Ryan Griffin:s Dad here: If you get close to the Whitmer family give them our best, Chandler was always a class act along with his family. He always wanted to win, and never stopped trying. He also knew how to handle a loss, which is always a good measure of a person. Post-wins are easy living...

As Ryan prepares for the playoff game against the Patriots, I thought I would share this article with you guys. He is excited for the Huskies moving forward, and so am I. Coach Edsall sat in our living room 9 yrs ago and convinced us as a family that Ryan should attend UConn to get his degree...

Carl, one more voice added..... Texans' Ryan Griffin pumps UConn for Big 12 expansion

Class guy, great coach. He recruited my son, and I feel he is personally responsible for getting Ryan to Sunday football. Ryan had a few other D1 schools courting him, but none put in the time and effort that Mike Foley did. That man sat through countless high school basketball practices to get...

A Boneyard tailgate crew is a great idea. I started a parents tailgate in my son's second year, with help from Nostical (also known as The Guvnah), and Big Tim Willman, it grew from twenty people to over 250 members today, and still growing. I attended the spring game to check in on them, and it...

Great idea. They brought Ryan in from Houston for this too. He was excited to be a part of this. Absolutely more Alums should be involved, especially Sunday players. The young kids need inspiration from time to time to stay motivated.

Obviously I watched the whole game. Darius Butler was everywhere. Ryan Griffin also well represented UConn with career highs in receiving, and Donald Brown was looking great until a stinger took him out. Ryan actually had a tackle on Darius Butler "post" interception. Go Huskies.

Nothing like doing battle with the red line gest-apo officers. Miss that. God forbid you have your toe on the line. Well, see you at the 40!

Really wanted to be at Mich and Maryland. Travel for Sunday games kills any Sat. plans. See you Fri. JR

Boneyarder friends, I will finally make it back this Fri. night to the Rent. I hope to see some old friends and fans I used to stand with behind the red line. The last game with the Colts brought back old memories seeing Donald Brown and Darius Butler on the same field as Ryan. Good stuff...

Way to go Sherm. I miss those days of standing on the 50 with his grandfather who was always so proud. He was a machine on special teams. I always thought he was made to play on Sundays with that motor. Here's to a long career.

Thanks KGun. I did. Stole your pic!

Hey Sportsart, Thanks. and yes first catches (not counting preseason) Owen Daniels retrieved the game ball after his first catch and gave it to Ryan. Class act. I have it.

Thought you folks would like this. UConn is being well represented by Griff and Kendall Reyes. http://www.csnhouston.com/football-houston-texans/talk/texans-griffin-makes-most-opportunities

Sounds like a country band I know, but I figured I would check in to the BY and update. Ryan has made it through mini-camp and is in OTAs. He is working hard, the competition is fierce as expected. Here is a pic of him and the other tight ends. #84 on the left. Will update here from time to...

I normally don't pump my son's tires on the internet, but with the draft approaching quickly I have been scanning the web for draft articles. I came across this one, and I think if you know football, and you watched my son play, you will appreciate this. So I posted here, mostly to share what I...

FYI for fans of #94 he will visit with four teams per their request in the next two weeks.

I move that we forthwith use the 2AC moniker for less confusion. What a #$%^&uck

He is focused right now on pro day Coachcap, feelin pretty snubbed. I just saw him in Pensacola, he is much bigger, stronger, faster. Tipped the scales at 6-6 and 262 lbs of muscle. Clocked at a 4.72 forty and a 33 inch vertical. See the recent Des article...

Thanks guys, there are quite a few Griffins (Ryan included) who were disappointed. There are some very good tight ends attending this combine, and Ryan would have been honored to attend with his peers. We will be watching the combine, and rooting for his fellow defensive players, and the other...

If you want to see the guys from UConn, the game is this Sat. at 3pm Eastern on CBS sports Network, the old Versus channel in my cable lineup. Ryan' team, the Stripes is being coached by Dan Reeves. We are heading to Alabama, will catch a few practices, meet the players and coaches on Fri. and...

I heard East-West Shrine game? Not positive but it makes sense. My son is training with him in Fla. so I will advise if I find out for sure.

I have enjoyed reading and posting here during Ryan's career. I will miss your optimism/pessimism, and your overall dedication to this team and University. I have learned so much from you folks. It is amazing the amount of football knowledge which can be found here. Keep the faith, UConn sports...

Yes. Congrats. The Hooded One has little patience with rookies. Too bad. But he will get a chance to exact revenge this weekend on my Patriots. http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/blitz/?p=20589&srvc=sports&position=recent_bullet

Congratulations to Nick Williams for his recognition on two big awards this week, one he garnered, and one he is in the running (finals) for. Special Teams POW, and The Pop Warner National Football Award. Good stuff. The NFL should be paying close attention to this dynamic small package who...

Heard some differing snow totals on line. Trying to plan family footwear for the Pitt tailgate. Sounds like waterproof boots are in order.

Yes, finally some really good news about UConn football. Congrats, wish Kash the best.

Glad you asked. It is screwing up our tailgate caravan out of East Hartford for sure. Had to go to plan b. Her e is everything you need to know: http://www.hartfordmarathon.com/Events/ING_Hartford_Marathon/Traffic_Impact.htm

Nice work fellas. Not 100% well, players sidelined, but gutted out a great and much needed win. And the kudos keep coming. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/36693/big-east-players-of-the-week-17

Seth, I run a pretty big tailgate (son also plays on the team) at every home game. Season ticket holders keep this program and scholarships viable, you are welcome to crash our tailgate anytime . You will meet some By'ers, some Alumni, some diehard fans, players and families. Drop me an email at...

Oh, don't worry I will follow this team and root for them. Uconn football will always have a place in my heart. If Ryan gets to the next level, I hope to do some Sat. traveling to slightly bigger venues which will be just fine. I also plan to be at the Rent for at least a couple a year, made...

BL, love your analysis, look forward to it. I will miss it after this year. I agree with everything you said, and you are spot on when it comes to the coaches having two (or) tight ends. Ryan has started pretty much since he took the field, and the coaches have the luxury of John Delahunt, a...

I hope to come down for one or two a year, I will miss the D-1 football and tailgating experience. I like it much better than all the pro games I have been to.

My son plays on the team. Our family seats are pretty good, UConn side around the 20 or so, close to the field. I run a tailgate for all home games (in the blue lot) for the player parents, some alumni and fans if you are interested shoot me an email joe@askinspectorjoe.com and I can get you...

Wow, finally. Been scouring the internet for info for days. That is (some) good news out of this tragedy.
