It is the latter. He can coach, but relationships still matter.

Downtown Detroit is unrecognizable from 5 years ago. It has a legit restaurant scene now and I think will be a great host. The biggest criticism is the lack of hotels, but the fan experience downtown will be great. Greektown is cool too with lots of places that can manage large crowds. I like...

Most colleges and universities need to make these kinds of cuts. Higher education is one of the few sectors where institutions continue to sustain programs that are costly and generate little to no return. It’s difficult to justify paying tenured faculty to support areas that have effectively...

I drove from Michigan, and it felt like 9 out of every 10 cars heading to Indianapolis had Michigan plates. Every stop along the way was packed with people in yellow—no question they had a huge presence, and it certainly helps when your color stands out like that. That said, my section was...

I just purchased two tickets. My dad was a huge fan his entire life and died before 1999. Sometimes you just got to do it.

On a positive note, it is another hard fought win. Like all other hard fought wins, Hurley tells us how well coached and great the team is that we just beat. But this time, our opponent can’t get obliterated in their next game. Furman is done so we can move on thinking they are great and we got...

Best thing for this team is to be shipped as far away from CT as possible.

2 games or their play since December?

Our record against the spread has to be among the worst in the country.

I agree. Take this for what it is worth, but one of the best HS coaches in the country told me he was surprised when UConn took Ball and Ross (they were HS teammates)--no slight to either player because they are very good players and by all accounts great teammates, but he did question whether...

Ryan Boatwright was a tough dude. This one is different. but he took no crap from Alonzo Mourning and some verbal abuse, and stuck it in his face, Nadav Henefeld.

How many football programs can truly win a football national championship? Maybe 15 schools? Now that the Bowl system is gutted, what is it that everyone is playing for all year? This system is so broke. What is the case for anyone giving UConn (and a bunch of other schools) NIL to players on...
