Bowl Game Post Game Thread

[UCan3]

This win will be look great for years to come. Like w/ games we lost (close ones to ACC) it is the “W” or “L” that matters - this game mattered today - huge W for us!

 

[Bomber36]

And deserved to be thanked in person!

No doubt!

Man, losing to UConn will be a new low for Tar Heels.

Well, now maybe they offer us membership in ACC. We beat their cornerstone program in basketball and now football. Membership offer now or drop BC and let the Huskies take their place.

Portal give this time of year new meaning. Portal talent sees a dominating win and an extension for the coach. Great win!!

Need to land a passing QB. A must.

UNC has a nice little team. Not as strong as UConn.

Do they know how to ref basketball?

They can’t do any worse than the ACC slugs that have been reffing our games.

Where is BL and FfCtyFan?

I was going to comment in the game chat that I thought the refs did a great job today. They did.

I kept thinking it would be great if we could have this crew for every game against the ACC.

I think today showed what life might look like with an impartial ref crew.

We only got a fair shake IMO vs the AAC this year - which I appreciated - props to that conference!

It was nice to know no one was looking to stick a fork in us in the 2nd half….

Need to land a passing QB. A must.

No argument there, it is a necessity.

 

[Stinger92860]

Well how about that? Was hoping for more scoring in the 2nd half, but a 9 win season - well done! Super happy for the team and for the fans!! Proud of the team!!!

Enjoyed the comment early in the 2nd half from one of the announcers - "a pair of blue blood basketball schools going at it on the football field", or something like that...

Who was the other blue blood basketball school?

Yes, Joe F. was good enough for us to open up the run game - especially the 1st half.

Evers showed why he comes off the bench - I think his role could be similar next year.

We need to have a passing attack, agreed!

Cole Welliver - would love to see him get a shot.

Financially it may be too costly to “drop” BC or any team. Not sure what their rules are though.

Locked on UConn finally admitted UConn did well

Touchdown is totally right!

"For years, UConn has been overlooked in college football, but under Mora's leadership, the program has emerged as a legitimate program, building something special."

I'll be curious to see how Wasabi did in attendance and TV ratings against Pinstripe Bowl.

I have serious personal reasons to be very happy that UCONN football ended this season on a very good and positive note. If the men’s BB team is at least competitive e.g. makes it to the final four this year that will make my UCONNuear.

Finally got a chance to write. What a game! The Huskies stomped the Tar outta those Heels! Simply dominant, no other way to say it. I think we played the clock game in the second half- UNC found a little burst but they were simply outmatched overall. Could have been way worse for the Heels.

Someone on the Yard theorized that Belichick’s absence today was because he knew what was about to happen. I think that theory was accurate. What a win for this program and for the fans that have been waiting almost a decade and a half to return to our old glory. Go Huskies!! Can’t wait for 2025!!

In person, really amazing experience. Was dubious about fenway as a football venue, totally wrong about it. Atmosphere and crowd was great. Would recommend that we get a tie in contract with fenway going forward as I doubt we can find a better bowl spot for us.

We will do better than Fenway

 

[CTBasketball]

What a day.

Beer stands were running out. UConn nation showed up in multiple ways !

Pinstripe - 30,062
Wasabi - 27,900 (looked like more)
