After last nights “Basketball Game” it got me thinking: What is the history/reason for why players foul out in Basketball? It is the only sport I can think of that forces their stars to miss the most important parts of the game (many times due to poor officiating). Imagine if Kelce was...

OC Charlton or the UCMB Director? For those not following the band fiasco: Yesterday, he had one of his band members leak on the internet that they were not going to be attending basketball and hockey games at the XL due to state spending cuts…without first consulting with AD David Benedict or anyone else...

There are only 9 programs in all of America that have wins in all of the last 5 NCAA Baseball Tournaments: Arkansas East Carolina LSU Southern MIss Stanford Texas Tech UConn North Carolina Vanderbilt ....and only one of those programs has not had the benefit of hosting an NCAA...

Anyone know if there will be a live feed of the rally at Gampel this afternoon?

Are you kidding me? CBS on Hulu just went down and isn’t working. It is the only channel not working. You have got to be kidding me right now! Anyone else having this issue, or just me?!

Let’s see who is the most optimistic and most pessimistic heading into the game. And we can see who is most accurate post game. I’ve got: Utah State 45 UConn 23 We cover, but never really that close of a game. Down 31-10 at the half.

A St Luke’s player was killed on the ice during a game earlier today at The Brunswick School in Greenwich. https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/fairfield/high-school-hockey-player-dies-from-injury-sustained-during-game-in-greenwich/ An absolute tragedy. Prayers to the victim, and their...

Here's a nearly unbelievable trivia question that shows the complete level of dysfunction of the UConn Football program that Coach Mora now faced with fixing Question : Can you name the last set of players that played their 4 years at UConn with the same Head Coach?

The one good thing that will come of this is that in three months we are going to find out once and for all what the true intentions for the Football program at UConn. If we see them hire a fast rising coach that has interest from upper level G5 schools and we pay $2MM+ for the coach and...

Let's have a fun Boneyard Bracket Challenge here. The scoring will work like this: Regional Runner Ups : 3 pts (16 picks) Regional Winners : 5 pts (16 picks) Super Regional Winners : 8 pts ( 8 picks) CWS Bracket Play Runner Ups : 10 pts (2 picks) CWS Bracket Winners : 15 pts (2 picks) CWS...

If you had to bet your life savings on which of the following UConn Sporting achievements will happen next, which would you place your money on?

Positive COVID test on the team, results in cancelation of ACC Tournament game against FSU and ends their season! 2021 ACC Tournament: Duke out of postseason bracket after a positive test for COVID-19 Hopefully not the start of a larger breakout across College Basketball. Leave it to Duke to...

I found a cool feature on UConnHuskies.com where you can select on every team that UConn has played in history and get a summary of the historic matchup between the teams. I was wasting time reminiscing about the good old days...but then stumbled upon this: University of Connecticut Athletics...

I know this would normally go in the Olympic Sport forum, but this is a huge loss for UConn sports. The Field Hockey team has been incredible and Nancy has been the best coach in the sport for a long time. She is retiring as of Sept 1--so basically in a week. The assistant coach is taking...

If articles like this continue to come out and are eventually backed up by the experts, then I can't see college football happening in 2020. What college President would want to be held responsible if one of the players from their school dies as as result of playing football games? The...

Hope it isn't true, but hearing that the Attorney General and the lawyers are investigating the possibility of suing the AAC to get out of the exit fee and waiting period entirely. Supposedly they are looking in to arguing that the AAC leadership ignored their fiduciary responsibilities in...

Front page ESPN.com article about Ollie and his lawyers threatening to sue UConn. Guess they are going the scorched-earth tactic now. Ollie demands retraction from UConn, may sue

I just read the new ESPN piece on Villanova and Jay Wright (I know, I am a glutton for punishment). But if Ollie does end up coming back next year (which is unlikely at this point), he can learn a lot from Jay Wrights experiences at Villanova and how he had to take a look at himself and his...

I have season tickets and we are going out of town next weekend--so we cannot make either of the games against Vermont -- Friday night, and Saturday afternoon. We have 2 tickets located in the first row (on the glass), on the aisle, that are right at the faceoff circle in the end that UConn...

Looks like Feole will be playing in the CCBL this year with Wareham. Here is a nice article, and audio interview as well. http://www.gatemen.org/single-post/2017/05/23/CCBL-Dreams-Coming-True-for-UConn’s-Freshman-Ace ...and looking at the Gatemen's roster, it looks like Toppa will be his...

For everyone's health and well being, I just want to remind everyone of the date tomorrow. Given the past week we have been through, I just want to put that out there so that when you look at the board tomorrow morning, you don't have a heart attack and punch a hole through your computer...

Sad to think about, but what happens first?

After watching the incredible Michigan Defense and great Penn St offense, all I can say is George DeLeone. In Pasqualonis first year, he had Don Brown as D.C. and Joe Moorhead as QB coach (demoted fro OC because of George DeLeone). If PP had just left George DeLeone in the...

I am probably just late to the party, but for the first time I think that we may actually be left out of the "power conferences" when they break apart in the next 10-20 years. I always thought that we were in a bad spot now, but would be fine in the long run (as long as we could survive until...

After this whole B12 fiasco, I started thinking about why the networks and P5 powers were so upset about the potential of the B12 expanding. Then I looked at the current contracts and timing, and it is seems that it is all set up to be a controlled implosion from within and it is all...

As the B12 is beginning to show signs of cooling on the idea of expansion (as many expected), the bigger G5 schools should make a move to force their hand. Because if conference realignment is delayed again, the gap between the P5 and G5 will grow exponentially by the time realignment opens...

I hadn't heard about this lawsuit. If they win, then every player across American could transfer and have immediate eligibility at another school. Can you imagine if this goes through? It would be a disaster for the NCAA! Is free agency coming to college basketball?

Texas governor says Big 12 expansion must include Houston Oh great, here we go.Why did the B12 make this such a public expansion process? This is going to be an absolute circus now. This is just the first of many political posturing and this will likely get very ugly. I like that UConn is...

This board will self-destruct in 3 months. Either we have been invited to the B12 and our conference realignment has been solved for at least 6 years. Or we don't get invited and the we are officially dead in the water in the G5. Either way, this board is no longer necessary in 3 months. So...

Texas AD Mike Perrin: "I think the Big Ten is well positioned on television, well-positioned on the playoffs." Perrin quickly corrected himself, saying he meant Big 12 instead of Big Ten. "Texas has not moved," he added.

Good article in The Courant this weekend about LJ. Sounds like he has taken full responsibility for his problems and is back on the fast track in the Mets system. http://www.courant.com/sports/baseball/hc-lj-mazzilli-uconn-mets-0726-20150725-story.html Hopefully LJ keeps raking...or he may...

Did you see that UNC and Wake Forest just announced an "out of conference" home and home football deal? Yes, the UNC and Wake Forest that are both in the ACC! I guess that is one way to ensure that your conference teams don't lose to a non-P5 school and hurt your conference RPI...

As much as I absolutely hate Urban Meyer and all that he stands for, do we need to be routing for an Ohio State blowout win this weekend over Wisconsin? If Ohio St leaps frog the two B12 teams because they win in their "league championship" game and pass by TCU and Baylor...would that push the...

...has anyone received the information on when and where to pick up the tickets? I received my confirmation that the tickets were ordered and was told that I should recieve the information on pick-up shortly after. I still have not received notification on when and where to pick up the...

So I just got the OK from the wife to make the solo trip to Dallas for the Final Four (leaving my wife and 2yo son at home) as long as I can keep the total travel bill below $1k. I have been to every UConn bowl game, and many NCAA/BE Tourney games, but this will be my first Final Four (always...
