Just read this article from last month. Great to see TJ back in the business as an assistant coach with the Ravens. NFL Draft first duty for Bay City's T.J. Weist as Baltimore Ravens assistant

Hit us pretty hard in Beacon Falls. Many downed trees and power lines. Traffic jams for hours. Saw telephone polls on fire. Cars crushed by trees. My windows on my porch got blown out and put a hole in the wall. I've been in CT a long time and never experienced anything like this. It's...

Mike Aresco talks about UCF football and #1 claim, P5-P6, 18 NFL Draft Picks, AAC basketball tourney moving from Memphis next year to Fort Worth and new Dickies Arena for three years. Said never going back to old hybrid Big East Model. Wichita was an exception but wouldn't rule out a top shelf...

Remember when Robert Griffin III said it about the Rent in 2012? "When we played at UConn my freshman year, that was the loudest place I've ever been as a football player. The stands are right next to the field, it was packed, and everyone was yelling. That was probably the coolest place for me...

Nice to see Tim being shown some interest from Green Bay. Looks like he may have been in Green Bay on Monday. Hope he had a good showing. Boyle is a guy who likely won't get drafted, so the Packers are bringing him in as a player who could be signed as an undrafted free-agent. And if the...

Very good article by Brooke Prior on state of Women's Basketball. I am so proud of what Geno, Chris and all the great legacy of coaches and players that have made Connecticut the best Women's Basketball program of all time. On the notion the Connecticut is bad for women’s basketball: “Oh...

Anyone know if there were talks with UCONN? I remember talking to their Dad during a game and he wasn't always happy with the way Bryant was handled. Miami quarterback Evan Shirreffs transferring to Charlotte

Check out all the positives from UCF's phenomenal year. "The overall lost revenue from the disrupted games cost the school about $1.5 million, but it was offset by the $3.8 million payout from the Peach Bowl success" Total new season ticket sales as of Feb. 12 stood at $1.25 million...

Just saw this in Coaches Scoop... Detroit Lions: Boston College defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni is reportedly a “target” for defensive coordinator of the Lions under Matt Patricia. Ian Rapoport tweets Pasqualoni “could take a job on the staff after the Super Bowl.” Pasqualoni has been the...

Strefon made that spectacular TD catch with ten seconds left in today's game against the Saints. Also interesting is two former AAC quarterbacks, Case Keenum ((Vikes/Houston) and Blake Bortles (Jags/UCF) won today. Stefon Diggs played for Randy Edsall at Maryland Randy on Stefon: “Stefon is...

Due to the success of UCF and USF, they could be attractive to the Big XII again. My fears were made more real by yesterday's letter sent by Florida State Rep. Bobby Oliszewski to Bob Bowlsby of the Big XII. This is nowhere near a deal but that fact that it is being discussed makes me a...

I was going to put this in the OC thread but this guy looks special and I didn't want it to get buried. Rutgers was looking at Wright as well but for some reason is no longer. He spent 4 years at FAU so has spent plenty of time in FL to land recruits there. Worth taking a closer look. His...

Pretty impressive Strategy for growth. This Conference is run by sharp professionals who know what to do and where they want to go. http://sidearm.sites.s3.amazonaws.com/theamerican.sidearmsports.com/documents/2017/5/1/AACStrategyGuide_WEB_FINAL.pdf?id=1374

Excellent recap of this year's AAC bowl line up. Great opportunity for the league to separate themselves from the G5 and prove they can compete with the P5. AAC Bowl Games Matter More This Year Than Any Other SMU - LA Tech Temple - FIU USF - Texas Tech Houston - Fresno State Navy- Virginia...

Congrats to UCF and good for the AAC. Fan participation and interest is important for future TV negotiations, etc. With Scott Frost coaching his last game, the prospects for a perfect season and beating Auburn who beat Bama make this a very exciting bowl game. Even more exciting than the...

After starting out 0-6 UMASS turned things around last year, finishing 4-8. None of their losses were blowouts. They were up on 16th ranked Mississippi State for most of the game and ended up losing 34-23. They lost to Tennessee 17-13. Beat BYU away 16-10. Beat App State 30-27 in OT. Lost to...

He's the hottest head coach in the country. UCF has made an amazing turnaround from 0-12 in 2015. It's hard to believe that we beat these guys in Orlando 40-13 that year. Last year UCF finished 6-6 and beat UCONN at the Rent 24-16. Now undefeated at 9-0 and ranked 14th UCF's impressive...

We need to tap JC market NOW. Clock running out. For me we are at an all time low! ESPN Football Recruiting - Player Rankings - ESPN

No drugs or hitting women or anything like that. Just play like a mad mean ticked of SOB and Kick some A..

Most in my circle know I'm a die hard UCONN fan. Like you I am used to the wise cracks about how bad my Huskies are from fair weather, casual fans. I actually can't blame them for feeling that way! It's getting old but I can take it because I believe the leadership is moving us in the right...

After 6 years of morbid offense we have reason to be encouraged. Thank you David Benedict for bringing hope and excitment to UCONN football. How Rhett Lashlee helped save Gus Malzahn's job at Auburn

Once again ECU ranked toughest OOC. UCONN not too shabby either. Ranking the toughest nonconference schedules in the AAC

Excellent interview. Aresco was the right choice to lead the AAC. His TV experience is invaluable. He is a passionate promoter of the P6 movement and I am confident that he will negotiate a much better TV deal In a couple years. This is a long interview. It begins at about the 28 minute...

Not surprising the Sentinel ranks UCONN #11 in the conference. With Lashlee and the stable of QB's, UCONN should fair better than predicted. With the departure of PJ Walker, Temple ranks 12th. Any predictions at this stage for us are pure speculation. Should be an interesting and exciting...

I wrote about Shai in an earlier post. He was a 4 star running back who had an ACL his freshman year at VA Tech but is looking for a new home. Apparently there are some health questions. I have attached the latest news (3 hours ago) which includes his email address and other contact info...

Obviously critical who Randy and Rhett hire for Offendive Line Coach. Good piece on 9 qualities coaches look for in an O Line Coach. 9 traits that head coaches and coordinators look for when hiring an offensive line coach - FootballScoop

JMU dominating. Six minutes into 1st quarter up 14-0. JMU averages 48 ppg.

Since Charlie Strong is bringing his guy Sterling Gilbert from TX, I would love ❤️ to see TJ offered the OC/associate head coach position on RE's staff. He also had Shaun King, QB coach on his USF staff and I would like to see him come along with TJ to develop Donovan Williams. USF won 11...

As we all sit and wait, I have been mulling over all the names and I couldn't stop thinking about TJ Weist and how he got left out last time around. Since then he has added to his resume with stops at Michigan and most recently 10-2 USF which takes on South Carolina to tomorrow in the...

Ole Miss: Sam Houston State offensive coordinator Phil Longo will join the Ole Miss staff as offensive coordinator, according to Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman. Longo has been at SHSU since 2014 and improved the scoring offense from No. 22 in his first year to two straight top-5 numbers at more than...

I have been posting about JMU's offensive coordinator Donnie Kirkpatrick. You can get to see the Duke's who just beat KC Keeler's #1 ranked Sam Houston State 65-7! If Diaco doesn't interview Mr. Kirkpatrick, I am sure someone else will and he will be gone. Keeler called JMU's offense the most...

If Navy beats Temple on Saturday in the AAC Championship game it throws a monkey wrench into the bowl selection process because the selection committee would then have to wait for the outcome of the Army-Navy game the following week. As I read the article posted below, I also reflected on the...

We need to get out of what we’ve been in the last two weeks,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters a day after Seattle struggled to generate offense against the New Orleans Saints. “This is not the way we’re going to play football and we’ll fix this. The last time the Seahawks had four consecutive...

I am not concerned about burning his Red Shirt because he won't be starting as a rookie in 2017. He has three full games plus lots of 1st team reps, etc. to prepare for 2017. BS is a serviceable good quarterback and I like having him for a backup but DW has the potential to be a real dual...

Too bad Warde didn't offer Joe Moorhead when he had the chance. On Moorhead from today's CT Post: " They've developed (Penn State's Offense) a killer instinct and Offensive Coordinator Joe Moorhead is putting teams away emphatically." "You can kind of see it in the defensive demeanor when...
