    Gordon Sammis Named OC

    Well, that part we really don't know. They made it sound like he left voluntarily; but, he was most likely pushed, in which case UConn is on the hook only for the difference in salaries assuming he took a cut.

    ACC replacement list: UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Washington State, Oregon State

    I just love everyone talking about their love for the BE hoping UConn can go someplace and take the BE with them. Ain't happening. No one is taking schools that don't play FBS FB. This FB centric influence has already been felt in the BB tournament. If Purdue had not lost in their tournament...

    UConn MHOC 23-24

    I finally got to the TFIF for the first time for a women's tournament game. Much nicer than Frietas or the Saarinen Roof (although I was a roof fan). But I talked to several people about the atmosphere at men's games. In short it was unanimous that the atmosphere sucks at men's games. And...

    Not sure that is fair. But we only have a half year before the data start coming in.

    What is the end game in a P2 world?

    Well, we are being force fed those 18 teams. We view them out of curiosity and to keep up with the game. We channel surf and finally end up on the most interesting game from the standpoint of the sport itself. But no rooting interest. It is a sterile experience.

    Well, they know know which pages of the hymnal are likely to be chosen, I will give you that. But there is a lot of the playbook that is underutilized.

    Gordon Sammis Named OC

    Just guessing here, but I suspect that HCJM wants to stay with the current playbook. The players all know it. The coaches all know it. He most probably wants to keep any changes to an evolutionary variety, perhaps a different emphasis in certain situations. Variations on a theme, not major...

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    I cannot believe that their men's team plays in a dump. That raises a very interesting question.

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    The NCAA did not chose the site. Ohio State claimed the regional site by virtue of its Pairwise ranking. Perhaps the men are playing in their regular venue.

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    Thing is, the public criticism that HCJM made of the offense at the end of the year pretty much was a signal to Charlton to start looking with some urgency.

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    This is the Land of Steady Habits. UConn ain't going in that direction.

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    Oh, he was most definitely pushed. Had to be.

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    Gotta think that HCJM has anticipated this situation and has already managed that risk. I think it is pretty obvious that HCJM and AD David Benedict have pulled off a very deft solution to a difficult problem. Why do we think that they would not have the expertise to handle the recruits and other players?

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    If he took a pay cut, then it is likely that UConn is picking up the difference as part of the deal.

    Are you insinuating the old addition by subtraction law applies here?

    As college football's elite is engulfed in a power struggle, G5 left just trying to survive: 'We are a farm system'(Ross Dellenger @ Yahoo)

    What did I see yesterday? 50-50 that congress will grant NCAA anti-trust exemption this year?

    As college football's elite is engulfed in a power struggle, G5 left just trying to survive: 'We are a farm system'(Ross Dellenger @ Yahoo)

    Almost certainly true, but I have no first hand knowledge of the south other than having gone to Clemson a bunch of times mid week.

    As college football's elite is engulfed in a power struggle, G5 left just trying to survive: 'We are a farm system'(Ross Dellenger @ Yahoo)

    In the mid west, people come from far and wide to see the game. A much bigger area than just the boundaries of the TV market.

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    The Men's tournament was 12 teams in the 1990s and early oughts I believe. I remember seeing Clarkson playing Western Michigan in Albany in 1996 with South Windsor hero Chris Clark playing for the Golden Knights. My game account is in the HOCKEY-L archives. The very next day they had to play BU...

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    I will make this point again. Minnesota and Clarkson both have byes in the first round. The winner of their game goes straight to the Frozen Four.

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    Where does it say that? 8 MND plays 9 UConn in the first round in Columbus. If they were 7 they would not be in Columbus.

    Give it up for Chris MacKenzie, Dad-joking mastermind behind UConn’s rise in women’s hockey (Dom Amore-Courant)

    We had not been to a women's game in a decade and had never been to the TFIF when we went to the Holy Cross game. What immediately stood out was team discipline. Short shifts, centerman high in the O zone, the physicality. Almost no situation where you were temped to shout MOVE IT (ie. pass the...

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    MN v Clarkson is a QF game not a first round game. There are only 3 first round games. And I have a strong suspicion they will switch Cornell and MN-D. Not completely convinced, but I think it is more than 50-50.

    UConn 2023-2024 Women’s Hockey East Championship>NCAA Frozen Four (Thursday 3/14/24 vs. Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs @7pm ET in Columbus, OH on BIG10+)

    I am really excited for the program. So now the top four seeds are clear. Despite being hammered by Wisconsin today 6-3, Ohio State is still in first place in the Pairwise. 1. Ohio State 2. Wisconsin 3. Colgate 4. Clarkson So normally they would send UConn to play MN-D in Columbus. But that...

    UConn v. Vermont Catamounts (Thursday 3/7/24 @Toscano Family Ice Forum @7p). Game on ESPN+

    Yeah, thx. I didn't read that one. And I haven't paid enough attention. Looks like a ten team playoff and Northeastern is ahead of UConn by percentage even tho USCHO has it the other way around.
