    Lost a big Husky fan

    Many, many regrets on your loss. While I very likely never had the privilege of meeting him, it's quite obvious that he has had a profound impact on your success in your life and your career. Best wishes to you and your family in this difficult time.

    observed a funny exchange with a Cuse fan on the plane

    For what other reason does the sport exist? I mean, I hate the Yankees, but if a Yankee fan said to me, "27 rings," the very last thing I would say in response is, "that's all you got?" Yeah, just 25% of the trophies ever minted. No biggie.

    Remember Norwich Free Academy RB Marcus Outlow?

    ...and I think that if Shakim had stayed healthy (and had someone else throwing to him) he would have been as good as any of those guys.

    Remember Norwich Free Academy RB Marcus Outlow?

    My point was, they were four-stars out of high school and when they showed up here, they didn't play at a four-star level. Each probably had the same thoughts that Outlow is thinking right now (it's not me, it's the system), but it's likely that they were overrated at the outset. That's OK --...

    Remember Norwich Free Academy RB Marcus Outlow?

    Sadly, you just described our QB recruiting for the last 10 years... and you're right. I mean, Shakim Phillips had solid talent and played some good games for us but got hurt all the time, and then left. That's about the ceiling for an inter-program transfer of someone who had a chance to...

    Semi- Tulsa Twitter Acct Destroys Jon Rothstein

    How does Rothstein know Dunn is Kentucky-caliber? Does he think Dunn could lose to us twice in the Final Four?

    Syracuse HC Hunting

    To be fair, some who are close to Randy say that the primary reason he wanted to leave was that he didn't get along with Jeff. Diaco, thankfully, doesn't have that problem.

    Syracuse HC Hunting

    Right. I mean, the rankings previously had FIVE two-loss teams, at 11-15, above Houston, and three three-loss teams, at 22-24, below Houston. So, if their argument is that they would have been 8-2 or 7-3 in another league and not 10-0, OK, great. They'd still be ranked right around 19, or...

    Syracuse HC Hunting

    I remember having a coach that people sometimes wanted (Randy) and a coach that no one wanted (Coach P). Given the choice, the former is not a problem...

    Syracuse HC Hunting

    Diaco's not afraid to look around (he interviewed with Temple, BC and Cal in the year before we hired him), but I think he has to feel like he's in a comfortable spot right now. The kids he has here (and coming in), the culture he's created, the success he's achieved in his second year -- there...

    UConn +12 at Temple.

    Yeah, I don't bet, but I can't do this.

    Syracuse HC Hunting

    I'll have one of what you're having (and I think you left out a guy named Ollie in your list). Personally, I think he's best suited by (1) pumping up the quality of this program as high as possible, (2) helping to get us into a new league, and (3) waiting for Brian Kelly to retire or get fired...

    Syracuse HC Hunting

    They've had a better football program than us in precisely two (2012, 2013) of the last 15 years. In those two years, the worst in our modern era, our head coach was... wait for it... wait for it... the best coach in the history of their program. Oh, and 4>1. Also, their mascot is a stuffed...

    Holy cow, those people are abject idiots. Six minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

    Ollie interviewed on ESPNU podcast

    That's what makes Miller so valuable to this team -- when we've got a good, solid passer in the high post, historically, we absolutely destroy that zone.

    The View From Section 241 -- Houston

    Great writeup, but I think you chose the wrong word here - they played like they knew they would win the game. The energy and effort and enthusiasm makes it difficult, if not impossible, to remember that this team was led by Paul Pasqualoni just 26 months ago. Annapolis or NYC would be...

    UConn-Hartford

    I think UConn may have been asked to build the campus into the Adriaen's Landing site by the State.

    Student ticket giveaway

    Ask them why the hoops schedule includes Tulane, Tulsa and UCF, but no longer includes Syracuse, Pitt, Notre Dame or Louisville. Actually, don't bother. It's been so long, they might not remember when Syracuse or Pitt were any good, and Notre Dame's last Final Four appearance was 40 years ago...

    UConn-Hartford

    They're also planning on holding lectures in area facilities that aren't used in daylight hours, such as the new theater on Front Street, too.

    UConn-Hartford

    They're building into/behind the old Hartford Times façade (which is almost as big as the building itself). You can see the Hartford Times façade in that picture posted above, to the bottom left. That Hartford Times building is really, really neat. Four different U.S. Presidents have spoken...

    UConn-Hartford

    It's a great concept and will look really sharp, but property values are so low in Hartford (compared to the cost of construction) that UConn would have been better served by buying a vacant office building (or two) and refitting that, than building a new campus in place. My guess is that...

    Dhameer Bradley Gets Release, Leaving Program (Dez)

    Dhameer's going to be OK. I'm on campus and I'm pretty sure I just saw him zipping along, on a two-footed Segway type of thing, smiling and relaxed. Like a regular college kid, but with cool UConn garb on. Best wishes to him.

    XL Center Makeover Comes With Hefty Price Tag

    Love the idea... but $250 million would barely get you to Manchester via light rail. It's expensive. http://www.publicpurpose.com/ut-lrt00capcost.htm

    XL Center Makeover Comes With Hefty Price Tag

    Actually, the steepness of the XL Center's seats is one of the things I like most about it. I think it creates a better view and puts you closer to the action. In the post-Americans with Disabilities Act era, no new arena will be as steep. I like the way the arena is laid out, though, and I...

    UConn Athletics Drive to 5K

    Stupid question: they're counting new donors, right? If that's the case, shouldn't most of the people on this board already be listed as donors (at least because of football)?

    Wow. We still have a chance

    Amazing stat: UCF has allowed 271 points in 6 games (45 per game)... ...which means that we actually underperformed against that God-awful team (won 40-13).

    I really hate the scoreboard in the XL Center

    The grease smell is way, way, way worse than the scoreboard -- and the scoreboard is pretty bad.

    Louisville in Crisis

    Nick, just curious, to which part of J187Money's post did you object? That Rutgers is getting curbstomped? That none of the money is going into your pocket? That he believes we'd compete in the Big Ten because we compete in everything? Or that we envy Rutgers's position and certainly not...
