UConn had the backing of a BCS league at the time. That was huge in getting talent, resources, etc. Look what happened to UConn once the BCS label disappeared. Granted it took a few years, UConn has turned the corner and has been on an upward trajectory under Mora. I give credit to Mora, but...

Not many land grant state universities are in big population centers. It’s not like UConn is in downtown Hartford. It’s in one of the least populated parts of the state.

I get it. That’s why I said team will use this game for different purpose, ie to evaluate players, lineups, etc. Doesn’t change fact that I want a blowout. And if we only win by 10, I will be disappointed.

I know it’s an exhibition but would still like to see an absolute drubbing. A 10 point win would be a little underwhelming. I know the team is using this for a different purpose, but I want it to send a message to BC that they just don’t belong on the same court. Up 30 with 3 seconds left and...

Yeah but look at ACC standings. The top two team are 3-0 in conference. That’s 6 wins against p4. If you go down standings, that’s 13 wins presumably against p4 teams. Does AAC have 14 P4 wins?

How does AAC have more P4 wins than ACC? Am I misreading that? Or is the article misstating something like out of conference P4 wins maybe?

Keep up the intensity suggests there was some intensity in the first half. Maybe the last three minutes people became a little louder but it was pretty weak overall for what I’ve seen at the Rent.

This FIU team lost to Penn State by 34.

Didn’t look too far off from 30K. But, it wasn’t a quality 30K. No juice, no intensity, and somewhat pre-occupied with something other than the game. I think that was the only fault today. Maybe it was the heat. team was clicking, defense was making big plays, and offense was moving ball in...

😂😂😂😂

Don’t forget the traveling fans. Fiesta Bowl ring a bell?

Way too early to start this. From where the program was to having a couple bad games is hardly putting Mora on the hot seat. This is very different from what we’ve seen in the RE era. The team is competitive. We should be 3-0. In the last two games, the team was in the drivers seat. The team...

Running Game? 2nd game in a row they couldn’t get a first down to seal the game.

In the last series, it was basically run run run. But edwards had a nice 25 yard run and a 7 yard run. They did get to the Syracuse 39 before the drive petered out. They definitely moved the ball. They just stalled out. Yes, it was conservative but it did work to an extent.

Haven’t lived there in 30+ years. That’s what it was called back then. If you have a house and are raising kids, really not such a bad thing.
