My wife and I renewed our 2 ST's. We tailgate with 5 couples from her office at UConn and albeit a very small sample size, there is a ton of excitement and anticipation for this season from our group. I honestly believe UConn turns a corner this year and gets back on the right track. I can't...

24-6 UConn wins...Nova is a good FCS team, no doubt about it. But UConn has far too much talent and I think the defense comes up BIG!

I got into a pool at Elmcrest CC. It's set up where you pick one player from each of four groups. Everyone and their brother was picking Spieth, Rory, and Phil. I went a little outside the box with Justin Rose, Jason Day, G-Mac, and Kevin Na. Day and G-Mac have not been playing their best golf...

I don't post on this board to stir up trouble and I think my posting history backs that up, but that sounds a lot like BC's attitude toward UConn.

Ouch...some of the comments are pretty harsh regarding my old alma mater. But it's your board so I will grin and bear it!! At least Whipple didn't call the game with Miss. St. a rivalry !:)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the breakdown between Whipple and UConn what he could pay his assistants? I thought I read that he was fine with his salary but he wanted a different pay structure for his assistants and UConn said no.

Steve...Welcome...nice to have another UMass guy on here. I was starting to feel like Marilyn from the Munsters (just kidding:)) You'll like this board if your intention is to talk college sports. Some very nice and knowledgeable guys on here. Sometimes you'll need some thick skin, but it's all...

As much as it pains me to say it, UMass has not yet earned admission to the AAC. The AAC is desperately trying for recognition as a good conference and attempting to separate themselves from the other non P5 conferences. UMass will not help them in that regard. I honestly things will change for...

I agree that 100 members will not make the club a lot of money, but the owners are not your average guys. Jerry just turned down a 2 billion dollar offer from Waste Management to purchase USA Hauling. This is looking more like a hobby for him and his son. Heard last night that the Dot Com tour...

Hampden CC is going to be extremely high end. The projected opening is Memorial Day weekend. Jerry Antonacci is the owner and his son Guy is Director of golf operations. Billy Downes is still there as the pro and he is a great guy as well as superb golfer. It's owned by the same family that owns...

Great post! I realize a lot of things go into a kid's decision..i.e.proximity to home, playing time...etc, but there is no way that UConn should not be in the top-5 for most 4 and 5 star kid out there. There are just a handful of blue blood programs and UConn has firmly entrenched themselves on...

Prayers are with you and your family. Get well soon!

I believe UMass provides their athletes a "world class experience" The article did not say "national championship experience". UMass has a FBS football program. Some of these kids have played at Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn State, and Notre Dame this year. What percentage of college kids have those...

To the UConn guys, sorry for the post above. This is not the forum for a fight between a UMass guy and a BC guy, but that smug comment just pi**ed me off.

I'm not laughing. If you need to put down UMass to justify BC's relevance, then I guess the OP nailed it!

Yeah, but it's a earth-shattering, mind-blowing, life altering minute!!:eek: See how I went from self deprecating to having an over inflated sense of self worth in a drop of a hat?

Thanks...UMass grad and worked at UMass from graduation until very recently( thank you Gov. Patrick for the golden handshake!!). I have no delusions about my school. I've said on this board before, I think UConn made solid decisions over the past couple of decades while UMass balked...

No following? C'mon, we got the Athol and Belchertown markets locked!!

That WEEI person needs to get back on his meds! I am pretty happy with the hire and the guy seems to be a good fit, but let's get serious. I'm still hoping to take your place in the AAC.

Oh God, please no!!! Have they called Hathaway? Have they called Julie Hermann?

My wife and I renewed both UMass and UConn season tickets. Needless to say...she gets the hat!:)

For the entire ride into work this morning, I listened to Greenberg from Mike and Mike go on a tirade about how unfair this was to the kids presently on the team. I really didn't listen to Mike and Mike back then, but was he as vocal in his support of the innocent UConn kids when they went...

I voted without realizing that LaFleur was off the board. Would now vote for Quinn.

Unlike the Courant and Jacobs, the Globe offers nothing positive and is a BC sycophant rag being fed erroneous info from within UMass. I'm not going to attempt to hijack this thread, but think about this. For a picture, the Globe used one taken of the visitor's side (Indiana) in our second ever...

Yeah, so what's your point?;)

lol.....this was going to be the premise of my next post but you phrased it much better that I was going to...

If you won't watch a movie with Anne Hathaway in it just because of her last name......

lol.....the cheerleaders sucked the concessions sucked Priceless

Finally, the road to New England basketball supremacy goes through Amherst, Ma.:D C'mon guys, just trying to lighten the mood a little. You are UConn. That should be enough said. You are UConn. Don't let the disappointment of football cloud your enthusiasm for the hoops team. Remember, Ollie...

My wife is trying to bail on me and she is the UConn one between the two of us! The 10-12 friends from her office that we tailgate with are down to 4 and I guess 2 of them are questionable. I'm pretty sure I've got her talked into going but it's going to cost me a fortune tonight in cold...

UConn...68 Yale.......51

Another thing I watched was Facey's technique of blocking out. It is textbook perfect. The kid really works for his position. Now, is he big enough and strong enough to exert his will consistently? Who knows. But if he doesn't, it won't be for lack of will or lack of trying.

My wife and I will renew, no doubt about it. I'm sticking with the UMass season tickets as well. Both teams are projects under their new coaching staffs and I wouldn't miss the transformation that is coming for anything.

Will you be making that pic your new avatar?:)
