Nice. Southern Miss is 2 hours and 7 minute drive from New Orleans.

True, but if you're spending time in New Orleans you won't be in any condition to drive.

 

[UCFBfan]

Ok I need to know….was this the team that all the insiders knew we were going to play?

Southern Miss can be hot even in late September.

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good up on Choctaw ridge......

Southern Miss can be hot even in late September.

In southern MS, oppressive heat and humidity stretches well in to September, or even October dependent on possible tropical storm influences. Sept 19, pretty much guaranteed to be clammy.

True, but if you're spending time in New Orleans you won't be in any condition to drive.

Typically, most Southern Miss games kick off in late afternoon to evening. Whether that helps possible New Orleans visitors is subjective to interpretation, person, etc.

Ignoring NIL era changes, comical suggestions the Golden Eagles should have advantages over UConn based on historic records.

 

[Windham4th]

It's disappointing that Southern Mississippi was the big secret.

Should have saved it for something like starting long snapper announcement

I was a little unnerved by BL’s threatened legal action…but I held tight… 😉

"Do I need to lawyer up?" 🤔

In this era of portal transfers and coach jumping, prior year's results are of little use unless very few players leave the school and the head coach remains. Southern Miss is in a very similar situation as UConn. Their head coach, Charlie Huff left at the end of the season to take the Memphis job. They had 28 players go into the portal with 17 of those following Huff to Memphis. (Sound familiar?) They lost about 30 players to graduation. So, they will have about 60 new players for 2026 playing under a new head coach. One difference is that they promoted their Offensive Coordinator, Blake Anderson, to Head Coach and he's retained much of the staff that was there under Huff. Like Candle, Anderson has head coaching experience (Utah St. and Arkansas St.).

I haven't the slightest clue what the heck you're mad at me for. Honestly.

I made a comment about an observation I made, and you're taking it as my attempt to pit one site against the other?!? What on earth are you talking about???

Full disclosure: if I were the type of person that would pit one set of UConn fans versus another (does that sound like me?), then do you honestly believe that I would go against the group I've been a part of for over a decade??? Really, bro...

How dare are you!!!

I think that he/she in general is frustrated that posters mention the other site and you just got caught in the crosshairs.

Before Utah St fired Anderson in 2024, he racked up 2 wins against UConn:
2022 Huskies L 20-31 at USU;
2023 good guys L 33-34 The Rent.

So should be a pretty good game.

Working together, URL links exist on both the Boneyard and Storrs Central to the other respective site.

Yes I was just using @UConnDan97 comment as an example. I know it’s been removed and rightfully so. Sorry Dan, wasn’t attacking you personally.

No worries, bro. You're one of the good ones. Get ready for another undefeated season, my friend!

This is a schedule that sets up pretty well for another season of 7-9 wins if UConn can put a good product on the field. Three years of sustained success under two different coaching staffs would be legit statement that the program is back on solid footing.
