Every game counts this year (literally)

so I put up $100 and if uconn goes 11-1 I get $1000. that is 10:1 odds. You claimed uconn was 2,000:1. That is quite a drastic swing in odds. It went from me putting up $100 to win $200,000 to winning $1000. In other words, I would go from being able to bet 50 cents to win $1000 on a long shot to betting $100 on that same long shot for the same payout. Interesting, but I'll pass.

I'll give you the 2000:1 odds.

Name your amount.

UConn trailed UCF 55-10 at the end of the third quarter. They got outgained 527-233, which is better on paper than it was in reality, and UCF went 8-13 on third down conversions...

but jeeze if they just played a little better... that one could have been a win.

UCF won a BCS game. UConn got blown out by Towson, Maryland, Buffalo,Louisville, SMU, UCF and Cincinnati.

2013 UConn/Cincinnati might be the least memorable game in program history. UConn lost by 25, I watched the game and literally don't remember a single thing about it.

The cincy game, like pretty much every other game was over by the 2nd quarter. Last year's team folded like cheap house of cards at any adversity. They gave every appearance of essentially haven given up on the game(s) as soon as they started from the defensive breakdowns and Whitmer INT in the 4th quarter of the Michigan game, until the 2nd half of the temple game.

The game is a mental battle of wills, and we were not mentally strong last year. We were pathetic. We finished strong, and Diaco's major battle, which he freely acknowledged and openly talked about, and probably didn't realize how much of a task it was going to be - was to rebuild this program's winning mentality.

How far he's been able to go with that, and how well the players themselves actually respond to adversity will go a long way as to whether or not we are bowling after the 2014 seasons.

I just want to go 1-0 on August 29. We either will or we won't. Sooner or later, we'll have a week where we go 0-1, and how we respond to that, is going to be the best determination of what direction the program is headed under DIaco. The rest of this gambling stuff doesn't concern me.
