It was amazing. 5 columnists, at a minimum, for games.

    Ball State Post Game Thread

    This is crazy. Get a win. Team has some issues on defense and can get better. Should be 4-0, but 4-0 or 2-2, destination is same place. I would shoot for 9-3 as an expectation. They end up there, we happy?

    Courant Sports Section

    Everyone is diminished these days. They have 4 sports writers at the courant, down from about 20+ staff members just 15 years ago. Hearst has consolidated the entire state by buying the JI, Waterbury recently. They have their writers cover it. Athletic doesn’t have UConn writers anymore...

    Brown was ridiculous. Can't wait until they come to the rent and UConn puts up 40 on them.

    Syracuse post game thread

    I don't know. What decision would we have done differnt? Fagnano is inconsistent with his accuracy. It cost the team a chance to put the game away.he was under 50% passing. That is who he is. He can get ball verticial, but its not precise downfield. Great throws and then some bouncers...

    Syracuse post game thread

    Was it malpractice when the passes aren't on target? They had a ton of plays left out there. Disappointed in the defense folding late. Not sure where breakdowns were. Also, the OT TD by Syracuse wasn't a catch. Why did they not review it? Also, played game like they didn't think Syracuse...

    Dan Hurley “Seriously” Considered Stepping Down From UConn Last Year

    Great coach, it he might be a shooting star who burns out. Mental heath more important than longevity. Enjoy him while he is happy. And Dan, relax.

    What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

    This is a thing only in CT. For last 20 years every attendance was looked at as fake. The real number is tickets distributed. Like, if a ticket was printed and given to someone, that is still revenue. Marketing or promotions has a budget to pay for those. I don't get why other programs give...

    What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

    Central been trying since I was covering the team. Issue is money. The state won't let them spend much on athletics. So, Q-Pec and Sacred Heart jumped them into the MAAC. Hockey had a lot to do with it too. Now? I feel that New Haven will jump them as well. CCSU needs a better hoops arena...

    OT: Teachers of Boneyard...Back to School Time

    Wife works as a para. I told her to get her behind to work. To all those teachers out there, get to work. In all seriousness, love all the teachers and can't wait for my daughter to become one. Have a safe year and make sure your students don't use AI.

    What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

    Anything over 20k is good. Lots of families away this weekend, especially corporate people.
