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...

You nailed it Biz. But as magnificent as Joe and the O were out there--making clutch plays all afternoon--especially on that last gasp 15 play 75 yard scoring drive---and as porous and inept as our D was, in the end the game came down to an incredibly improbable last second miss of a very...

The Bowl says it picks from BIG 12 and SEC--but if we were to slide in vs Baylor it would be a great trip, great game and a chance for BIG 12 folks to take stock of what UConn might look like playing in the conference. Given our growing notice by sports media (and who knows whether there would...

Becoming interesting is the first step to becoming coveted. And if there are two conferences interested all the better. Keep on winning. The articles are starting to flow about the unappreciated jewel in Connecticut. The basketball is a given. Yormark was pushing for us. Perceptions shift. The...

I'd want to know how happy his wife Kathy is living here in Connecticut. (See Rhett Lashlee)

I had the same feeling. I was praying for a win but even if we lost, hoping that the atmosphere would entice better attendance going forward. Yes Mensah was the second best on the field Saturday. And he's getting paid $8M over two years. “Duke quarterback Darian Mensah reportedly received an...

Even though the trick plays were clunky in some way--and all failed (except the fake punt) the team should and will work to correct the flaws in their execution. Don't give up on them.
