Packing the truck for the HQ Tailgate... going to be glad to sit down and see friends. going to be glad to see football. hope to see improvement. leave the house at 10 for final shopping, and off to get in line... ahem.... thinking just... U!

How are you all feeling about the season, are you positive about the team or negative about the upcoming season? I used to start every season with hope, thinking that we have great news coming out of camp... we have this guys doing so well, that guy in the best shape of his young career. No...

This came across my sports pages at The Athletic. About the coaching change at SMU, and Lashlee is mentioned - why UConn and now why SMU. At SMU, a meeting of the minds before meeting on the... Really liking the sports reporting there... I got some insight on Hurley there too.

Well, not often that I bring useful info so I have to maximize the opportunity. AD David Benedict was on Joe D & Gresh yesterday for a great interview. Not sure who else heard, but I really like this guy and how he's approaching football (and all athletics). A few notes: - he's looking at...

Reading about the roster changes and seeing tweets about players leaving the program for one reason or another is a reminder to me about how things change. Walk-ons, role players and starters alike have had to start making decisions about where they want to be and directions to take. I hope...

Whoda thunk they would put CONN-3 on a picture at the Texas Roadhouse?

I got to thinking as the game was wrapping up last night, that I have some optimism for our future because of 3 big plays that each only spanned a yard and were made on both sides of the ball. Play number one... the Villanova 4th and 1 in the fourth quarter. Our defense needed to make the stop...

sitting in an airport bar, heading out of CT for a few days... Time to sit and think, and looking forward to some football. In a few weeks we will see the end of spring practice. Haven't heard if any practices are open this year, so expecting to stand on a snow bank and see the guys hit the...

ESPN has a funny bit about the other applicants for the Wisconsin football head coaching job... makes me wonder what the resumes from the UConn fans would be like... Badgers' Applicants Priceless...

I know more than a few 'yarders have served in the armed forces, and I would like to thank you, especially today. There is much I enjoy today that exists because of the men and women who served this country, some of whom gave all. Thank you.

so I am attending my first UConn hockey game since I was on campus in the late 1980s. What are traditions have started that I can expect to see at the game? Besides walls on the rink, heat and all that new-fangled building technology stuff.

So, no rooting for us this weekend... What's the thing you most need to catch up on? I have a yard that has been suffering.. And a Harley that needs to run!

It's quiet around here... too quiet. I'll try a football topic to see if anyone bites.... What is the consensus on the first play from scrimmage on offense on Friday night? I think passing, short out routes.

Another good breakdown of a past game this year on the UConnBlog. http://www.theuconnblog.com/2014/9/9/6125387/tale-of-the-tape-uconn-defense-vs-stony-brook I like Andrew's work, he does put the time in!

no, not the knucklehead in the booth, hoping that DJ Hernandez is doing well in his coaching gig. just saw his two point conversion again... what a great few short years this has been... Sorry to let you down Chin!

The Big 12 commissioner slammed the NCAA, and discussed the the issue of athletes pay... And how that pay might affect other sports. I am happy to hear an official position that represents all student athletes for a change...

Was looking to see if there was any news on Jimmy Bennet.

Saw a comment on one of the coaching threads, and wanted to debate whether to hire now versus waiting to the end of the season. If a candidate was available and terms were amenable, should Mr Manuel hire now or wait? I would think that a hire now would have positive impacts on the appearance...

With the Friday night game coming up, I am looking for any ideas for the tailgate theme. I have a large crowd that we will serve, and have the normal burger and dog fare to keep the crowd going. Along with those standards, what are some ideas that I can put together for a LARGE group. I have...

From USA today, schools with Final Fours (MBB) and BCS games... While we will often get panned for making, playing and attending that Fiesta bowl, it still shows up as an achievement...

I have been wrestling with this, and want to see what y'all have to say. If lightning struck and we needed to move Foley to OL coach, could they change the blocking scheme back to the power run from the zone block? I know we have guys with power run experience in their heads. They have been...

From the UConn Blog http://www.theuconnblog.com/2013/9/2/4685602/tale-of-the-tape-uconn-offense-vs-towson looking forward to the defense analysis too.

I was just reading comments on the UConn blog and got to thinking what can save UConn and especially our football. What may help us survive all this is the NCAA money. The Pete Thamel(sp?) article that I recently read indicates a that there is a pile of NCAA appearance money that is due to BE...

The announcers keep saying that if Rutgers and Louisville both lose, their game next week is for the BCS berth. But since Syracuse beat Louisville, doesn't that mean that if we win today then UL are out of it. If UL loses and if Rutgers wins, they own it. If UL loses and Rutgers loses...

Besides lock Delone in a broom closet in the second half? Is there a snowball's chance that we get a run game going? Is our defense good enough to slow down Teddy? (I feel we can) This game is the one I feel least prepared for with game notes...

maybe he'll throw in the towel as OC... http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-uconn-football-1117-20121116,0,677151.story

In at #6, as he hurdles the Pitt defender. He's really making some highlights, nice sideline catch getting his feet down as well. Oh yeah, the Boatright alley-oop was there in the top 10 too. ;)

What's the consensus on the number of replies to a thread before it becomes personal and/or bickering about minutiae? Sometimes this place feels like the Middle East and we are bickering over a goat five generations old.;) I am getting back to the board after a few years hiatus... I've got to...

No news to everyone here... but was looking at my ESPN FFL comments for Alex Smith, 49ers QB. GAAAHHH!!! I can't get away from that damned wildcat!

It's easy to stand up when you win, because then improvement is fine tuning. It's harder to stand up when you lose, the easy joy of the win does not lift you, you have to have other reasons to get back up. This has become the turning point for the seniors on this team. These are the times...

I seem to have read stout up front. Are there any world-beaters in the backfield? What is Chandler facing?
