After the first press conference with Diaco, I called my brother and said he's a "smoke thrower." Sadly the first correct call I had in college football in a long time. I recently joked to my brother that Randy Edsall was the only one that could fix this dumpster fire. Hopefully I'll be 2 for 2.

We used to be knocking on the door of national relevance. I think most think of UConn football the way they think of Southern Miss, LA Tech, Wyoming, Akron, and other also ran 1-As. Not even considered w the Indiana, Iowa St, Duke, Wake crowd anymore.

I find this thread therapeutic.

Diaco's offense is GDL 2.0. Plain and simple.

There was something in BizLaws pre-season post from Section 241 that made me realize he wasn't a believer in Diaco and it took some air out of my excitement for the season. Now we know why. He really does know what he's talking about.

To me the uniforms from last year are great except for the pattern on the shoulders. It stuck out as odd when they first came out. Still makes me scratch my head. Outside of that I like them.

I'm a post Millennial. Not adept with the Iphone.

You think SEC or BIG 12 for that matter make tgat mistake? Attention to detail. Trying to be power conference. Act like one.

By no means an expert here. 90% of what I see I really like. Maybe a football expert can explain, but is it me or does he short arm the ball? Again, I have no clue when it comes to QB mechanics but just something that kept coming to mind as I watched. Also, I understand these are standard...

After I read it for a fifth time I got it. Notre Dame one of 6 from HE making NCAA tourney this year. Penn State arguably just as good as ND but the B1G with an awful Wisconsin and Ohio St crushed the B1G pairwise which is all that matters for selection to tourney. Does ND make it playing a...

My father took us from Memorial to the Rent. Mocked my brother and I's choice of tailgate beer as "Panther Piss." Passed away unexpectedly in 2011 after watching the two of us play hockey for the final time ironically at the Rent when they had the rink down. I have a 6 pack of "Panther Piss"...

I follow him. He's acknowledged at bottom of article as contributing. Read the comments at the bottom of the Minn Star Tribune article on this and one can see the unintended consequences all this realignment has had on Minnesota's precious "U" hockey team...

Key here is college hockey doesn't need them and maybe rest would band together and take their product elsewhere.

Yes. They had us in 90-110 range for most of the season.

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2015/11/24_big_ten_legislation_raises.php Big 10 uses its new authority as Power 5 with NCAA to go around rest of college hockey to implement rule favorable to them. 2 thoughts 1. Ive always thought 21 year old freshmen (while making a better product...

Who's Hot? Connecticut Bob Diaco has the biggest win of his brief career in Storrs, handing No. 19 Houston its first loss of the season. And you could kind of see this upset coming, because the Huskies have been playing better in the second half, shutting down East Carolina and Tulane in the...

Army (West Point) is about one thing (creating Platoon Leaders) and everything else is second. That alone is different from the other two academies. Navy and Air Force grads have many different options that do not include leading platoons (some do - ie Naval Grads that join the USMC etc. )...

While on topic Non-conference wins over Power 5 conference teams by each of these conferences. Big Ten: 9 American Athletic Conference: 8 SEC: 5 Big 12: 4 Pac-12: 4 ACC: 3.5 (Since Notre Dame is sort of an ACC team, count it as a half for Clemson.)...

I find myself watching every American Football game on TV I can find. I was very anti the conference two years ago and never watched a game outside UConn, but now find myself pulling for the American teams same way I used to pull for the Big East teams. The contrasting styles from Navy to us...

Let me start with I have never played the game but have played hockey all my life. I have always wondered this. I agree with you on your point the game plan worked in that they did not press. But how come in football they don't mix up the coverage a bit. Purely an informational question. In...

All those Bama fans rooting for or against Mizzou? Different division but loss would hurt the SEC image?

Lutrus 2.0. Agree with the above guys that made the reference. Was first thought I had after second highlight.

Took wife and daughter to Vanderbilt. We had a great time. If it wasn't for witnessing the beginning of the end, it would be a much more positive memory. To this day I can't get Pasqualoni's look of confusion at the end of that game out of my head. We stayed at that Marriot overlooking the...

The shoulder just makes no sense. Borderline disturbing for some reason. They should have kept old unis and just changed the helmet. Just can't seem to get anything right at moment. Almost like UCONN has just accepted fact they've been banished to the AAC.

Nike had Army unveiling on Monday and Browns yesterday. So maybe it is on their schedule as well. But I wonder how much Nike will be involved when bringing out new unis less than 2 years after they helped us re-brand. Rather successful re-brand outside the helmets (some obviously disagree).

The logo is pulled from the USMA Coat of Arms (below - circa 1898 vs Spartans 1950s). Nike and the Administration oddly failed to mention that. As a grad I really like the new font and other changes, but everyone I have spoken to can't understand the "Army West Point" branding. Is it now the...

Fairfield County and UConn athletics on the radio are like oil and vinegar. I know this subject has been covered ad nauseam on this board, but would be nice to see a survey asking about coverage in your part of state. On a separate note I went to two different bars Friday night to grab a...

The lifespan of a D1 college hockey coach (winning or losing coach) is far greater than D1 BB and FB. This may change in the new era of college sports, but I think in general college hockey coaches can speak their mind and worry less about how it will be analyzed than BB and FB coaches.

Disagree. Cochran won with this "garbage." 1 TD 11 INTs. What else do you need to see? Another thing, for BD not to let him throw the ball when this is a throw away season at this point, says a ton about BD's faith in him.

Strikes me that Temple is considered a name that we could get excited ending the season with. To think they were kicked out of old BE and now we're trying to get ourselves excited for them. They're all the same, we have nothing in common with these schools. It's like trying to get excited for...

We did sit through countless years of Whaler ineptitude but you could be right.

I'll preface this with I know nothing about football. I love watching the game but I will not pretend to really know the ins and outs of the game of football. I will say this though, watching any sport there is nothing like seeing someone take it to the next level (even in youth sports) where...

Our group of 9 (used to be 13 from Day one at Rent) is not renewing. 7 of the 9 have bought Hockey season tickets.
