The second half, and the fourth quarter in particular, was filled with TV time outs—feels like that could impact building a rhythm. The on-field timekeeper must have brought his digital board out at least five times, eating up 2:30 a pop. While sometimes it’s a gift of time to regroup, it felt...

Fire Drill Award goes to Varsity for not pulling the two Connecticut DOT commercials where Edsall reminds us to drive safely and he’ll see us at The Rent on Saturday....

Get Up on ESPN is opining that the UConn decision to cancel football is based on $: not having the ability or resources to adequately test players and staff. Has anyone heard this? I know the program is financially challenged, but I’ve never heard that the inability to test or expense of...

The investigation focused on allegations of disparate treatment including disciplinary action, drug testing, conditioning practices and goals, verbal abuse, as well as lack of follow up on issues and concerns about retaliation if issues were brought forward. Allowing players to wear hats and...

Coach Ferentz was on Golic and Wingo this morning. I didn’t get a good sense he sees or understands the big picture issues. The only specific changes he mentioned were allowing the players to wear hats and earrings and changing the music used during practice. They created a player advisory...

Agree that the introduction should have been later in the game. Why didn’t they introduce the players individually? I recognized Andre Dixon, Kashif Moore, Scott Lutrus, Mike Hicks (?). A mistake to skip introducing them because of the length of the Anthony Sherman video.

Optimum customers: game on channel 74

The Big 10 Network website lists the UConn/Indiana game as available on the Fox Sports app. Downloaded it and voila:

What’s the impact on Connecticut...let’s say next Saturday afternoon? (Not meant to minimize the impact along the coast between now and then.)

Noticeable energy on the UConn bench throughout the game. Lou Spanos regularly went over to the offense when they came off of the field or sat on the bench—even after turnovers—to fist bump or quickly encourage the players. Great to see...brothers for life.

The sound was bad starting with the band pre-game show. The big turn and flourish during “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” wasn’t loud or powerful. Stadium audio was spotty from there on, including the referee’s mic. Several times during the game, the band section mics were way too loud for...

All in. Whining about the future, but all in.

There’s a camp tomorrow. What do they tell players and parents?

I hate this news. How many 2019 season tickets were sold? The number is usually available in May or early June. Could a really bad season ticket number be a factor in all of this? We still have two...for 2019, anyway. Maybe if they convert the seats to recliners, like the movie theaters are...

Edsall on the post game radio show: Pindell hurt ankle, they out toughed us, guys hesitated, didn’t make tackles, not strong enough..... When is it going to change?
