You can easily photoshop whatever you want the SI cover to be.

We’re lucky to have Ian Eagle. He may not be Nantz but all the others pale in comparison.

I agree. I’m not so sure this game will be as much decided by the big men as expected. If Edey and Clingan both get in foul trouble—which is the refs easy answer to accusations of babying Edey, victory may ultimately hinge on guard play. Loyer is very capable of a big night even if Smith is...

Raftery is a treasure. If Hubie Brown is 90, I hope Raf’s around for another 10 years!

Palatine is right. You guys are dissing one of the best we ever had. You have recency bias. Records are made to be broken. In the case of rebounds in college basketball though, the record in NCAA Tournament Games hasn’t been topped in almost 70 years. Most Rebounds Ever in an NCAA Tournament...

They better start paying locals to attend, or fill the stadium using AI. Very few people are ever watching spring football. No one is watching no name players in a sparslly filled stadium.

But they’ll leave the BE in a millisecond if football improves enough to get them an invite into the Big 12 or the (leftover) ACC —and Benedict is working hard to make it happen. It’s all about survival.

“A big plus for the Huskies is their guards are incredible rebounders. Newton is best in the country”.

It’s more about saving our football program. Ultimately we’ll take the ACC over the BE.

Did the BE get screwed by the committee? Absolutely. But take some solace in the fact that given the shifting landscape, my sense is we won't be in the BE for much longer.

How about this. Put your money on Northwestern like me. That will cure your obsession with FAU.

All of this ACC turmoil is good for UConn. Ultimately, the contentious legal brickbats thrown by FSU, Clemson et al, will result in a settlement--a separation-- and a need to backfill. Benedict has always felt that after the PAC 12 collapsed and the 4 Corner Schools fell into Yormark's lap (an...

I‘m thrilled at this turn of events. Charlton was taking us nowhere. The new OC gets to work with —and develop—our highly touted Frosh QB. I feel the OC job will have several quality candidates looking to fill it.—or they’ve already been selected. The ominous nature of the changing landscape of...

Once the dust settles with their version of musical chairs, we'll be invited to the ACC. And that's probably the best fit, geographically and rivalry-wise. Even after USC and UCLA announced they were bolting for the B1G, we were still a slam dunk certain for the BIG 12---until the PAC 12...

Jim Nagy who runs the Senior Bowl has a great track record of inviting under the radar guys --and having several stand out. Our invited guys didn't just make themselves more valuable in the draft, they got UConn noticed, too. That wouldn't happen if they had shown themselves to be middle of the...

You despise Mike Farrell because why, he was often critical of UConn recruiting and"down starred" our recruits in favor of BC talent? A three star UConn guy could become a four star when he flipped to BC? I remember that. But if he was such an un-informed, biased jerk he wouldn't have earned the...

I've always liked Jason Candle. BC should be happy if he's the one.

The jacket designs aren't new. I saw this one when we were playing at BC in 2016.

Of course it is--lol. But it's also weird.

….that The Super Bowl Logo this year is purple and red—Ravens and 49ers colors? What’s that about? Do the two top seeds always have their colors represented on the logo? Is it mere coincidence? Wishful thinking? A mischievous staffer? Or something more?

Why buy a stock when you could buy a fixed rate bond? Betting is about having an opinion and being willing to back it up. Being anxious toward the end of any game is what makes the whole process worth the effort. It’s the sweaty palms, not just the money, that are the rewards for putting your...

I had it at -3.5. As the game moved into its final stages I was resigned to losing the bet, and just hoped we didn’t blow the game! Then when Newton gave us the 4 point lead with 4 secs left, I suddenly had an unexpected chance of covering and was thrilled watching them hoist that low...

Its pretty amazing how Jimmy Sexton is the agent for all the coaches mentioned for Alabama. He floats their names, gets all of them raises and then scores the winning selection. No surprise that Kalen DeBoer recently signed with Sexton. He'll become the new Alabama HC.

I doubt this was an impulsive move by Cam. He has good parental support.

Justin Joly's at NC State.

Sounds like you're hoping he won’t.

No, not for winning 4 games. For making Colorado football relevant and enthusing a student body beyond anything I've seen here. The money is pouring in and the student applications are off the charts. Consider that the prior 5 years out there were worse than being at the Rent on a rainy day...

No but they should be paying for a new OC. Tommy Rees blew a tire Monday night and cost them the game. His utter failure to adjust in the first half was malpractice. And the last play, please. As for Bowl games, as long as fans want to watch, and bettors have action--and sponsors want to get...

Well, when it comes to coaches, one man’s idea of a BS artist is another’s motivational leader. There are lots of examples. I’ll take DS any day over the moribund lackeys who held that job for the last 5 years. Three of my grandkids went to or currently attend UC Boulder. Mel Tucker and Karl...

Isn’t every bet a guess? Even at full strength. In these opt out games what shifts thinking is the importance of the missing players position, the coach, and the conference. Over-unders are actually easier to guess. If you didn’t have Notre Dame or Mizzou you weren’t guessing too well. Oregon St...

why not?

Bowl games have always been over hyped. How long have we heard that it's all about "who wants to be there more". It won't really matter much if the team that shows up is not the one that played all year. We fans go to Bowl games for the the chance to gather with friends at an away site and cheer...

Unfortunately, that idea runs contrary to where UConn sees itself in the pantheon of college athletics. And self-perception must come first before others see you in that light. We are NC, Kentucky, Kansas and Louisville. Great in basketball, but generally perceived as meh in football. Until they...

Florida Gators have a horrible helmet. They have better players, but a worse helmet design than we do. On the other hand I haven't heard any of my Gator friends ever complain about their helmet. Maybe that says it all about where we should be placing our emphasis.

I like that idea. I agree the dog should be larger. Do that, and we fans will have solved the helmet issue. Now we can move on to player development and in-game coaching strategies.
