When I saw the all blue FIU tweeter video firs that came to mind was "well, all white seems like an obvious choice for contrasting uniform".

Sounds awesome, especially for Husky fans in S. FL. I'd personally like to see more games scheduled in the TX, OK, AR, LA area, mainly because of where I live now. The Huskies travel to Rice in Houston next year which is good, but there's no history there. What about an OK, Baylor or a SMU/Lashlee rematch sometime in the near future, too? I know I'm probably speaking to a select few on the BY, but I think any of those could be the beginning a good rivalry game, and in fertile recruiting areas and with less travel than further west.

A nice, clear-eyed write up from an FIU site

If you scroll down in this article, there's a picture of the O line in FIU's locker room. Take a look at that locker room...unbelievable that it's an FBS program. My small time high school had a nicer locker room than FIU. It legit looks like a jail.

Their old coach said they (FIU) were sabotaging the program. When he came he had to acquire 5 year old pads from Miss St because the ones they had were over a decade old and useless, they had no budget for going on the road to recruit, their uniforms were 9 years old, all sorts of crazy things.

Dynasty Brewing as Dan O. has declared.

No one associated with UConn can think like that. Not the staff, fans, or players. Better to put those thoughts out of mind until after next season.

I am sure this was tongue in cheek comment by Dan O. Certainly, nothing the team should ever consider. But fun for a fan like me.

Anyone coming to Florida should know the weather is glorious here. As awful and destructive as Hurricane Ian was, it blew away the worst of the heat and humidity. Temps have been low 80’s with low humidity.

If the below pic is the FIU lockeroom I can only imagine what they have for the visiting team.

Love <3 the retro husky

Yup, me too. The fearsome Jonathan just looked like such a fake, especially when UConn was in their 15th in a row one win season. Yeah, it might have been less than 15, but it sure felt like 15.

they're wearing white uniforms so it's on the road. They wore this uniform combo for Texas State and New Mexico State.
