Playoff has to be conference champions at minimum, of which currently there are 10, with a group of "independants". Do the math and figure it out Capt. Kangaroo. What will it take?

Tight time schedule. If you don't want the tourist experience of that adventure back in history, and going to fly from Germany or Austria - I suggest to fly to Warsaw and go to Treblinka instead of Krakow. Treblinka is an experience unlike the others, about an hour drive north of Warsaw...

The floor is the ceiling depending on your point of view.

Thanks - didn't read this article til now. I still find it less than comforting, that there is absolutely nothing to go on regarding video to believe Edsall's assessments, and as I noted elsewhere already - the UConn 2018-2019 schedule is a division 1-A schedule, not a 1-AA schedule of...

Time to warm up the ritual dances and ceremonial sacrifices and such to conjure up snow and ice from the weather gods for Saturday.

Agreed. But he still doesn't seem to acknowledge that he put all these players in the position they're in. Coach Batman did actually manage to land a few players on the roster. But to look at what Randy Edsall has done in two years through a paper towel cardboard tube, you'd think that...

So could we.

I disagree with this. The defense has played well early in games as of late. There is some improvement as the season has gone on, but they are simply physically overmatched both in size and strength (understandable given they are babies fresh out of high school and playing a full 12 game...

What I've seen in the past 2 weeks, is different. I have no idea what Edsall was thinking in putting the roster together that he did, especially on D for this year. I don't know what led to the decision making and roster make-up to play so many true freshman. But it's taking a toll...

More important question, is how Edsall plans to build a program out of freshmen who's bodies are getting beaten to a pulp, with still 3 games to go. Better hope everybody is physically ready to go by March and the trainers and doctors do a good job.

Exactly.

So? My statement was accuratre. Upgrade was not anywhere near certain. Are you going to make excuses for what he's done again? I'm sick of this DI. I've been watching. Hahn is a decent player. No mistake he is wearing #6. But he's not anywhere near physically to be playing the LB...

Nope. He started out in 1-AA at UConn. Upgrade was not anywhere near certain. Better hope he hasnt missed on his evaluations of all these rookies to be 1-A players

No - the conclusion is that Randy built himself a 5 year cushion to build $1million a year salary into a retirement at age 65.

I was actually seriously wondering, to the point I started googling, as to how bad this team is this year that Edsall's "program" has assembled in year 2. There are still a couple games left, but as of now - through 9 games, I'm confident in saying it's not just the worst team in division...

Randy berating high school kids he dropped into a meat grinder to ensure himself a retirement gig, about stuff that happened at UConn when they were in 3rd and 4th grade. Nauseating.

Abomination. I want answers from the school administration and state government.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! No.

Sure, it's not about making the most money in payouts, but it is about having complete control of your own money rather than a revenue sharing arrangement with peer institutions, and maintaining an image and mythology of superiority.

I tend to make people confused. But you'll figure it out. Bottom line is that 1A college football postseason and national championship system right now - the abomination it is - has no incentive to change because it's functioning exactly as it's designed and intended to do, to benefit...

Pipe dreams. Only way to squeeze Notre Dame, (other than the progression to a true national championship playoff of conference champions rather than this current abomination format for a national title - is to keep their non-football sports out of a conference. ACC already bent over and...

Btw: Regarding pompous blowhardiness, as noted in another thread - the University of Connecticut leadership, the State of Connecticut leadership, and most especially the Connecticut sports media - demonstrated their complete lack of understanding of anything in major intercollegiate athletics...

Swarbick is full of you know what, and so are you. The reason Notre Dame can maintain independant status is because they hit the jackpot 30 years ago with their exclusive NBC television and media contract. It's entirely about exclusive control of enough benjamins to schedule who they...

Deon Anderson was also insane. But you need a couple crazy people on a football team if you're going to be successful.

Accurate.

Cool, so - are there any players that will be 4th and 5th years next year still connected to Randy going to be looking for a place to play? Enquiring minds want to know.

There is no athletic program (IMNSHO) professional, amateur, collegiate, youth, national, olympic whatever - where the adage that 'Winning fixes everything' applies like the University of Connecticut athletic department. Everything that is a problem now - has been a problem for near 4 decades...

I ventured around to a different board recently and saw stuff about the hockey program arena investments and facepalmed visciously. Repetition of mistakes. Same thing they did with the football venue, happening with hockey program management.

Keep telling yourself that. maybe someday it will be true.

The media complacency and culpability in perpetuating the hubris, ignorance and ineptitude of both state government and university leadership (as well as the coaches of the money making sports) over 35 years cannot be understated.

Uconn ststus as a red headed stepchild misfit outsider in intercollegiate athletics, perpetually perched on the edge of downfall, began in earnest 35 years ago. The schools basketball programs managed to be included in Gavitt's vision of an urban private school basketball league. Then in...

The longer this thread goes, the more obvious it will become that UConn is what it is in 2018 because of essentially 35 years of arrogant, ignorant, inept culture of political leadership at both the university and state level.

Also, since I can't post this where it belongs. Honoring Connecticut's recent MoH recipient John Chapman

As all hallows eve comes to a close, and another witching hour begins. To all my fellow amphibians - enjoy the dark swim in the fuil moonlight.

So, any players left with eligibilty recruited by edsall? Would be 4th or 5th year players next year if my math is right.
