    Hall / Johnnies

    Lived in the brand new "Barbra Manor Apts.", We had a "designated driver", (before they were called "designated drivers") to the St. John's game on St. Patrick's Day, March 17. The City was Rockin' and Rollin', a wee bit of Green Beer and Whisky before and after the game at one of the local...

    Do we add another QB?

    I like him. He played in a "mid-size" division on L.I. I have no real in depth scouting analysis on the young man, but just a sense of an enthusiastic QB who wants to observe, learn, work hard in body and mind and be in the mix to contribute On the field. We shall see, if he can maintain his...

    Some pretty blunt assessments from Jim Mora

    Pardon me, correction: UVA beat W & M at home 27-13 last Saturday, First win of the year. At least we beat a true D-1 team on the road.

    UCONN's Treasure - Andy Baylock

    Thanks for this post. Coach deserves any and all accolades coming to him. To say he's a "Good Man" is a vast understatement. And thanks to Coach for organizing and recognizing the 50 Year reunion of the 1973 Championship Team during the upcoming FIU game on Sept. 16. He forgets no one.

    I realize everyone on this board(and all "boards") knows "Football Drives the Bus" but still, it's a bit disconcerting(disheartening)(?) to imagine the reaction when one states "UConn just Won their 5th National Championship in Men's Basketball in 24 years..."(Not to mention the "few" WBB...

    Injury Epidemic: UConn and Elsewhere

    Pardon the "Old Timer's Story" but playing for UConn's football team in '74 had a preseason scrimmage at The Mansfield Training School(I believe that what it was called then), an over anxious freshman, pulled me down by the back of the jersey after I had relaxed as I was nearly out of bounds...

    TE coach to CCSU head coach?

    UConn in the NFL

    Having upvoted the video for the excellent play by Andrew, one of our own, I would be remiss if I didn't agree with the holding the ball up with the one hand around the 35 yard line and carrying it that way for 15 yards or so. Not necessary to make too much of it, just wait until you cross the...

    UConn football coach Jim Mora giving CT native Victor Rosa an opportunity: 'True competitor' (Hearst)

    I like the way he does it, runs hard and fast, puts his head down, just gets up and does it again. A true freshman, inexperienced obviously, who came in having played (respectfully), less than top competition in high school. As the seasons go by I assume we'll see him all over the field, HB...

    Rosa TD

    I was concerned about that. If I may, Joe D. on Fox61 making the statement, before Rosa's nice run, akin to, "Don't want to rub it in their faces..., should just(my translation), take a knee..."). Bologna Joe. This team is in desperate need to change "The Culture" we often hear bandied about...
