    Players who wouldve been bigger stars if they were with a different organization

    Wesley Walker great Jets WR who played with terrible QB's and mostly bad teams. He was always open. Put him on those great Steeler teams and he would be far more famous than Lynn Swan as he was a much better player.

    OT: Something you miss from summers you had when you were young

    I miss playing baseball. The anticipation and adrenaline of a big game. Warming up with the catcher prior to taking the mound. Seeing my parents in the stands. Strike one!!

    Reibe and Furphy at FIBA U19s

    Best part about this is maybe we get him for 4 years like Karaban.

    Is John Scheyer the worst coach in college basketball?

    One thing I know for sure, if Flagg picked UConn we would have cruised to a threepeat, no doubt about it.

    What would be the requirements for UConn to join the Pac-12 for football-only?

    PAC 12 for football would be a huge improvement to our schedule and provide a realistic path to the tournament which we do not have now. Hopefully more TV money would come with it. I don't see a downside unless the exit fee was prohibitive.

    Best single season college sports teams of all time (in terms of roster only).

    The ridiculous rules of college basketball back then allowed teams like NC State and 85 Nova to be competitive against far superior competition.

    What's the best sporting event/game you ever attended

    I was there too. Tim McCarver said that was the hardest hit ball he had ever seen. It crashed into the upper deck before it started it's decent. I went to the old Yankee stadium maybe 15 times in my life and was lucky to see three of the top 25 Yankee stadium games as ranked by the Daily News...

    Tom Thibodeau is out as head coach of the Knicks (Merged threads)

    It will be very difficult for the next Knick coach to meet expectations. Thibs just got fired for reaching the semifinals, so I guess its finals or bust next year, and the Knick's two best players don't play defense. Tough gig.

    Should players get a 5th year of eligibility?

    I like it because it would likely benefit UConn. The teams at the top of the sport would benefit the most. We did very well with players getting their 5th covid year. I don't see a downside. I also hate seeing guys at the end of the bench losing a redshirt because they played garbage time...

    Which Final Four team was the best?

    Yup, Newton was a legit first team All American and he was also the 3rd best player on last year's team IMO and our 4th best player just won Rookie of the Year. The 2024 team was also the talk of the basketball world with everyone trying to figure out how to copy our offense. Two of our three...

    UConn's FBS Football Program - what is our mission?

    Nope, The Rent is located a stone's throw away from the state capital, the UConn campus is in the middle of nowhere.

    Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB

    Yeah, Piazza showed up to spring training dramatically shrunken when MLB started cracking down on steroids, same with Bagwell. Pujols is another obvious user who will likely soon be in the HOF.

    UConn's FBS Football Program - what is our mission?

    Rules will just bring back cheating, and more importantly unfair enforcement of the rules. UConn seems to be doing very well in the no rules era; we might miss it when it is gone. Right now our goal should simply be win as many games as possible and change the narrative around UConn football...

    Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB

    Piazza is in the HOF, so put the rest of the steroid users in. I'm convinced Nolan Ryan was a late career user, he looked washed up in 86 and was throwing no hitters in 94.
