For optics, I would much rather be the NIT champ than to have played in no tournaments. I also like Shaheen a lot more than Pitino.

Cole Welliver is the guy. Standing around with the QBs, he looks like a man among boys (even though he’s the youngest). Taking snaps and reading the D, he’s casual and looks like the game is slower for him than the others. And his throws were effortless! All parts of the field, with a soft...

Jim Mora’s instagram is “uconncoachmora”, where he made UConn football posts as recently as April 3rd, March 31st, and March 26. Jim Mora’s Twitter/X is “CoachJimMoraFB”. He posted about UConn football YESTERDAY, about half a dozen tweets about Christian Haynes on 4/6, a few more UConn...

The Big Ten never had a shot at winning the NCAA title. No point in obsessing over the champions after the fact.

Where are these rumors coming from? I hadn’t heard it, and it does seem like a step down from where he is now. Although his stock is as high as it’s ever been, maybe ASU is offering him a hefty raise? We can’t let him go!

Coverage is for winners. -Glengarry Jim Mora

I have mixed feelings, watching the defense pick off the offense in practice.

I like his experience recruiting and success in Virginia. He has limited time as a QB coach but did well in that role… he seems to have done well in all roles and is an up and coming coach… here’s to many great successes at UConn!

If he is willing to leave the pros, I would love to see it happen! He just got hired by the Falcons, but a bump up from passing specialist to OC at the Alma mater might be tempting enough. He has been QB coach/worked with Justin Herbert in the pros, and Trevor Lawrence/Justin Fields in...

You had me at “UConn is destined to be picked up by someone soon”, I will drink that cool aid every time.

Hell will freeze over before EA leaves out micro-transactions!

If they unionize then they stop receiving $600 plus a copy of the game. There are only a handful of guys that are worth more than $600 to EA. Those kids are in college for a couple years to get paid before the NFL. Those players, that will sell more copies of the game, are getting paid...

I was very envious, those jackets were awesome.

When UConn was only a few years into 1A, we were got transfers from Notre Dame and USC.

Wow I am ecstatic early this year, usually I have to wait until spring for my unbridled enthusiasm.

He is probably more focused on working out and finding his next $chool than he is focused on social media. Good for him, I’m sure he’ll update it eventually.

Looks like a solid get from NMSU. He played in all 11 games as a reserve his freshman year, looks like he was getting more playing time last year as a sophomore but then got hurt and missed most of the season. The kid has a couple years of eligibility left and is healthy now, let’s goooo...

Chucky Tackle is a great name for a football player, a hometown hero whose name will pay for itself in NIL. Offer that kid the bag, and his younger brother Chunky Tackle too!

So we are beating out Liberty and their donors’ deep pockets for talent, that is awesome. Welcome Deon!

The only one bringing up that trophy is you. Jay from fla? Sounds like you’re on the wrong side of the CONNfliCT! Seriously troll, how long have you been lurking to make that joke?

That’s just a talking point that people use rather than saying “it’s about the money”. Are there some kids who value something more? Yes sure, but it’s mostly about the money. You’re fooling yourself if you believe otherwise.

You mean the last time we went bowling?

What’s that saying about putting lipstick on a pig?

If a student like Joly is able to secure and save/invest NIL money while getting his degree at another school, it’s probably a good move regardless whether they have NFL-aspirations or not. Of course, if they transfer and then have a bunch of fun wasting the NIL money… it was probably a...

Is there any momentum for investing a greater percent of the new money into the endowment vs spending on current use projects? It would be nice if the department had more endowment revenue so they could be less dependent on annual gifts…

Everyone here is all butthurt about Joly’s comments, but if anyone should feel bad about Joly’s comments it’s definitely UMass

I thought it was more about getting rid of Diaco than pushing for Edsall. We had no money for the Diaco buyout, and then Edsall was the only bum available that we could afford. At the time it was absolutely worth it to move on from Diaco, so thanks to the Burtons for that.

Jason Belzer says a top tight end is worth around $100k in the portal, but word on the street is that our TE just got around TRIPLE that to go to Tennessee. So all these numbers are outdated and understated. Chumps like us are trying to adjust to, “the big boys spent $1.5M on transfers last...

Time to move Marinelli to OC?

When the Huskies went down to Knoxville, they got absolutely beat all around and Joly was about the only one to have a good game/look like he belonged on the field with the Vols.

My “little” cousin just wrapped up his playing career there… I have been attending Trinity games on weekends that UConn is away, and I love it! The tailgating is about a hundred yards from the gate. At halftime, you can walk out and fire up the grill for some quick burgers/dogs/beers between...

You’re not wrong. Kill had previously stepped down from Minnesota due to some health concerns, but was ready to get back in the coaching game at a lesser commitment than head coach. Benedict wanted Kill to come in as OC/associate head coach and Diaco said no, legend has it this is what led to...

Roberson really stares down his target. It looked like he only had one read on every play, and a good safety could read his eyes like a book. Luckily they were only play against Sacred Heart
