I saw the mascot doing this with the team at the end of the game. It was the best. Now seeing the video it reminds me of the advertisement with the hitch hiker who is a corn hole prodigy. Hey! Hey! Hey!. Great to see some real joy for the team.

Gr8 time at the Rent today. Best home win since Houston 2015. Good to hang with FfldCntyFan (thanks for tickets & tailgate) and ElGuapo. Game still would have been the highlight of the day even if I had hit Powerball...

My name is Kolumbo and I am a UCONN-beat-BCU-holic. They last played in 2017 at fenway and UCONN lost 39-16. this was bcu's first trip to The Rent. I don't care how bad a year bcu from the acc is having. UCONN held bcu to 3 points. a field goal!!

I looked at bcu's roster and they have about 15 kids from Mass, 2 from CT. I think HC Jim Mora is going to strike gold on the recruiting trail. He's lighting it up and making news. It's one thing to make a splash as a coach, but to be Jim Mora and make a splash a UCONN, this type of news is going to help recruiting big time. And promote UCONN. HCJM is going to bring big tie talent to Storrs, there is no question.

Very drunk but if I don't play this card now I may never have another chance.

Yup, if we get 6 wins and become bowl eligible the sky will be the limit for this recruiting class. It's already off to a terrific start.

The loss was the first for BC against a team from New England since 1978.

Under the “Miserable but not miserable enough” category:

-> Boston College: No matter how bad things get, Boston College should always be able to say "At least we aren’t UConn!" But despite their ACC membership and a much healthier recent history, the Eagles suffered the indignity of a 13-3 loss in the renewal of an old Big East rivalry. Boston College lost because it turned the ball over five times, which is the immediate story. The larger issue is that the Eagles are 2-6 and tailspinning toward 2012 territory when Frank Spaziani went 2-10 and got fired. <-

The fact that this is considered a huge win says a lot about how far the team has fallen. The face that they won, says more about how far they have come. Decent crowd which I am sure was helped by BC being close by. Nice step in the right direction. Good to see these kids get to taste some success. Last year this was probably a 37 to 13 loss against this same BC team.

Just to throw another log onto the pyre underneath the Thunderchicken spit, Any chance that the denizens of 'Nut Hill make this week's Bottom 10? It would SO ironic

Honestly, I was totally underwhelmed by the number of BC fans at the game.
