David Pindell does not grip the football laces. Why? "Ever since I've been throwing the ball, I just get a better grip - a better ball, better spiral - that way," he said. "I'm just more comfortable. A lot of people find it weird, but that's one thing that is unique about me."

Junior Joseph on BC: "They have no respect for us. We just have to go out and the play the best we can play to get respect. If we do that, we should get the outcome we want. Yeah, it annoys me but it is what it is. To earn respect we have to go get a win."

UConn Game Notes for Boston College

 

[RSTuthill]

Hope that the Huskies' OL is ready for some of the stuff that Pasqualoni's DL will throw at them.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Whose left of PP guys? Bloom, Myers, Foley(?) Summers, Carrezola?

 

[BlueDogs]

I couldn't imagine a worse HC than PP/GDL then came Diastero. But, I still have a burning dislike for that hat and adding BC to this mix adds up to a perfect grudge game.

 

[Hamms30]

We could have gone 1-11 this year and as long as this is the 1.. I'm a happy Husky

Sounds like New London is now Eagle Country. We have to get the local kids to be successful. We have a major image problem from reading this interview. I don’t know why he chose BC when we have put so many players into the NFL.

I don't see the image problem. The kid went out of state and got sucked into the Mass. sphere of influence.

Outside of the reality of the P5/G5 differentiation - We had a major image problem - he’s now in Nebraska. He flipped to BC from Michigan when Diaco was Coach.

NE Football is a BC Troll. If you don’t believe me - check with @UConnDan97

Confirmed.

Please stop feeding the trolls, folks...

Weekly Kickoff: UConn At Fenway Park

"It’s been a tough year for Randy Edsall and his Huskies who have amassed a stellar 3-7 record, which given their recent history is a giant step in the right direction. They are 93rd in the country in scoring, and 129th in defense which shows how well balanced this team is."

The comments at the bottom are a good read.

Lol it must bother BC fans that they cant even get a home game in their own city. UConn is the home team and wasnt Notre Dame the home team when they played at Fenway a couple years back too?

My favorite quote is this:
"Should be steady doses of Hilliman and Richard Wilson all second half. But this game should be won by the defense. I can’t find a reason UConn should score over 7 points this game…."

So, Uconn gives up a true home game for $1 million and BC gets to take a 2 mile bus ride to an away game. BC does it twice and loses no home game to either Uconn or ND in return. Uconn played at BC last year and ND played there this year. No travel costs, BC fans get an extra game to see 2 miles from their normal stadium and they can do it cheaper than any other away game this year (check out how low prices have dropped on StubHub for seats between the 30's on the Uconn side of the field). How is this a LOL at BC? They lose nothing for playing at Fenway. They probably gained on a net basis.

Because no one is paying BCU $1.1M for the fan to show up at Fenway. (I hear he's busy this weekend anyway.)

BINGO.

this is great! Selling UConn gear in Boston's territory?! awesome. Not only is UConn in NYC, but we are now creeping into Boston!

uhhhhh where from that interview did you get that we had an image problem? do you have a vision problem? we obviously did not read the same article.

in all fairness the game was first offered to bc first and they turned it down.

That's because they don't need the extra $$$.
