    Not sure how he is employed by Fox. It is hard to be as bad as he is as a commentator.

    Depaul Home Game (January 2nd)-What will be open in or near Storrs?

    Had planned for months to attend whichever UConn home game ended up being scheduled for the first week of January as I will travel to New York City that week. As luck would have it, we got Depaul that week at Gampel. In terms of restaurants on or near campus, anyone know what should be open on...

    Buying BE Tournament tickets ahead of time

    You choose a price/locating range, UConn assigns you with the exact location based on donation level. We got assigned Section 8.

    Any TV Update for CCSU in Week 1?

    I see that there is a Fox 61 app available for iPads/iPhones. Does anyone know if the game will be streamed there? Thanks

    Who Will Be the 12th Big East Team?

    If staying at 20 League games is necessary, we can still do that with 12 teams. You would play 9 teams twice and 2 teams once.

    Who Will Be the 12th Big East Team?

    The Big East needs to expand to 12 teams at the very least for a number of reasons. First and foremost, one of the largest source of revenue for a basketball centric league like the BE are NCAA Tournament units. The more teams you have in conference, the more teams you are likely to have make...

    UConn rivals old and new: Big East feels more complete to Jay Wright, builder of Villanova’s championships

    That’s not the point. Of course the 2016 team was great (as was the 2018 team). The point is that 2-3 players on those teams would not have attended Villanova if the 2012-2013 Big East remained in place.

    UConn rivals old and new: Big East feels more complete to Jay Wright, builder of Villanova’s championships

    The question I often ask is whether Nova would have won it all in 2016 and 2018 if they still shared a conference with UConn (and Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, etc.) during those years. I think the answer is no. But credit to them; they took full advantage of the conference breakup to build...

    Feeling pretty good

    With UConn gone, Temple really finds itself on an island in the AAC (Navy is only a football member). That is a recipe for disaster. If UConn can make independence work, I would not be surprised to see Temple try to do the same assuming they can go back to the A10 for non-football sports (or if...

    Game Week: UConn @ UMass (10/26/19 @ 3:30)

    It looks like it is $12.50 a month if you sign up for an annual subscription. If you want to do it on a monthly basis, it is $19.99.

    UConn @ UCF (11/20/2021) on BOT Agenda

    Using this logic, UConn should play 10+ road buy games to make more money. It just doesn’t work that way. You need home games to be a successful program because at the end of the day they sill need to win at some point to survive and home games are much easier to win. But I guess my biggest...

    UConn @ UCF (11/20/2021) on BOT Agenda

    If we can get a home and home with a Big Ten team (Maryland) and there are rumors of similar series being worked out, why the heck do we need to play a road buy game vs an AAC team? Plus, one buy road game per year is likely a necessity as an independent, but two such games almost ensures that...

    Expectations?

    We better not have to wait until 20-21 to make the tournament as many are implying here. If we do, that would be four straight years without making the tournament. Not an option. If Jalen returns and Hurley is as good as we are hoping he is, we should be good enough to make the tournament next...

    So who starts at QB next week?

    You give Pindell one more chance. He was not bad out there. It was his first game at this level. He appears to be more talented.

    Thoughts of an anti-Edsall hire guy as practice starts

    As some of you might remember, I was one of the strongest critics of the Edsall hire. Sure I wanted Diaco gone, but to me, Edsall was a very stubborn guy who, with a bunch of NFL players and playing in a BCS conference, could never win more than 9 games in a season. I wanted someone that could...

    Tremont Waters

    It's one thing for UConn not to be a kid's first choice, I can live with that. But it is an entirely different thing when a kid appears to be completely ambivalent or dismissing about the possibility of playing at UConn and appearing to only be considering coming here if nothing else...

    Noel Thomas is The Real Deal

    I hate to agree with Palatine, but Noel did have a relatively high drop rate. His drop in the end zone against UCF likely cost us that game. On the other hand, Noel often caught passes the average WR would not be able to catch.

    Lion's make playoffs..Edsall to split time between Lions/UConn

    A “Rational” Argument Against the Edsall Hire

    Might it be because in a BCS conference a decade ago 8 wins a year were good enough but now that would not really get you much?

    I still strongly believe Edsall is a terrible hire

    If Skiblets and SDHuksky's posts are not love fests, then I do not know what a love fest is.

    What Happened at Maryland?

    This: Marriage of Randy Edsall and Maryland was doomed from the start And that is exactly why I am not convinced about this hire.

    A “Rational” Argument Against the Edsall Hire

    I am amazed at how many people are already resigned to at best going 8-4 and simply being respectable again. I expect/hope for much better than that. If Temple, USF, UCF, Navy, Memphis, Cincy and Houston can do it, so can we.

    A “Rational” Argument Against the Edsall Hire

    According to the pro-Edsall crowd, hiring Randy is the correct choice mainly because that means we will average 8 wins a season, we will recruit NFL talent, we will have a competent offensive line and we will have a “grown up” in charge of the team. Pasqualoni was a grown up as well, still...

    For all y'all who hate how Randy left

    And yet, in 12 years he beat as many Top 25 teams (1) as Pasqualoni and Diaco did. That is much more important to me than how he left or how emotional he was after the ND game.

    Edsall Love Fest

    Just because Edsall made us respectable before does not mean he would be able to do so again. Heck, by that logic Pasqualoni should have been a home run hire because he had some great years at Syracuse.

    Benedict has to address this mess

    My email to Benedict (I encourage you all to do something similar): Dear Mr. Benedict: Hope you are doing well. I am writing you today to express my concerns with the direction of UConn’s football program. I am sure I am not the first to do so, and will certainly not be the last. One of the...

    AAC Using "P6" Decals On Helmets

    I don't get why anyone would have an issue with this. When it comes to college football, perception is everything. Anything to change the P5 narrative helps.
