Fagnano and Bell are out for the Wasabi Bowl

[Jetskies]

(note scribble sound effect)

Joe,

stop pretending you're going to make it to the NFL ... your pro fate will be identical whether you play or don't.
So - join skyler and Cam and end this charade.
no one will ever love you MORE during a game than Uconn will on that day.

so stop.
just play and end it right.

love,
a sad jets + huskies fan

Skyler is built different. He arguably has the least to gain by playing and yet, here he is. Others should take note about what leadership looks like.

If im an nfl team that would make me want Skyler even more a true leader who isn't jaded by money or any kind of success.

 

[BugsyCT]

Now all the more a UConn legend.

Just watched his SC interview on YouTube. Should be required viewing for any college football player. What a legend.

Couldn't agree anymore, this should be a national story in the media.

One thought about Evers (if he's not playing) and any other portal entering players who are thinking about not playing. What school is going to give you the money you want to play for them next year if you're advertising that if they sign you they can't count on you playing in a bowl game next year because you wouldn't do it for the guy who is paying you this year?

Evers is not even in the program anymore.

Same reason why LSU gave Lane Kiffin that big contract right even with all his baggage and having to pay Brian Kelly his huge buyout. The schools don't care, as long as there is the possibility of you helping them win, they will roll the dice.

I heard what you're saying BL but it sounds like this season's starting offensive tackles have already found their new homes. It wouldn't surprise me if they were instructed not to risk injury by those schools.

Bingo!

I didn't say they still couldn't get more money -- just that it wouldn't affect what they get. If you're about to pay someone money, you really think you don't care whether or not you can count on them to not quit on you in the middle of the season?

Same answer I gave How Sway. If everything you suppose is true, which it could be, you really think the amount they are getting isn't affected by the risk they will treat their new club the same way? Everything else being equal, who wouldn't pay more for a player that you can count on to honor their commitment than one you couldn't?

IF non-CFP bowls don't matter, like many people here and elsewhere seem to think, then opting out of a bowl at Current University should not at all effect the way that Other State University looks at Joe Ioptedout

With Cam and Skyler playing I’m heading to Fenway

It's never too late

Everyone who can should go. Win or lose it still should be a fun experience.

 

[Coach J]

Evers is not even in the program anymore.

So is Evers is gone, Tucker is hurt, and Joe is out. Are we actually rolling with 1 QB? If he gets hurt so we revert to wildcat with Terrence Smith?

And as far as Evers, leaving the program, it kind of doesn't make sense unless he was planning to follow Mora to Colorado State. I mean he's all but guaranteed the starting job next year and it's not like someone would go and offer him more money because he hasn't been able to show anything really on the field yet.

I was gonna go anyways but with the news of Bell playing it immediately had me get a jump on getting tickets.

 

[Chosen]

How come Skyler didnt give a definent answer if he is going to play in the bowl game? I hope you have a great NFL career Skyler.

No chance Evers was all but guaranteed the job with a new coach coming in. Hopefully, Candle has a plan for an experienced QB to go along with Polston.

Disagree. He's not Candle's 'guy', and when a coach has the opportunity to come into a program tabula raza they usually want 'their' guy at QB.

It will either be the freshman who followed Candle to UCONN or a transfer; my money's on the latter.

IMO Evers should drop down to FCS. He threw 5 picks in 180 attempts before Fagnano took over in '24. From that point forward Joe threw five picks in two seasons.
