From a quick look it seems that every AAC team minus Navy only has one BYE. Is that something being done intentionally? Last year we had three and I thought that was the most we'd ever had. I thought we usually had 2. I can dig the one BYE week. Hated having three BYE weeks that always coincided with a disgusting loss.

Against this schedule there is enough talent to win 10 games. We won't come anywhere near that and spend the entire season wondering why.

Gimme Nova and Army or else. I expect losses at BYU and Missouri. The Navy game should tell us the state of the program if we make it that far.

Win those three and a bowl bid becomes a strong possibility. Lose any one of those first two and it's time to rethink the Diaco era.

Holy puck Batman this must be a hockey thing! A season and a half is an era....This when starting from scratch??? We all have opinions I guess....

This season is starting a week later and ending a week earlier. 3 bye weeks suck. I like 1 bye much better.

I'm still not so sure why everyone is so sure we have to beat Nova just because they are FCS. If you rank all of the opponents they are not the worst team.

It's not about beating an FCS team just because they're FCS. It's about UConn finally getting out of their own way and no longer being too perpetually incompetent to win what would otherwise be very winnable games at the very minimum for any other program. We shouldn't be worried about games like Nova and whether or not UConn is even going to show up.
 
Looks like I will have a second opportunity to try to put together a boys weekend to New Orleans to catch UConn play Tulane. Hopefully, 5 years from now, we'll be talking about a bi-annual trip to State College PA and periodic road trips to Ann Arbor, Madison, Minneapolis, etc.

Little known fact for the day. Biannual and semiannual both mean twice a year. Biennial means every 2 years.

Now you, too, can be the guy that corrects people's word choices when they never asked you to. Especially on the internet. :D

When used in the manner above, Internet is a proper noun in order to distinguish it from generic inter-networks (e.g. Dedicated network connecting multiple inter-company office space locations). It is capitalized. :cool:

Lucky for me, if get lucky and score a boys trip to New Orleans, my vocabulary shoudl be limited to 3 letter (rum) and 4 letter words (beer, shot, etc.).:cool:

Sorry, but you got my mistake wrong. I actually meant to say on them internets.
 
It pains me to say this but if we go 5-7 the season will be a success based on our recent history.

It was obvious to the 3 or 4 of us paying attention, that the current AAC television contracts was a forced hand right of first refusal negotiation that ended up with us trading regular national TV exposure on ESPN for pennies on the dollar.

Sooner or later, people around the country are going to start wondering why UCONN is on TV, if we keep sucking balls. Any PR is good PR?

Just hope we can start winning before the current contract is over. That's all the University really has within its control.

Actually it is about beating a 1AA team like any decent FBS team really should. FBS teams typically lose about 5 of these games a year. Usually when it happens it's a huge upset. That it would ever be acceptable is utterly unacceptable me in my mind. You should never ever lose these games. If Diaco can't figure out a way to beat Villanova at home he should just get on the new Fasttrak and go to wherever. Maybe Jakata or Katmandu but not back to Storrs. I can't believe some people don't get that.

I'll bring the Bulleit Rye. Lots of it.

Bulleit is my new gift of choice for retirement gifts, major birthday milestones etc. I have to pick up a bottle I dropped off at an engraving shop tomorrow morning for a friend's retirement.

For a mainstream bourbon or whiskey it's good stuff.
