His not naming Edsall really didn't bother me. I would have been thrilled if he also left out Diaco and P.I saw that video on SC earlier today and commented that he mentioned a bunch of coaches but failed to bring up Edsall. Still, it was cool to have him list off all the players we sent to the NFL, really a good promo video that yes, you can do football at UConn too!

I know that and fully understand. I just would have preferred it if cranberry pants and P were given the same treatment.That ought to tell you about how Edsall is regarded.
Skip Holtz and Shane Stafford made the cut but he didn’t.
I believe it was said he was one of the first people to do this and when he was at ToledoThis gear is leftover team merch from the last 2 seasons. I personally have a couple of those items lol. In terms of cost this cost $0 it was already on hand, the team gets new Nike merch every season in the summertime.
Awesome publicity very smart move from Candle + Co.
Diaco has had a good career. Crazy works well for a lot of coaches. Unfortunately, Diaco was not meant to be a head coach, he’s clearly a sideshow. No one will make that mistake again.The praise for Candle was awesome to hear. I can’t believe he mentioned Crazy Diaco but didn’t mention Edsall who put this team on the map. I was blown away with some of the names he started throwing out there! I thought he was going to omit Danny O too! lol! I forgot how good Branch played for Raiders. Really great PR for UConn!
He definitely had a white board off camera with notes. No way he knew one of our colors is "National Flag" blue. That's deep fan knowledge.If he recalled all those names cold w/o studying, I'm impressed.
That was like a grand worth of stuff at UConn retail prices.
He knows more about UConn football than 75% of the posters on this board!He definitely had a white board off camera with notes. No way he knew one of our colors is "National Flag" blue. That's deep fan knowledge.
No white board. No notes.He definitely had a white board off camera with notes. No way he knew one of our colors is "National Flag" blue. That's deep fan knowledge.
Also Robert Hunter, spent a semester or two in Storrs. Cowrote with Jerrry Garcia for the Grateful Dead.How could he leave Moby and Ron Palillo off the list of famous people that spent 1 or more semesters at UConn? Nobody puts Horshack in a corner.
i've always wanted the gray dry fit t shirts the football players wear in offseason, with the navy husky logo and nothing else. maybe the word "football" underneath, that'd be fine too but idc about it.UConn needs to sell those boxes as a way to raise NIL $$$. I'd jump at the chance to get that Connecticut Football merch!
