I wonder if there were issues with footing. A couple plays looked like the runner wasn’t able to make great cuts. Almost like trying to change direction on ice, but not as bad.

Our defense got throttled yesterday, no doubt. But there was one guy Tyquan King who was out there late in 4th quarter giving it everything. Shout out to that kid for showing up and playing with some fire. On one play late, he just stuffed the runner on 3rd down for no gain. They couldn’t stop...

The tickets I bought from UConn ended up being $10 cheaper. And we ended up standing in section that our original seats were in. Still annoying.

Why? Because of yesterday’s exhibition? Under him, UConn had a high powered offense. He’s used the teams talents to its fullest. He’s a solid coach on the rise. I didn’t think he was ready for HC position, but would’ve been happy if he stayed. I think he’ll do well at TCU with maybe more...

Our defense could not stop Army. I doubt we win by 20, but we would definitely have had more points than 17 and Army probably less than 41.

Where did you see sparse crowd? Was at game. Thought turnout was solid despite all the question marks with coaches, players etc. I saw # listed at 28K or so. My guess is a 50/50 turnout between Army/Uconn. That’s not bad for meaningless bowl game. I have no idea what the revenue deal is...

Agree with some of comments about the game. Was very apathetic, went anyway, and was miserable. You seem to be very focused on every game being some indication or measure of UConn’s P4 candidacy. This game meant nothing in that regard. Yes, this game sucked. It was a tough matchup for...

I purchased tickets online through Stub Hub. Didn’t want to be near home plate because view of field is horrible, so got some near 50 yard line. As of 2:00, tickets never delivered. Dealing with Stub Hub, they offered me upgraded seats, at home plate for same price…. So on the T, headed to...

ND will continue their schtick until they can’t. As long as they can dangle the ‘hey, if you’re nice to us, maybe it’s your conference that will win the ND sweepstakes’. Yes, ND provides value to ACC. But they also create instability.

Meh, a win is a win… 🙂

We hired a very good coach from the MAC. He has to get bodies quickly, so he’s going to what he knows and who he has relations with. Don’t see this as an issue. Mora did the same thing.

I’m guessing the media $’s play a huge piece.

Yes. This is a UConn issue only. No other programs are dealing with coaching changes, disappointing bowls or players sitting out. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s called the ‘anything but UConn’ plan. It’s really mind boggling when such an obvious solution exists, but the decisions all seem to dance around it. Like it’s well known that’s the obvious choice, so we’ll do anything but that. Normally that’s a sign of money making a decision. Guessing...

No. But it was exciting thinking that a 9-3 or 10-2 UConn might get a shot at a P4 opponent. Unfortunately this is the reality of college football. 12 teams make a playoff. Everyone else plays a meaningless game like The Crown or NIT. The term is Anticlimactic.
