You are indeed a fanboy.

I saw him throw incomplete to a double covered receiver, and in his line of sight was another UConn receiver wide open underneath with no defender between him and the goal line. I could not believe it. My eyesight is quite OK, thank you.

You know, I saw Tom Brady throw an interception. Bad pass to a covered receiver. I couldn’t believe it. Worst thing was Welker was free over the middle. Just goes to show it happens even to the great quarterbacks.

I can’t believe people are bitching about a guy who has a 65% completion rate, over 1000 yards, 7 touchdowns with 0 interceptions. And he ran for 65 yards last week. Some of you guys would probably complain if Josh Allen was our starter. Who do you want as our starter?

Baker Mayfield 😉

UConn is G5, or G6? I saw another ranking which did no include UConn and wasn't sure if they didn't consider UConn G5 or just didn't make the cut. regardless, UConn needs to get into the top 10 regularly and should move up this season

I mentally cheat with these kind of rankings all the time, because in reality they don’t matter all that much and then I always end up on top. If we are included, “Great! UConn getting the love it deserves!”, if not, “Well UConn is an independent and functions like a P4 so they probably were not considered.”

 

[Coult]

Does this really matter? Ehhh, but what’s sport without a little extra to play for and some superstition. In Mora’s 3 previous Cancer Awareness games:

2022 v. Fresno State: 19-14 W
2023 v. USF: 24-21 L (sends shivers down my spine remembering this game)
2024 v. Temple: 29-20 W

So 3/3 on pretty heart testing games, not sure if that is indicative of this game theme specifically or just UConn football as a whole as we’ve seen all this year. Nonetheless get a win by any means necessary.

It would depend on how highly rated they were coming out of high school.

This is great! I was curious how this works, whether UConn is a sponsor or Nick is just a huge UConn fan. Now if the NCAA would sponsor racing!

2nd week in a row we face a team with a pretty "TEMU" logo.
Husky head remains not my favorite, but it sure beats the heck of that super mario Goomba that FIU uses.

-> “I don’t know that there’s a player in our locker room or a person in our organization, or anyone on this campus, that has not been affected by cancer,” coach Jim Mora said. “It’s just an added motivation to go out and play with a certain spirit that honors those people that have had to go through the trials and tribulations in the fight against cancer. Our guys, it really means something. It’s not just, ‘Oh, hey, there’s a cool ribbon on our helmet.’ That ribbon represents someone in our life that we love, that we either lost, or is fighting or has fought and won. Our guys take it very seriously and they should, that’s why we do <-

FIU's results after 4 games. They were down only 10-0 at Penn St at halftime. They could give us a tough game. We thought Ball State was one of the worst FBS teams this season and the D couldn't put them away.

It really depends on which UConn team shows up.

Looks like they know how to put points up. I hope our D makes for a less interesting day than the last few.

Our defense can make a team look like a superbowl contender.

UCONN is regularly left out of these “standings” b/c we are NOT G5 or G6. We are independent and not a part of the G5/G6 category (according to the PTB). ☹️

After last season I think many UConn fans were thinking we could go on a roll but replacing 9 defensive starters and both tackles on offense is not easy. We won quite a few close games last year and that hopefully will be the case this season going forward. "We play to win the game". HCJM gave us a chance to play this week coming off a win when he used our timeouts as the Bulls went in to tie the game. A big crowd and a confident team this week that wins the game is all we can ask for.

 

[Jimdish255]

Going to agree with Cam. Joe looked like a runner on a couple of those plays. Still need to be smart but if the field is open ahead take the 5 or 10 yards.

it's literally already a uniform thread - blame Jim Mora and his cancer helmets, if you dare come out against cancer awareness.

 

[LetsGoUC]

I have a gut feeling we dominate this one and win big. Let's hope!!

um…its the game week thread..not literally only about cancer awareness helmets. There is another “wear pink” thread where you can talk about the merits of the block C versus the dog or one of the other myriad of theads about what the football team wears in games.
