Once a Husky, always a Husky. RIP Burr Carlson.

Your answer lies in your question.Why can't more of the kids' mixtapes these days have soundtracks like this one?
Thoughts and prayers to his family. He had an unsuccessful two year stint as HC in the late 1960's, largely because the school administration wouldn't let him recruit marginal qualifiers. Despite records of 11-13 and 5-19, Carlson really had Syracuse's number. His 67-68 team beat them 89-84 at Manley FH, and his 5-19 team in 68-69 trounced them 103-84 at the Field House.
RIP Burr...always a Husky.
That has always been an issue with Chief - why exclude the marginal qualifiers?
At that time, Yalies , who controlled the state legislature, said that the school should put more focus on academics, less on athletics. This, while the campus was deteriorating due to lack of state funding.
Earlier, at an Aetna Men's Club Banquet, coach Shabel told my uncle that UConn was threatened with the loss of funding if football was moved up to the level of BCU, Syracuse, etc. as planned. So Forzano, Rutigliano, and Holtz were forced out.
Yale's desire to remain the state's dominant football program was the reason. Academics was the excuse.
I met Coach Carlson during an event to thank major donors, a few days before the Gampel opening against St John's. Great guy who loved UConn.
