people get disgusted at the wrong things

I've seen more news about FAU this offseason than any other non-P5 team. Before this year, I didn't know the difference between FIU and FAU. And for those that think it is "disgusting", I'd welcome you to retrace your reactions: Randy Edsall pulls commit's UConn football scholarship 2 weeks...

Have you tried Airbnb for your extra room? You may find that you can get 1.5 - 2x more vs. a monthly rent. Could be a stronger supplement.

didn't see this one coming. I beg your pardon.

In the RE example, you are confusing "context" with "excuse". I think your point might be "well, it depends, who did they win against or lose to?" And I get that. Of course there is context in every situation, but you are leaning on it to make an excuse. I respect your passion, but you...

oh, Jesus Yes, take out all of the losses that for some reason don't count. But then let's take out the FCS wins. But then should we count the FCS losses as double? And then let's divide the ranked team losses by 1.5x, because he was in trailers! and then let's multiply the ranked team...

LOL he actually received his BCS #2 ranking in an October

That's not the question that was asked and I answered, but if you are suggesting what JL did at USF is not on par with what RE did at UConn, you are delusional.

it wasn't any of those reasons. The championships, albeit in a watered down league, backing into the BCS game, all fine (as an aside I traveled to the a few games that year including UM, East Hartford and Fiesta -- from the west coast -- the coaching was not good). The graduation rates were...

I can't apologize for the terrible decisions made after he left. That is why the program collapsed, not because of the absence of Randy Edsall. I think RE is a very good defensive coach, and would make a good DC. I think he is exceptional at evaluating and developing talent. I put Randy...

Jim Leavitt, South Florida.

flipping FCS recruits! Exciting!

no, I was calling for his firing. I might have been first.

are these top class college coaches? I may be missing your point. Norries Wilson, out of coaching? Matt Cerosimo, head coach at Conard HS? Scott Lakotos from Monmouth? This is the Randy Edsall coaching tree. Moorhead has been successful, likewise Orlando of late. But to call Edsall great...

yes, because that's what sought-after coaches do. Stay on the sidelines to collect a buyout. Yes.

this is just simply not correct. When was UConn playing, and beating, Miami, Virginia Tech, BC, FSU? When? I remember there was a game a piece against Miami and VT before they bolted in 2003. Go back and look at the W-L record - when RE was below .500, wins came against the likes of Murray...

one cannot, because it doesn't exist. My personal favorite is when Don Brown left as DC of Maryland after RE was hired to become, wait for it, the DC at Connecticut, RE -- publicly, no less -- blamed it on Don Brown teenage daughter becoming pregnant.

no, because some fans get their panties moistened over the prospect of recycling a below average coach, whose current best option is the title of "director of football research-special projects" whatever &*k that means (I think it means a quid pro quo from UConn's Bob Quinn, but I digress)

this is why UConn will never be a serious program

ah, ok. I guess we are ignoring his Maryland record. Got it.

Oh Jesus, stop the self loathing in that case. Ws against Army, Lehigh, Western Michigan (before they were good), Kent State, Akron, Buffalo. Sweet Jesus just stop - this was the 1-AA transition year!

Fact check

that'd be awesome. I can see the replay of the '08 safety vs. the Vikings replaying before every game.

"my lack of football knowledge" I agree Edsall is the best coach UConn has had in the FBS era. For context, the other two are Paul Pasquiloni and Bob Diaco. ...and that is pathetic

9-4 if you include the bowl game. I was there too. Go back and look at that season. "The least you will accept is the best you will get"

...and Edsall won't give it to you. He is a retread. No one wants to admit it - he is a .500 coach at best. Flat.

I just threw up in my mouth. If Edsall returns, they will lose the fan base.

Big 12 data: Expansion vital to boost CFP hopes

Understanding that I could have written a more thoughtful article, I thought I'd post this as we wait for the Big 12 to make their move in the next couple of months... I agree with the Pac-12 speculation, but I don't think it trickles down as far as K-State. Texas, Oklahoma, OK State and...

He is a journalist, not on the UConn PR payroll. Don't let MSNBC and Fox News delude you.
