No white board. No notes.

Sorry Pal, but I actually do care and happen to love it when Sean McDonough makes mention when the player is a "former UConn, (BC or Syracuse) player that he's broadcasting about in their new spot (based on his New England roots and being a 'Cuse alum.) Anytime I can hear "UConn" on a broadcast...

Jetskies is correct. NIL was a major factor. It was the first year of getting the bigger donors lined up to pay for better talent. Not playing Nick would have been "an admission that their money had been wasted". Starting him at Maryland was expected, but after the debacle at Maryland including...

My understanding was he was cleared the day before the game. He may not have practiced enough to participate, especially in those conditions (mere conjecture).

While our group sat during pregame in the bitter cold (in seats built for 1912 bodies), one of our guys said he found what he called "the best bet on the board" and we should pound it to cover all our expenses and provide us all with a steak dinner. His track record is pretty good. What was the...

What the heck is happening at Sports Illustrated and elsewhere. Accuracy is a rarity. Timeliness is a joke. We heard for days that Skyler Bell wasn't playing. Now we hear he never said it. And just yesterday, SI.com's college football reporter provided some important new info about our Husky...

If you've been feeling a bit discouraged about the opt outs at our Bowl game--and want to feel good again about our program and the quality of players we've recruited--watch the Louis Hansen and Skyler Bell press briefings. These two outstanding guys are as impressive as any I've seen in those...

My contact at Fenway Park told me today about 20,000 tix have been sold--so far. Last year it was 28,000.

While I'm not thrilled that we're repeating the Bowl venue, nor happy about the opt outs, I'm still encouraging all UConn fans to show up at Fenway! No matter which players are wearing those uniforms on the 27th, we support the Blue and White. With a chance to get to 10 wins we should make our...

I don't see how the UM Trustees and Prez let Warde Manuel hire the new coach. He's fast becoming the pariah in this drama.

Well Tom, I did look up the ACC tiebreaker rules and here's the ridiculous reality: Had the ACC used any other Power Conference’s tie-breaking system the league would have sent a different participant to the title game than Duke. Here's who would have played Virginia had the ACC been using the...

Jason Candle was a guest on Full Ride this week (Wednesday 12/3). Here's the audio.

I've had my eye on Ryan Carty, HC of Delaware. He's both experienced and an up and comer. He's got an aggressive offensive philosophy. If he came perhaps he'd bring his QB Nick Minicucci--who was impressive when we played them. His salary is under $1M at UD. I like his background--his success...

None of our "better players" are moving blind to the portal. They're aware of what the offers are. Agents have been working the phones. There's big money for Ben out there in Portal land.

Mora has no connection to Ft.Collins and Colorado St. His son Trey went to Colorado Boulder and was in SAE fraternity with my grandson. I was told by a "reliable source" (guess not--lol) that if (when) Jedd Fisch took the UCLA job, JM was penciled in at U Washington. I would totally understand...
