It's a great day when UConn basketball is looking to UConn football for role models.

You have to think the reason UConn football has had ~3 ACC teams on its schedule in recent years is that the ACC is helping UConn build up its program, and establish rivalries with ACC schools. If the ACC wasn't talking to UConn behind the scenes in preparation for a possible union, you wouldn't...

Here Mora gets to be the boss. The AD, the fans, the donors want to help him. At bigger programs Mora would have a hundred bosses. The administration, the fanbase, the donors, all demanding to be pleased. He can make more money elsewhere, he can have a better shot at championships elsewhere...

He's going to have a huge year. He's so quick and it looks like the mind has caught up to the body.

I think this scenario puts UConn in a good place. The Huskies would be on a level with the P4 teams that have suffered a death spiral. That's an upgrade from where we stand now. The reality is that the top teams will need a supply of second-tier teams to inflate their records. They can't just...

Maybe not money, but some clothing for the football team: New Balance and Boston College Expand Their Historic Sponsorship - Boston College Athletics New Balance is based in Boston so they probably want to make sure the local teams don't go on the field naked.

Above is what he said to spark the kerfuffle. "Passed" by itself does not bring permanency, but "passed permanently" does. If a political reporter writes that "X has passed Y permanently in the polls," it is fair to interpret that as a statement that the reporter is claiming X will therefore...

UConn has passed BC in basketball, that much is obvious to everyone. But that UConn's passing of BC is permanent is speculative. It's surely proper to say that UConn's passing of BC seems to be permanent, but eternity is a long time, so it's reasonable to avoid the prediction that it is permanent.

I'm not missing out. When they started playing again I started watching.

Michigan only lost by two, but they were emotionally crushed because they lost to Cincy. Since the players are pros now, might as well have a pro-length season.

Yes, Mora's been great.

I'm a fair weather UConn football fan. When they cancel seasons I lose interest.

Great kid! Great work by the staff to find him.

Ruffballs not real!!?? Next thing you'll tell me Senor Testiculo wasn't real.

We're first! (I thought it might be alphabetical but Ole Miss is to the right of Purdue. So maybe order is meaningful.)
