I was a big college football fan. In fact, I didn't watch or care much for the NFL. There was something about college football that was very different. Tradition, pageantry the great stories about the improbable. It was a lot of fun watching UCONN step up and have meaningful success in the...

They would be 0-2 in conference play this season losing to basketball powerhouses Maine Black Bears and New Hampshire Wildcats. Both of those games were at BC. Going to be a long and miserable season for the Eagles as I'm guessing ACC play might be just a little tougher. Breaks my heart.

UCONN just handed you losses to your beloved football and hockey teams and last night on your home court your hoops team lost to........wait for it.........the basketball blue blood Black Bears of Maine. Nice paycheck from the ACC, but the rest of it is going to s......

One game for the National Championship. ARMY vs NAVY Why not put the spotlight on those that give the most of themselves in the most selfless way? Put a national spotlight on the best of America at a time of so much fear and turbulenc. Only fans would be the Cadets on one side and the...

From my perspective about 50% of college football fans want their football coach fired every week. I think programs can and do harm themselves pulling the trigger too early and often on coaching changes. I am also an Edsall fan. Do I think he's Vince Lombardi? No. But, he took this...

Did not see him and he’s not in the box score.

Going to be in Seattle in Sept. when the other Huskies play Hawaii. Stubhub doesn’t have tickets yet, but it looks like SeatGeek does. I know some of these sites are not reputable. Anybody know anything about SeatGeek? Much thanks.

This defense is bad by epic proportions. I was concerned last season that none of the underclassmen where pressing seniors for playing time. It’s obvious why that was the case now. This group should be better next year, but from what base? Marginal FCS talent? Memphis rushed for 400 yards...

On the way back from the West Coast I was able to watch the UCONN game and Syracuse - FSU game. FSU is simply not a very good football team, but the Cuse beat them like a drum on both sides of the ball. The Orange have a stout and physical defense and a very solid offensive line. Honestly, if...

Was thinking of the success we've had over the years with the return game. It featured some very good (if not highly recruited) athletes and I think it points to recruiting deficiencies in some areas. These kids were all burners and highly successful returning kicks and punts: Brunch, Butler...

Diaco's agent! I'm not kidding. That was duck*ing masterful!

I think I'm pretty balanced with this stuff, but yesterday was very disappointing in terms of a prognosis for UCONN football. My thoughts on the game and moving forward: Beautiful day, nice stadium, great city. Had a very nice time. Lots of UCONN fans in attendance. I have no idea how many...

What's the best way to assure I get tickets in the UCONN section? Much thanks.

That was a good game yesterday and pretty exciting. Throughout the 4th quarter folks left in droves. I stayed with my daughter to watch the song at the end of the game. We walked out to our car and we were on the street about 10 minutes after getting to our car. I honestly don't get it.

Oh wait. Is this the wrong week for that? :)

With a pending B12 invite the ACC extends an offer to take us in. Then, what I want is very simple...... I want 'n bloody, beating hearts of BC and Syracuse on a platter. Because on a level playing field, they know what happens when they compete with UCONN, and it ends very poorly...

I've been at Conti when UCONN took over that gym as our home court. It was awesome. It would easily be 50% or more UCONN fans and we were vocal. How great would it be to get 10,000 Husky fans in Alumni? We could easily be 25% of the fans that day and if BC struggles next season, which they...

To me, the big question is direction and projection of the program under Diaco's leadership. Yesterday was frustrating, but I don't see it as indicative of a lack of progress or that the program can't and won't continue to improve under Diaco. That we continue to struggle on offense is...

Redemption and some revenges. Arkeel's coming out party with over 200 yards of total offense. Defense is solid and Huskies win the turnover battle 3-1. 24-20 Huskies!

Army was great prep for the Midshipmen and Navy finds it is facing the best defense it has seen so far. Shirrefs gets what he wants in the passing game and Max and Arkeel split 30 carries and 100 yards. We do not miss an extra point. Dogs 24-17.

Let's face it, the last two seasons have been absolutely miserable. Fan attention has been in a death spiral and it was about inconceivable that we could hang with a Mizzou. The Civil Conflict, three fake kicks in one game, and god knows some of the stuff Diaco says is straight looney tunes...

No way UCONN can take on the SEC elite. Remember what happened when the Huskies had to take on the Gamecocks in the Papa Johns? Same thing. Physical and staunch D coupled with a solid run game and opportunistic play action. We win the turnover battle 3-1. We win the game 20-17.

There is a revenge factor and this UCONN team knows this is an important game. This one will not be overlooked. Johnson pounds away for 100+ and that opens up the passing game for Sherriffs and crew. I think either the defense or specials gets a TD. The defense does a nice job with the...

UCONN controls both lines of scrimmage, rushes for 125 yards and gets 3 sacks. Special team score by Newsome. Defense sets up another score on a fumble recovery. Dogs 31-27

Had to have his palm placed between his shoulder blades to keep Olie around and witness a NC to walk into contract negotiations. Diaco... Umbrella drink in hand when Louisville to ACC announced. I continue to have my doubts.

How bad you ask? We'll be dogs at home to Villanova to start next season.....we might be getting as many as 7 points. This thing has fallen off a cliff since Edsall left. I really don't know what to make of Diaco. He clearly felt the need to break the whole thing down and rebuild from...

I usually post some drivel about my clairvoyant view of how the game will be played, the score and, of course, always predicting a UCONN win. Not this week. What I realistically expect is a game that will be more challenging than the fans expect. I think UCONN wins, but it's probably less...

The Diaco era starts. Its inauspicious, as BYU takes it's opening drive down the field and Hill runs in from about 10 yards for 6. But, BYU's only other score is a field goal before the half and UCONN goes in at half time down only 10-3. The Rent is a rock'in in the second half. A sweep to...

.... and I don't mean the football team. I mean as fans, supporters and alum. These basketball teams did unbelievable work this past season. Our coaches and players represented our University beautifully. They did all they could and more to show the country what UCONN is all about. Football...

For some of the younger followers here, it's important to recall that Syracuse played at a national level that UCONN did not in either hoops and, of course, football not all that long ago. Syracuse has had a few "WTF how the hell did this happen" moments. The first was JC bringing the...

BC has lost a total of 63 games over the last three seasons, culminating in this season's record of 24 losses. Truly a Rutgers-esq performance. It is not inconceivable that within the next 5-10 years that BC could make a serious run at an NIT appearance.

Between the 2012 and 2013 draft as many as six of the starters will be drafted in the first four rounds of the NFL draft - Trevardo, Sio, Yawin, Blide, Dwayne and possibly Shamar. Now throw Joseph who was playing at as NFL califer draft pick prior to his injury, Wirth who played at an...

sorry guys............just wanted to be the first to post that

I have no idea what Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber (P and GDL) were thinking with this offense, but how the running game got so duckked up is a mystery to me. Even in a crisis scenario TJ and Foley were able to get this to something approaching competence. This may not be the best OL, but it is...

I have never done this before and swore I never would. But, these are desperate times and continuing to do the same things can only lead to the same outcomes. For the first time EVER I am predicting a UCONN loss. I do this with a heavy heart hoping for reverse mojo. You have to do what you...
