    Rice post game thread

    Those are outcomes not solutions, other than spending money which is magically going to come from where? In my opinion Mora has pieced together some good teams given what he has to work with. We're fortunate to have someone with his experience at this stage of his career. He goes and we are...

    OK........and your solution?

    Rice post game thread

    Those questioning Mora in terms of rebuilding this program are out of their minds. JF is a special player and probably as good a QB as we've ever had. Team was flat after a big win at BC. It happens. Would not be at all surprised if we take down Duke at home in two weeks.

    The View From Section 241 (or QQ) — BC

    I think the bigger and more relevant question is how does BC fix a broken athletic department. You keep on losing in the major sports like they are and you won't have much of a following. Are they committed to major college athletics? The ACC money is great, but to what end?

    You do realize that UCONN has won NCs under three different coaches….right?

    And here's the thing.......why does a school like BC with topflight academics need their athletics to compete at the highest level? Why endure all of the financial uncertainty with little chance of competing for championships in the major sports? BC is not alone in this quandry. I suspect...

    Be very interested to know what NB commits to BC. It's hard for me to believe NB goes too deep with BC. That said, NB is a $7B revenue company and Nike about $50B. The comparison of BC to Oregon is....well.....who would you rather have promoting your brand?

    Totally agree with that. DeFelipo was completely over his head. He was certainly not a business person and appeared to be a really insecure guy. Major college athletics in the northeast needed UCONN to be successful. Hell, Syracuse and BC hated UCONN. What more do you need to fill stadiums...

    OT: Lease vs Buy Car

    Not totally relevant here, but we just bought a new car. Manufacturer has a 0% financing option available which we grabbed of course. At the dealership we meet with &I guy to get the paperwork done and he asks - "so do you want to put any additional down on the purchase (reduce the loan...

    Your're right. DB has done an excellent job. I just don't know how long UCONN can continue to fund at a level to stay competitive without P4 revenue. Frankly, I'm not sure how sustainable any of this is including for most in the P4. To attract and retain the best talent is going to require...

    The View From Section 241 (or QQ) — BC

    The irony of all this is that there is every probability that we end up in a conference with BC and Cuse at some point. When the P4 bifurcates it's going to be mostlly the BiG and SEC and a handful of the ACC and Big XII. The rest will not be able to compete with the funding required to...

    BC Post Game Thread

    Coaching was off the charts good. On offense the pass first approach I think caught BC off guard and then we ran the ball in the second half just the right amount for clock and ball control. Very well done. The defense made great adjustments in the second half. Once BC was forced to throw...

    Game Week 2025: UConn @ Boston College Eagles (Saturday 10/18/25 at Alumni Stadium @ Noon on ACCN - Audio on UConn Varsity Network & Fox Sports 97.9)

    That's how I see it. And the question for Stanford is do they really need to compete at that level in athtletics given all of the cost and uncertainty surrounding that. Their academics and influence surpass the need for top fligtht athletics......I suspect. Look at the cost at PSU to relieve...
