    Myrtle Beach Bowl Travel/Hotels/Food/Things to Do Recommendations.

    The bartender at Calli Baker’s Firehouse Bar & Grill (Rick) is from CT and a huge UCONN fan. He is pumped to have UCONN fans for the basketball game Saturday night. He is an awesome dude and will quickly become your favorite bartender! Rick is going to the football game as well, so let him...

    Big East may be a 1 bid league

    Nova can be a threat-don't count them out down the stretch or in BE Tourney. Injuries, loss of key players and a new coach contributed to the slow start. They looked like the old Nova for big stretches in win over Oklahoma. I see them getting tougher as the season progresses. Several BE teams...

    San Francisco city tours?

    Napa-two wineries I would highly recommend: (1) Cade - great setting with views and awesome wines. Their Sauvignon Blancs have been excellent (we have ordered cases on several occasions after our visit and have never been dissapointed). (2) Bell -love their Cabernets, especially some of their...

    San Francisco city tours?

    Lots of great options notes already. I will add a couple: (1) bike ride over Golden Gate to Sausalito. Awesome time and only a couple of hills that are manageable. Pretty cool and scenic along waterfront. (2) Walt Disney Museum-though I would only recommend if you have been to SF already…I...

    OT: Congratulations to Newtown

    OT: Guitar question

    I took up the Bass 2 years ago... I started as self taught but then took lessons for a year until work commitments got in the way. As soon as I free up I will take them again as a good teacher will push your limits and help you improve immensely. I would recommend private lessons to start you...

    $17m early buyout agreement per Blauds

    The only spreadsheet that matters is the one residing on David B’s laptop. I’m not sure why many people feel the need to use so much personal time to disprove a move that is happening-but to each his own. I am quite certain that UCONN numbers show that this move makes sense financially. The...

    Should ESPN tell the American to make a football only deal with UConn?

    DB likely has much better relationships with football schools (SEC) and is better positioned to execute an independent schedule than our previous ADs. I think he will get it done, but it will take time...hopefully a combination of 1 for 1, 2 for 1, pay games and combos for basketball matchups...

    Conference changes that took effect on July 1

    Interesting that the Univ. of New Mexico had a Beach Volleyball team, and a ski team! You don’t see that everyday...RIP to those programs. Hate to see it when any school has to drop programs.

    Now who is going to be the DC?

    Like everyone else, I believe that if all goes well, Lashlee is the "heir apparent" when Randy retires. Unless, of course, he does really well and is scoffed up quickly by a major school. We seem to be in a "win now"/"bring the program back to immediate respectability" mode, rather than a 3...

    New Offensive Coordinator! Rhett Lashlee of Auburn

    When do we see an announcement about a football, basketball (extension of current) and baseball series with Auburn? That would be the icing on the cake!

    Uconn could beat Clemson and Alabama

    Not sure how realistic, but a fun site nonetheless. I ran only two scenarios for historical UCONN teams against against the National Championship game participants...both in harsh weather, neutral field and in 0 degrees. The 2010 Huskies toppled the champion Clemson Tigers!!! Danny O's 2003...

    My biggest worry is

    I look forward to a different approach by Randy (which was was effective the 1st time around). There was nothing worse than being down 30-0 at BC and watching Diaco walk out on the field to high five all of his offensive players after a 3 and out series. I am sorry but you have no credibility...

    McMurphy - Edsall "very strong candidate" to return

    People make decisions they ultimately regret all the time-especially professional decisions! "The grass is not always greener on the other side." All he needs to do is own up to the bad decisions he made and show he is committed by saying "my decision to leave the UofC was the biggest mistake...

    The Rent

    BC tailgating? I saw an empty parking garage and about a dozen cars with tailgaters on the nature campus. The hospitality at the fields next to the garage was empty 2.5 hours before game time and other hospitality was all Uconn fans. You can't put Uconn in the same category as the name...

    Nice pants, Bobby.

    Keep an eye out for the new CT Lottery "win for life commercial" which was on earlier tonight during the Red Sox game. I am sure it is a coincidence, but it features a guy wearing a blue shirt with bright red pants, who happens to resemble HCBD. He is dancing and singing "I feel...

    Season ticket holder thank you

    Horrible analogy... Santa giving every boy and girl a present is a thoughtful gesture...but if he limits his gift giving to only 2 per family, then the family with 4 kids is SOL (but that's okay because the value of the present is only $15). Whatever....I am glad to see that people who were...

    Season ticket holder thank you

    I am not one of the habitual complainers that frequents this site. Just pointing out an obvious flaw in thinking here - if you are going to thank the season ticket holders, why not thank them all? The Uconn thank you email says "...as a season ticket holder. For your commitment....we would...

    Season ticket holder thank you

    Okay - who thought it would be a good idea to give only 2 complimentary tickets to the account holder, rather than provider a single complimentary ticket to each paid season ticket within the account? We have 3 season tickets on our account, so now only 2 of us will enjoy the promotional...

    Poll: Testing the 90% theory.

    I think Diaco is the right coach and will continue to improve the program. I know how many wins that translates to for this year or beyond, but I do believe results will come and we will be back to a bowl in the near future. For the record, I am an avid follower of the all Uconn programs...

    UConn MHOC versus BC

    That is the 1st reference I have ever heard as the Golden Eagles (I don't think that is right - it is just "BC Eagles").... ...if that is the case, then someone should tell BC they have the wrong bird...just saying. Who cares...Go HUSKIES!!!

    My Letter To Warde

    Talk about mixing apples and oranges (comparing a no identify Uconn 1st year coach to Edsall and Strong in experienced roles). I do not know if this team has an identify yet (probbaly not), but if the team's under Edsall and Strong had an identity at the midpoint of their 1st year of coaching...

    OT: Another HS FB Player dies from on field hit

    Everyone loves to compare Rugby to football, but in many aspects it is a very different. Not an expert on Rugby or concussions, but I suspect many football concussions are the result of vicious hits on defenseless players (QB sacks, receivers hit by the secondary, special teams play, multiple...

    Improving the GameDay Atmosphere: MORE UCMB PLEASE!!!

    Band is great and would love to hear them more. But, the stadium needs to eliminate the microphones in front of the band as it creates an echo effect across the stadium (whether the stadium is 1/2 filled or filled). It gets annoying after a while as every song sounds like a "musical round."
