    The rich get richer

    We spend a lot of time on this board discussing the fact that the CFB playoffs always include the same teams and why it is so difficult for anyone else to compete with them. Top prospects being concentrated if fewer programs is probably a big reason. As of Thursday Alabama had commitments...

    UCONN Magazine

    I know this may be rehashing a bunch of things but it still made me a little sad. I got the Fall UConn Magazine yesterday and right inside the cover is a 2 page spread showing Jonathan in front of MSG. What makes me sad is the caption which listed as 'rivalries' that would be 'renewed'...

    Nightmare scenario

    Just turned on the Presidents Cup and lo and behold I see where Diaco's pants wardrobe went after he left UConn.

    OT-Hartford area restaurants

    During our summer trip to CT next month Mrs. Greene and I will be hosting a 70th birthday party for one of her best friends from high school. There will be about 15 of us so a private room would be best. We would also like a place where the guests can order rather than have a fixed menu...

    Ode to December 26th

    Twas the day after Christmas and down in St. Pete The Huskies were hoping poor Marshall to beat The defense can smother and stifle the Herd The offense a "question" and that's a kind word So lets hope Diaco and the rest of the staff Can create a game plan that won't make us laugh For here...

    BC

    I really have nothing to say. Just wanted to see how many views the magic letters would get.

    How is it possible?

    I have not read it but, why would our board have a 90 post thread dealing with the scheduling of two teams we don't play? Simple, it has something to do with BC. Some people can't seem to get over their BC fixation.

    Why?

    Don't know how many of you get the business school magazine but mine came today. On the cover was a really nice picture of the keynote speaker at a UConn entrepreneurship conference for women. She is an alumna of BC! I am not one of those who automatically hate everything that comes out of...

    Beating up SC in the cold

    Those of you who came to B'ham to watch UConn dominate SC may remember how cold it felt. Well, when Vandy and Houston kickoff tomorrow it is expected to be around 34 with a 10-15 mph "breeze". That is a good 10 degrees colder than our game.

    Christmas Verse

    T'was the week before Christmas and up north in Storrs, New head coach Diaco said bolt all the doors. Our class of recruits has now dwindled to ten, The next big commitment will happen, but when? Without any staff and with holidays near, Not anytime soon is the answer, I fear. But fret not, he...

    Cost of coaching move?

    Getting rid of PP and GDL was necessary and in the long run will be less costly to the program than keeping them any longer. Never the less I am curious if anyone has an insight into how our coaches contracts are structured? I have been told by a friend in a legal practice that has a strong...

    Just to add to the CR pot

    Birmingham has 4 or 5 law firms with substantial sports law practices and Saturday I met a new partner in one of them at dinner. Neither his firm nor he have any direct connection with the B1G or UMD. The firm has done some work with the SEC. Here are comments he made. UMD has gotten a lot...

    Seasonal Verse

    Last night after a couple of drinks I penned a short verse to summarize the UConn situation: T'was the week before Christmas, and up North in Storrs the UConn commanders were asleep at their oars. Sweet Suzie was nestled all snug in her bed contending that research would cure all our dread...

    Question for recruiting mavens

    I was in CT visiting with family the last two weeks in June. In talking with a cousin who is also a UConn grad, he expressed concern over our instate recruiting by the current staff versus BC. He said that our friends at Chestnut Hill had gotten no CT recruits for 3 years but that this year...

    Vampire thread

    After being away a little over a week I come back to the Boneyard and what do I see heading the Conference Realigment board but the ACC thread. Two questions: 1. Only a wooden stake can kill a vampire, does anyone know what will kill a zombie thread? 2. At what point does a thread become it's...

    Guidance requested

    I stoped by for my periodic update on UConn news and am faced with a marathon thread titled ACC. Before I get started can someone tell me if it is worth reading?

    Schedule Question

    It probably has something to do with who played late or early the previous day, but can someone explain why a prime time matchup like UConn/SU was on at mid day. Hopefully it was not a screw up by the BE brain trust.

    Tell me I have nothing to fear

    I don't come here every day so I may miss a lot but today I noticed a couple of threads about Louisville and their furure. If I remember correctly there was some talk about the BB onlies walking if either UL or UConn left the BE. Does anyone know if this is still the case? If so and UL gets...
