Dom Amore: UConn football masters the moments and savors a season-making win over Duke

-> “I’m not much of a statement guy,” Mora said. “I believe every week is its own entity. If you say that was a ‘statement game,’ you set yourself up a little bit for disappointment.”

Mora’s team made the statement, and we can all interpret it our own way, so I’ll take a crack. This was neither a Group of Six, nor a downtrodden Power 4 opponent, but a Duke team that is 4-1 in the ACC, and UConn’s win screams it could belong in that conference. Whether the long-range financial aspects, which is all that drives conference realignment, not grudges or hurt feelings, would work is another conversation. But now that UConn has wins over North Carolina at the Fenway Bowl, Boston College on the road, Duke at home and an OT loss at Syracuse within the last calendar year, it cannot be denied that Mora has brought the football program up to that level. <-

Look at Duke’s remaining ACC schedule and the fact that UVA’s QB got hurt last night. There is every possibility that Duke runs the table and gets to the ACC Championship game.

The Clemson website is hilarious seriously talking about a chance that no representative from ACC makes it if say for example Duke wins championship game since the 5 highest rated conference champions get the automatic bids and there is a chance two G5 conference champions end up higher rated than ACC champion.

The ACC is in a really tough spot

I don’t trust Amore. He never misses an opportunity to take subtle shots at the program…Again in his wisdom there were not 38,000 at the game. Not 35,000 or 32,000 but “about 30,000”. Same thing he did with Central. And you can bet if we get an offer from the ACC or B12, Amore will be writing something questioning whether we’d be better off staying in the NBE.

Literally in the article

"In the ACC, it could be like this nearly every week. UConn would reverse the conference’s faded men’s basketball brand, put its women’s basketball back on the national map, and would be competitive, viable in football."

That’s now. If it happens he’ll find a way to oppose it.

Literally making things up to be mad about. Just enjoy the win
