    OT: Who felt the earthquake about 1030?

    Standing in my shower, heard a rumble and the glass partition started to shake. Unique experience, but knew it was a quake. I live just south 10 miles south of Hartford.

    Big East Tournament Seeding Probabilities

    Good question. I decided to purchase for Thursday and wait for the send backs to purchase for Friday. Two ways to play this, if your at the first game can try to contact losing teams fans to see if they have tickets to sell. Could be touchy, but worked for me before. Other is wait till shortly...

    UConn Football Class of 2024 - NLI Early Signing Day Thread/Info (12/20/23>12/22/23)

    These recruiting services are far from balanced or accurate. First UConn does not have a person at 247 that covers the team. Many of the new recruits are not recorded or given a graded score. We are generally forgotten in the process as an after thought. Don't go by these services for a fair...

    UConn @ Rice Owls (Saturday 10/7/23 @ 5p EDT. Game on ESPN+)

    UConn's biggest weakness on defense is the secondary. Throw it down field and the success rate is extremely high. This is what Rice does very well. Not a good match up for us. Hope I am wrong, but Utah state picked us apart by attaching the weakest link. Stop the long ball and we could win, but...

    Announcers For Thursday

    OK, I give in. The correct spelling should have been hole. Never meant to diss anyone in gender or ability. Go UConn.

    The Athletic Daily College Football Rankings

    That will not impress anyone. You must schedule some underdog games and score some upsets to get peoples attention. Shooting at the low bar won't get us where we need to go.

    ok give it to me straight - why didn't we get in (again)

    I don't believe anyone anticipated the PAC to fall apart as quickly as it did. Looked good for UConn until that point. Money always rules the decision process in the end. It sucks, but is the reality of everything business related. Yes, it is also true our football has sucked. Some very bad...

    Tickets and attendance……

    Just purchased two season tickets a few weeks ago. Used to have 8 guys in a group and all dropped due to the play on the field. I decided to give it ago this year and bought two. When I went to look for seats nothing was available in the lower upper seats. Called the office and explained to me...

    The countdown to the 2023 Season Kick Off begins…

    Don't comment very often, but this is a shallow look at UConn with very little insight. If this team can only pull of 4 wins with that schedule were back to square one. I see 7 maybe 8 wins possible. Quarterback play will determine a lot of the outcome. Hoping for the best, can't wait for the...

    B12 Related - Why is UConn's brand so tainted?

    Are we any different than say Kansas, great basketball and poor football. I just think we are thought of just the same way they are. I love football and believe UConn is upward bound with Mora as head coach. Unfortunately he has only a short track record and it will take some time to be viewed...

    Proposed $24 million in repairs, upgrades at Rentschler Field comes as UConn football reaches agreement to extend playing at East Hartford stadium

    This is as simple as viewing the upkeep like you would your home. Replacing the roof, fixing leaks and doing standard maintenance. You can fix it and live there for many years comfortably or just live in it and watch it fall apart around you. I say fixing it is a pretty basic no brainer.

    Hurley threads (merged)

    Hurley can't shoot the ball or make passes. Not his fault players did not execute and Jackson was a human turn over machine. 26% shooting will loose every game. Players have to play better it's that simple.

    2022 UConn Football Mini-Plan…

    I live very close, 10-15 minutes away. Was a season ticket holder for many years and because of the terrible unwatchable games gave it up. Would love to buy in again, but I need to see some improvement . If this is available after first game or two may take advantage if things are looking up.

    2022 UConn QB Competition Discussion...

    The offensive line is the key. A very good quarterback can become below average without some form a quality blocking. Make gains here and they will all preform better.

    I am very hopeful Mora takes us to new heights. Lord we need it. He has a big job ahead of him, but I support him totally. Win 4 games and I'll come back as a season ticket holder. I am in show me mode.

    Danny O

    When you work in the corporate world you must tow the company line if you want to succeed. Dan works for ESPN and is well paid and I think he likes his job. ESPN does not support UConn sports an any way. They are not their networks product, so he is smart not to talk up UConn to much. Beside...

    Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

    These jobs descriptions are written like state contracts. Tailored to meet the desired product or person they want to hire. Just add in the very specific wording that eliminates others. It's easy if you pay attention to detail of the individual or product. These are not open or competitive...

    Steven Krajewski appreciation thread

    Agreed he is giving his all in an impossible situation. Not his fault he gets almost zero support. He does hold the ball to long and force to many throws. Learn to throw it away when there is nothing to throw to. Interceptions are just trying to make something happen out of nothing in most...

    Steven Krajewski appreciation thread

    I did not see the game , but did see the stat sheet. 18-42 and three interceptions does not strike me as any form of success. Have been at two actual games this year and realize we have 0 offensive line so there is that working against him. It not all on him, but I also saw he single handedly...

    I love the Valley

    Played for Amity high against those great Derby teams in the late 60's and early 70's. Derby was state champs in 1970 and although a small town, produced some big guys with talent. Also Shelton and Seymour were solid and very tough opponents.
