Whenever someone constantly tells you how honest they are... you can take it to the bank they lie constantly.

I guess if you want to debate the definition of constantly you can. Regardless the point stands without that word.

I wonder if the majority of college coaches going into recruits' living rooms and talk about honesty during the recruiting process.

Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of issues with BD's postgame interviews last season especially in the second half of the season. And it's entirely possible, perhaps likely, that the team is still not going to win "enough" next season, "enough" being, let's say, 7 games. But leaving that aside, I'll ask what what your take is so as not to put words in your mouth. When the coach said "But now it's time to start winning. And I mean that honestly" are you interpreting this to mean that he isn't valuing winning games, and that he spontaneously decided to blurt out "it's time to start winning" because... what? ... he constantly lies?

"I've been honest for 12 months since I got here. I've been honest for 12 months."

Only commenting on the very specific point - when someone goes out of their way to tell you how honest they are... they aren't.

You believe he's been honest for 12 months. Good for you I guess.

Ask me a question I'm honest:

"Coach Bob Diaco wouldn't confirm or deny Foley's status, but he did say that that part of the game underachieved."

Bob never said "winning football games". We all know how the team wins at nutrition, etc., etc.,.

Wasn't he speaking about next season?
 
"But now it's time to start winning"

I wonder if Matt S. is ready to apologize for besmirching all of us who questioned wether or not winning games was the goal last year.

Because the evidence is as cleared ever, he wasn't.

I'm glad he doesn't expect any of the true freshman to play. That means we've made some progress.

The article that UConn fans had unrealistic expectations remains unquestionably the most idiotic thing I've read about the program ever.

Why should we expect to beat SMU? It's not like everyone else they played beat them.

I still can't get over that game.

Not sure what was more impressive, our sheer ineptitude or the fact that these SMU kids at 0-11, came to a rainy, cold East Hartford December Saturday, down at halftime, and didn't go in the tank and beat our a $$ in the 2nd half.

One last kick in the groin was SMU failing to execute the Victory formation at our own 10 yard line because they never ran it. Fitting end to the season.

That really was such a fitting end to the season.

I fully admitted on here that I said F it and didn't go to game, but my old man was one of scattered dozens in the stands to see it.

With a 2.5 hour drive to NJ to look forward to afterwards.

We were walking the concourse on the way out when my son kept telling me "Dad, it's not over, they keep getting penalties."

I decided he was better off not understanding what was really going on.

That scene was too rough for children. You made the right call.
