    Ask Joe

    I’d like to hear him discuss the coordination he has to have with Center Wes Hoeh on every play to direct the protection that will make or break a play call. What goes on that the average fan misses.

    CT Scoreboard Pod Preview with Phil Steele

    Phil Steele is the Mel Kiper Jr of college football. What Kiper is to the NFL draft, Steele is to the daunting task of researching and evaluating every college team. I love the passion for his work and the encyclopedic level of information he has on every team —and his easy ability to...

    My hot take, don't ever draft a running back in the 1st rd.

    How insane is that franchise. Sanders will eventually become the starting QB. He likely would be wherever he would have landed but how Cleveland sheds these extraneous QB’s will be interesting to see. Several will be trade elements but good freaking luck to that front office.

    My hot take, don't ever draft a running back in the 1st rd.

    Apparently? Look, NFL teams have every right to balk at drafting Shedeur for any legitimate reason but their reasons appear petty and vindictive and will ultimately prove to be misguided.

    My hot take, don't ever draft a running back in the 1st rd.

    It’s actually an accurate take. Now tell me just how much you trusted your 32 Pro franchises about Brady? (Bad example? Maybe, but there are lots of others.) There’s a group mentality that permeates the crowd. It takes a resolute owner and a GM with balls to take on the “circus”—but I say it’s...

    My hot take, don't ever draft a running back in the 1st rd.

    Pardon me, but Shedeur’s the most talented QB in this year’s draft. Those teams that keep passing over Shedeur because they foresee a “distraction” and can’t get beyond his “bravado interviews” and cocky demeanor, will come to regret it. We’re also hearing about (wink wink) his lack of...

    QB Cole Welliver enters Transfer Portal

    Agree. Sitting at the Duke game, the discussion among us was whether Mora would switch to Fagnano at the half. Evers wasn’t moving the team—in a game we were competing hard enough to win. Our consensus was that Mora would make the move (which he should have), but a Duke fan who was listening...

    The 2025 journey begins…

    That's interesting. As we sat in the Duke stadium the consensus of the UConn contingent was that our inability to move the ball in the second Q required a change of QB's at halftime. Ever's lack of accuracy (coupled with poor play calling) later cost us the game. We likely win that game with JF...

    Gordon Sammis next step

    I agree. That Bills loss is on the HC and OC. Chasing two point conversions early—dumb. Trying the tush push with Allen after KC stopped it more than once. dumber!

    Fenway Bowl ESPN Viewership: 2,111,600

    Given that glowing a report, I'll accept a reference to "both teams fans turned out" followed by "the overwhelming support for UConn indicated an unexpected level of interest in their program." I wouldn't be too critical of that mild an editorial comment. It was all good news and a compliment...

    Fenway Bowl ESPN Viewership: 2,111,600

    ”Both the attendance and viewership for the 2024 Fenway Bowl were extraordinary given the circumstances, making it a standout event of the bowl season. The Weather: The game was played on a cold damp late-December day in Boston, a less-than-ideal setting for an outdoor football game. Team...

    The View From Section 241 — UNC

    Nice recap as usual Biz. And Happy New Year. A few thoughts. —Key jingling is passé. Loud voices are timeless. —As for attendance I sent Fenway‘s group ticket supervisor (who I know) this statement I saw on Twitter. “Saturday’s Fenway Bowl between UConn and North Carolina set a new...
