    Anyone going to Fresno?

    I'll be there! Got a couple other Huskies coming as well.

    Independent Scheduling

    I'm thrilled! This schedule shows UConn is still serious about FBS football and that was a massive question with the Big East move. If we can conduct FB independence more like BYU than New Mexico St then the Big East move is a win-win-win in my book.

    All right , I’m in.

    All you need to know... Wagner (+21) Bet the house!!!

    Wagner prediction......

    Spread via the ESPN app: Wagner @ UConn (-17.5) If history tells us anything bet the farm on the Seahawks +17.5... but the dogs will squeak it out 24-14.

    As Wagner Approaches

    Probably the most impressive piece of coaching incompetence this century.

    As Wagner Approaches

    We haven't beat an FCS team by more than a TD since 2011. Can we at least please do that??

    Fox Sports: UConn football heads toward independence.

    They're playing each other 4 times in 2 years since they can't fill out an Indy schedule. Basically like a basketball H/H, a few weeks apart.

    Fox Sports: UConn football heads toward independence.

    Liberty and New Mexico St. play twice this year. Why? Indy>MAC/CUSA/SunBelt ...but it is going to get dicey pulling 8 games in essentially 13 months. Hope we don't have to pull a crazy stunt like Liberty/NMS did.

    Why a New President is Important to Football Success

    Methinks academic admissions is not the primary issue. If the new president is half as athletics-focused as Susan we'll be lucky. 2019 Recruiting Rankings: 86. Tulane 98. Harvard 106. Rice 117. Yale 130. UConn 2019 Football Team Rankings

    What's the Ceiling for 2019?

    I know Edsall won't talk mid-season but any chance Crocker gets the boot for 2019? Let us not forget... our experienced/senior-laden defense was BAD last year, only outdone by this season's dumpster fire.

    Does Randy get another year?

    Question UCF football

    I believe an AAC team can (technically) have a shot at the playoff but the stars need to align and it is certainly a 2-3 year process including all of the following: -NY6 win over P5 team in prior year -1 or fewer losses in prior year -2+ P5 top 15 wins in current season -2/3 wins over ranked...

    Vote: Which recent season has been the toughest?

    As bad as it's been since 2011, I've been thinking: 2015 Defense + 2017 Offense = 8-9 win AAC team. I really hope this defense can be serviceable in 2019 whether it is with Crocker or a new DC. I refuse to believe no matter how undermanned/young our D is that they would still be giving up...

    Vote: Which recent season has been the toughest?

    The offense was completely unbearable at times under Diaco but 2018 has made me realize that maybe the sub-par defense/putrid offense combo was better than the opposite we are experiencing this year.

    I still believe Edsall is the wrong coach for UConn

    ...still salty about this loss.

    UMass Football Marketing Plan, UConn Game Attendance, Etc

    Would love to see a good showing at the Rent for the UMass game. Gonna be a tough ticket to get though when we start off 7-0, beating 3 ranked teams! :D

    Russia World Cup Boycott

    Glad to see the US leading the way in the boycott efforts!

    UConn Was Still Relevant Then

    I think the worst is over now but what I would give to see the Rent electric again like it was vs Michigan...

    The good old days really were just that

    NCAA College Football Attendance (All Divisions)

    If you told me back in 2007 that one day UConn would draw fewer fans than the Montana Grizzlies I would have laughed in your face. What a difference a decade makes. :(

    Will UConn Win More Than 3 in 2018??

    We have played to the level of our week 1 opponent 5 straight seasons. Here's hoping we can continue the trend this year!

    “Defending National Champs” UCF Opening Game of 2018 at The Rent

    I know UCF had a good season but we'll see how they hold up in front of 19K rabid UConn fans!! Seriously though, maybe the trend of playing to the level of our opponent in week 1 will continue in 2018 and actually build some momentum this time.

    Ollie 7-3

    Honest question: Is it fair to call out the heart of the players this season? The ceiling HAS to be higher than this!!! I understand that we essentially returned 2 rotation players from a bad team last year. But watching the games this season it looks like a poor man's 2009-10 UConn team...

    UCF, Group of Five and the CFP (SI article)

    I'm glad the CFP is "Progressive" but 8 teams is the magic number. It sucks we have to wait another decade for it. All P5 champs, highest ranked G5 champ and 2 at-large. Football is the only sport where you can win your conference and not have a chance at the national championship. 8. UCF @...

    Semi OT - UConn V BC at Fenway Student Tickets

    Just called the UConn ticket office and they said you DO NOT need a UConn ID to use these tickets. ...Good to know if you're not planning on spending $200 a seat ;)

    UConn +37 @ UCF

    Kinda like that time he torched Holy Cross??
  27. Afroabe224

    Raise your hand if, before the season, you were offered 3-4 after 7 games.

    In July I thought 15-0 After Holy Cross: 1-11 So I'll take 3-4. Much more encouraged by the PROGRESS more than anything else. If that continues, I'll be happy regardless of record and I'll look forward to a 15-0 season in 2018.

    If we went undefeated, would the fans come back?

    "Fans" claim the football is garbage (or D2??) but this is a good football conference. The AAC literally brings a top-25 team to the Rent every season. It's on the fair weather folk waiting for Michigan to walk through those doors again... If you love UConn and love football, you're probably...

    If we went undefeated, would the fans come back?

    I think the brand power of the opponent has a lot to do with it. Look at the 30k+ games during the Diaco era, no matter how good (or unwatchable) UConn was, people would show up for brand name programs and USF who is probably the strongest 'rival' we've had in the past decade. If we played...

    #TBT 2007

    Remember that time UConn football was ranked ahead of Bama, Clemson, Penn St, USC, Auburn & Florida?? It has been a long half-dozen years but just past the halfway point in 2017 I feel like HCRE has finally put 'rock bottom' behind us in Storrs and it feels great. I'm not sure they can say the...

    RG3 at the rent in 08

    What a great game. I really miss seeing the Rent like that all the time, it's sad to me that students over the past 6 years haven't been able to experience that kind of football (with the lone exception of Michigan in 2013).

    USA Today Predicts All 130 FBS Teams' Records For 2017 Season

    Just sayin... UConn OVER 3.5 wins pays out at +135 on Bovada... Also a $10 bet wins you $1,000 when we win the AAC
