So I decided a few weeks ago to leave Twitter / “X” and I’ve been checking out other platforms. BlueSky seems to be the closest thing to what Twitter used to be but it doesn’t have much, if any, sports content. Uconn has an official account but hasn’t posted anything and there is very little...

Question for other internationally based UConn fans. I’m living internationally again (Australia) and in the past, I used a friends’ Slingbox to watch games (both football and basketball) via his cable. Unfortunately Slingbox just shut down their servers for good last week so I’m looking for...

I haven't seen a single thing mentioned in the media or during the broadcast about McFadden being hurt but folks in the chat who were watching swore that Joe was holding his left hamstring after the missed short FG. In the Courant article, Spanos was quoted as saying that the reason he went for...

While it's tough to pinpoint one specific play or error that loses a game, it's hard not to look at the very beginning of the 2nd quarter from today's game. Jack Zergiotis had thrown a nice 50 yard TD pass a bit prior and our defense was starting to get aggressive, caused a TO and we score again to take a...

With the comments from HCRE yesterday regarding not caring whether we win or lose games right now, it's about developing leadership, etc. it made me think about the way in which he managed that UMass game, specifically our offense. It's pretty obvious that he desperately wanted to "not lose"...

I think the vast majority on the BY took away some positive signs from the loss to Syracuse, particularly on the defensive side. This line also gave me some additional hope: Jim Fuller @NHRJimFuller By my (very unofficial) count, #UConn missed 7 tackles in 1st quarter but 4 the rest of the...

Junior Joseph gets an Honorable Mention. Sad.

I know - it's a dumpster fire of a conference, everyone has one foot out the door, it sucks playing directional schools when we should be with other land grant universities, etc. All that being said, you would need some serious blinders on not to see that this conference actually doesn't suck...

Just checked out the Participation report and from what I can see, only two true frosh played: - Nick Zecchino - Long Snapper (expected) - Teddy Allmendinger - Fullback (probably somewhere on specials) Trying to see the bright side here...

I haven't seen a thread on this yet so thought I would post something. I'm fairly impressed that with the exception of Memphis / Fuentes, that AAC teams are managing to keep their coaches from being poached by other programs (mostly P5). - It was on Twitter today that Ken Niumatalolo is...

Can't link to it but the TB to GA to NT double pass made the top plays montage on ESPN.com and they also showed the celebration on the field with the players. Very nice to see.

Just some quick thoughts on the game: 1) If you told me before the season that we would lose 9-6 on the road to a ranked SEC team with a chance to tie / win with a minute left, I would have laughed in your face. 2) On offense, we have a few guys who look like they really belong out there...

First disclaimer - I didn't see the game as I was at a family event all day here in Oz. Feel like I dodged a bullet. That being said, followed the game on Twitter, etc., read the post-game articles and I took away the following: - First game where we weren't Bowl eligible and there were a...

So it's Saturday morning here and the in-laws are coming over for lunch. Great excuse to watch some football on the Slingbox! Temple's kicker has a good leg. Looked very solid on a 43 yarder.

I found this article completely bizarre. http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-uconn-football-offense-0925-20140924-story.html I understand that Cummings may set the game plan and the "pre-planned" play calls but it all begs the question. Who makes the play call when we're sitting...

I know this is a topic that's been debated over and over again but the following commentary from ESPN makes a point that I agree with. To me, scheduling isn't all about getting top P5 opponents every week OOC - you have to have a mix of teams from P5 and G5 which gives you a chance to shoot...

Despite the end result, glad I woke up at 2:00am to watch this live. I know it won't always be a straight line trend but the improvement from Stony Brook to this was significant. Joey Galloway was a really good color commentator - made some very good points some of which I'll repeat below for...

I might as well be the one to post this thread. I know spirits are down and I'm just as bummed out about CC's forced retirement but we shouldn't forget a few things which allow us to look somewhat positively on the upcoming "regular" season. 1) The defense: from the second half of the BYU game...

No discussion of dog sounds, post game press conferences or tailgating complaints - just sticking to the football. I'm sure BL will do a better job of summarizing in fewer words. Offensive Line: - Had a much worse game today than they did against BYU in my opinion overall against what I would...

The QB is probably going to be quite good, just a question of who is going to block for him or catch his passes. UConn is listed as their Key Game which makes sense...

If you take out the inflammatory language (and there is a lot of it) it is a pretty fair preview. Certainly a decent amount of respect for Diaco but just questions how long it will take to make an impact. I'd also say he's more upbeat on McCombs than most around here are. "McCombs is a...

In the USA Today countdown from Paul Myerberg. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/05/19/smu-southern-methodist-june-jones-2014-preview-roster-schedule-football-four/9215529/ Tough schedule for these guys, particularly the first six games.

I'm sure there will be the usual pissing and moaning about our dumpster fire of a conference...I'm just looking forward to a new season of college football. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/05/11/tulane-american-2014-countdown-preview-roster-schedule-football-four/8945695/...

Haven't really seen it mentioned anywhere else so wanted to bring it up. The conditioning of this team has been phenomenal, especially for our big three. Daniels played all 40 minutes and lead us in scoring and rebounding. Boat played 38 minutes, played incredible defense and was still...

Entering draft early according to D Conner.

A win against Memphis would mean 3-5 in conference, tied for 6th with whoever wins the RU / USF game. Just shows how bifurcated the conference was this year. A few good teams at the top and quite a bit of crap at the bottom.

I'm in Vegas for a trade show and figured I would take the opportunity to lay a bet on UConn winning the NCAA Men's Championship. I picked up the sheet and was very surprised to see that we had relatively unattractive odds at 25-1. Very few teams (a lot less than the number of teams ranked ahead...

Announced on Twitter. Greene, Hemingway and Ashiru starting in their places. Ugh.

Memphis crushing Arkansas State Cincinnati won (late) against Miami (OH) Louisville dominated FIU Rutgers came back to beat Arkansas Houston held on against Rice USF not playing All we need now is UConn to shock the world (and its own fans). Oh, and if SMU could beat Johnny Football too that...

http://snyuconn.com/uconn/football/late-night-wrap-huskies-fall-to-0-2/ I'd like to apologize for making an incorrect assumption in the game thread. I said there was no way Mack was coached to run that ball out of the end zone if the coverage was going to be that good (i.e. if Maryland...

QB was centering the ball to allow for a potentially game winning field goal from the middle of the field and for some reason placed the ball down instead of taking a knee. A defensive guy just laid down on the ball until a ref finally made him get off it to place the ball (should have been...

Our line can't block well enough in the passing game and Whitmer doesn't have anything remotely resembling pocket presence. He doesn't step up in the pocket at all anymore (I feel like he used to a lot more last year) and can't throw over the rush very well. As a result, we often roll him out...

Nice article here for anyone looking to delve a bit deeper into the reasons our offense looked so putrid against Towson. http://www.theuconnblog.com/2013/9/2/4685602/tale-of-the-tape-uconn-offense-vs-towson The big takeaways - Hemingway obviously did not perform on the right side and Whitmer...

Not a lot of complimentary things to be said about the rest of the conference which I suppose is in line with the rest of the national media and this board most times. Nothing will change unless some serious non-conference games can be won (cough, Michigan)...

It will be really interesting to see how Tuberville does in his first year. Assuming they don't drop an early season match up against the lower tier of the B1G (Purdue / Illinois), you have to think they will have a pretty good season and it will all come down to hosting Louisville on December...
