The Jungle?What prison area is within a mile of the Storrs campus?
No comparisons. I hate + games. Only issue is the TV timeouts drag on forever but still much better to watch on cbssn.On a side note…CBSSN continues to be much better than ESPN+. They weren’t perfect, but at least it felt like a professional operation.
Isn't that a protected historical site? That's why nobody can touch it with a 10 foot pole with all the expense that would go into restoring the buildings.He’s talking about Depot Campus aka Mansfield Prison aka Mansfield Training School

I agree. There must have been a LOT of people tailgating during the game.There are a certain amount of people who just come to homecoming to meet up with old classmates.
Agreed this is an attempt at some drama where there is none.I guess I missed the “Fagnano should be benched” comments. Or was that in the chat in prior games?
On here I have only seen people questioning his accuracy at times…but I don’t remember the “bench Joe” posts on here.
Oh..and it says something about this board when the team has a great win and some posters use this as a time to tell other posters to shut up.
Can’t we just enjoy the win?
Here we goIf we ever get into a major conference and have some staying power I guarantee we end up with an "on campus" stadium. It might not be right in the middle of campus but it'll be within a mile (like the prison area)
What I saw was flawless execution a team who meant all business for 60 minutes. Making it a point to end it early then finish the job with the backups and 3rd stringers going into the bye.
Playing like a team that was pissed off from the 2 OT losses, and even the 2 games we won against Ball State and Bufffalo. We all needed that kind of game the fanbase needed it and the team neeed it.
FIU isn't good but they are not horribly horrible. Let's get guys as healthy possible going into the bye but stay sharpe and don't lose your edge. Don't let the bye take us out of it.
That and it's haunted.
Haven't seen this elsewhere in this thread but looks like the kid from FIU with the scary injury is in the hospital in stable condition.
Much better this week by a bunch. The ball was distributed much better. The wideout screen was used sparingly rather than as a staple. There was more intermediate pass routes in play. Still runs sweeps into the short side of the field with regularity which makes me nuts.Of all 3 coaches today, I’ve been impressed on how Sammie continues to to put our players in position to succeed, even rewarding certain players with play calls and opportunities to make memories on offense
Opening kickoff... FIU kid basically got run through. Long delay before he got carted off straight to a hospital.What I want to know is where did it happen and how. Did anyone see it? For that matter what happened?
Agreed. If the week off doesn't slow their momentum. Never like that week off just when you start to hit your stride.The team that played yesterday has a good shot at beating BC at Alumni and a decent shot at Duke at home.
Being very physical out the gate at BC might just cause them to fold their tent given the season they are having.
Oh, I very much agree!! The first thing I said was who the heck is that? Followed by Holy Smokes!!ALSO, Loved to see the FROSH from Virginia. He looked electric - the future may be here - we’ll see!
That you use to PO Jim Calhoun the most when he watched the games at Memorial.I think we can all agree we appreciated the number of times the defense didn't give up a score or a long drive after a UConn score.
No surprise with a fair number of non-football fans tailgating on a supposed Homecoming inconveniently occurring at an off-campus stadium. Is what it is, many also wouldn’t go into an on campus stadium.My impression walking in was there there was a massive tailgate turnout because of the weather but a fair portion didn't bother with the game because the weather was so nice.
Large area of land. IMHO, there’s NFW a prospective stadium developed on land near the ex-Mansfield Training Facility buildings would incorporate buildings unoccupied for decades. IIRC, all are decaying structures and some are rife with asbestos.Isn't that a protected historical site? That's why nobody can touch it with a 10 foot pole with all the expense that would go into restoring the buildings.
