    Reality vs fear

    This has been a crazy and awesome run since I came to Storrs as a freshman in 1988. Been an incredible stretch. We are fine in the near term, but when my kids are my age I don't think we will be successful without being with the "in" group. And we all know who that is. I think if you don't...

    Dual Championship Hopes Alive

    Very happy we won. I was impressed with the USC freshman. She was a little rushed at times particularly in crunch time but i think you will see her really upping her game with a little more experience at this level. She also has the size and athleticism to become the best player in the sport...

    Matthew Wood to the Portal

    The biggest issue was what was pointed out above. These kids do not make decisions to leave without their NHL team endorsing it at a minimum but more likely requesting they do it. Add to that our special teams have been awful for 10 years. Our in zone defense and breakouts have been awful...

    Matthew Wood to the Portal

    Besides the one season and trip to the finals for Hockey East what exactly has Cav done to continue to lead this program for this long. Sustained mediocrity should not be the goal for the program.

    Marquette

    That was an awful game. NC state played poorly too. It seriously looked like Marquette was hung over.

    The night lights went on - pics from 1989

    As college football's elite is engulfed in a power struggle, G5 left just trying to survive: 'We are a farm system'(Ross Dellenger @ Yahoo)

    The horses are out of the barn on this. With some of these big schools (or those like Florida state who think they are the greatest) they wont be happy until they have a league of 12 sharing all the revenues. Better yet 6 schools with two teams each. I have stopped worrying about it and will...

    UConn MHOC 23-24

    We are going to end up 8-9 (at best) in league which means a tough road to the Garden. All year something has just been "off" with this team.

    UConn v. #12 UMass Minuteman (Friday 2/9/24 @7p @Toscano Family Ice Forum & Saturday 2/10/24 @Mullins Center @7p). Both games are on ESPN+/NESN (Sat.)

    Team continues to be a tough watch. I love them but dont like them. We have a lot of good parts but sum if parts way more than the total. Thats coaching. I cant support Cav anymore.

    Tyson Brown - New Director of Football Strength & Conditioning.

    I think it would be interesting to hear him respond in a truthful way and here his thoughts on what we look like and how we perform compared to the guys at his last job. I know it will never happen but that intrigues me.

    Roumoglou

    He was a total chucker last year. This year he looks legit when out there and unselfish. Great to see from The 9th guy off bench.

    UConn v. #7 Maine Black Bears @ XL Center (Friday 1/12/24 @7p & Saturday 1/13/24 @3p). Both games on ESPN+

    This team is so frustrating. The continued pattern under Cav. We are mediocre, at best. I do agree we seem to get the wrong end of the whistle but we never overcome adversity. Who is surprised we gave up immediate game tying goal after that call? The SH goal was inexcusable. Love Bradley...

    Chief’s Briefs - SH / Big East Refs Edition

    We played very poorly across the board basically. The team was out “toughed” which i never expect. Its one game though. Need a bounce back. As to the refs it is an awful situation and pattern that continues every game. I understand I am not objective but its hard to not see the pattern...

    UConn needs to step up from 3

    The three point percentage has been a little disappointing but I still have confidence when they go up. Plus we rebound a large percent of missed shots anyway.

    Hot Take: We will repeat with back to back titles this season.

    Best Uconn passing team I have seen. Really fun to root for with unselfish play. And many different answers. I like our chances.

    JMU did it. Why not us?

    Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner. People can not see it but it will happen. I love every sport because its my school and I want us to succeed at everything we do. But in the long term the continued sh.. show in football will bury all sports including hoops.

    He is great. Plays a very smart game and if there is a big shot I have no doubt it goes in.

    UConn v. UMass-Lowell RiverHawks (Friday 10/27/23 @7:15p @Tsongas Center & Saturday 10/28/23 @4p @XL Center). Both games on ESPN+

    Someone mentioned earlier how much we miss tverberg. That is so true. He would have helped immensely. That said the PP failures are a big reason we feel like the goal scoring is dreadful and that is a systemic and consistent issue for years and drives me insane. Also Wood better start...

    BC Post Game Thread

    I thought the team really fought hard yesterday. Some hot takes based on watching and reading this thread: There is no defending trying the FG. Made zero sense. Was livid watching the Fg team trot on field Although the offense contributes to TOP difference it really is about the defense...

    BC Post Game Thread

    The thing that is infuriating is we had a legit chance to win. However the fact we cant get off field on 3rd down and peculiar coaching decisions coupled with bad penalties and dropped passed leads to losing. Bad teams find ways to lose even when playing good.

    UConn v. UMass-Lowell RiverHawks (Friday 10/27/23 @7:15p @Tsongas Center & Saturday 10/28/23 @4p @XL Center). Both games on ESPN+

    That was a good win. We need to back it ip tomorrow. Still alarming the lack of scoring and pathetic power play. Cant wait for tomorrow.

    UConn v. Union Garnet Chargers @Messa Rink, Schenectady NY (Friday 10/20/22 @7p & Saturday 10/21/23 @4p). Both games on ESPN+.

    I don’t know. I hope this is correct. The issue is against teams we should handle their appears to be no sense of urgency and I am not sure there is a whole lot of firepower on offense. Defense continues to make dumb plays. We are going on about 8 years of a terrible power play. I hate to...

    Jim Mora

    At this point since I have calmed down a bit since Saturday I still believe in Mora. The one thing that really irks me though is the first part of the game Saturday. You are coming off a beatdown on the road and if ever you needed a win it was that game. The first two defensive drives may...

    Giants or Huskies?

    I was 8 years old. My favorite thing was to watch Giant games with my dad. I thought game was over and went into bathroom. Finished quickly but when I returned to the TV he matter of factly said they just lost. That stretch from 1968-1979 must have been brutal for him. That play was the...

    Giants or Huskies?

    I thought the only way i could move past Uconn was with the Giants. Gained excitement all day, had a couple cocktails around 7:30. Was very happy with the way the game opened and then it may have been the worst performance I have ever witnessed subsequent to the penalty you referenced. What a...

    Negativity and the best fans in the country

    I legitimately lost my last night. I was over the top and my family was appalled with how i reacted watching the game. I try to be rational but that was hard to watch and not think about our recent past. I felt like we were beyond these types of games particularly after in my mind not...
