    Dunn is the Coach in Waiting!?

    Kind of lost in the Courant article about Edsall giving up $150,000 to retain and promote Dunn is this: "Dunn had other job opportunities this offseason, sources said. He could have landed a Power Five job. Now, if all goes well, he could be UConn’s next coach. There’s no coach-in-waiting...

    Over the air TV reception at the Rent?

    It's almost football season so I'm looking to bulk up my tailgate. I've been looking at a smaller generator to power a TV but with cell data limits the signal would have to come from an over the air (OTA) antenna. Has anyone used OTA antenna at Rentschler and how's the service? I'm trying to...

    I'm going to the last Ringling Bros Circus at the XL Center this weekend and am wondering about the 1st row in the upper section above the "basket".

    OT: Hard Rock Hotel Coming to Hartford

    Looks like the new Downtown North area is drawing some big names. This is huge for the region, may turn Hartford into more of a destination and it doesn't hurt that Rentschler and the XL are a stones throw.
