That logo should be at the 50. Or somewhere on the field.

When AD Dave asked for ideas for the field logo, I suggested putting the Jonathan logo (current version) at the center of the field with an outline of the state around it. Still like that but this would be a close second.
 
It took a little convincing but my Pastor has given me permission to miss Sunday service because I told him I was sure Jesus would be in the huddle.

He had no advice on whether to take or give the points. ;)
 
*** Heads Up ***

>>New This Week - In an effort to enhance security, walk-through metal detectors will be in use at all stadium entrances. Fans should expect delays and longer lines due to the new procedure.<<

Good week for trial run based on expected crowd size I guess but...

Interesting development w/ Nick Zecchino being out again. He took the spring semester off for health reasons. Wishes for a quick/complete recovery.

That definitely stood out... hope he’s ok.

Called Swenson would get a starting spot this year. Kid can ball

I hope so. We need a play maker at DB desperately. Hopefully he can blow things up against ECU.

I thought that this was the most interesting change.
 
Losing Zecchino stings. Looked like RE didn't have much trust in Keating last week, given that we didn't attempt an FG or an XP all game. Hoping things are okay there.

Edsall said Watkins is the only Husky likely to be out of action due to injury this week.

Also from the UConn Game Day Central site:

PROMOTIONS:
  • Randy Edsall Bobblehead Giveaway
    • Bobbleheads will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis upon entry to all stadium gates beginning at 10:30 a.m. - while supplies last. Fans are encouraged to enter the stadium early. Ticket purchase does not guarantee a bobblehead.
  • Season Ticket Holder Gift Pickup
    • Season ticket holders that were eligible to receive a Jonathan the Husky dog bobblehead and have not yet picked theirs up, may do so at the Tailgate Guys set up located at Fan Fest near Gate D beginning at 9:00 a.m.
  • 50% Off Nike Fitted UConn Baseball Cap
    • Visit a Campus Customs merchandise stand inside the stadium to purchase.
 

Another that will be real easy to root for w/ his attitude that was captured in full article:

>>I asked Edsall how many times he played a true freshman at offensive tackle. "Not a 261-pound tackle," Edsall said. "He is a competitor, what you look at is do they have the confidence in themselves to handle that situation. If I can look into a kid's eyes and tell if he's got that competitiveness, that want to go out there, know that he is not going to back down." Edsall said the plan was the use Van Demark on every third series and to him credit, it wasn't immediately evident that he had replaced Hopkins in the Virginia game. He most noteworthy moment came when he went about 20 yards down the field to throw a block on a screen pass to Arkeel Newsome.<<

>>Van Demark committed to UConn only a couple of weeks before Bob Diaco was fired which made for some anxious times. "The coaching change was pretty tough," Van Demark said. "When I heard that Edsall got rehired, I was pretty ecstatic coming from his rep and when I heard Coach Grimes was coming to UConn, that was like, 'OK, UConn is it, let's go.' Coach Edsall came down to the Hun School to meet me and once I met him I knew I wanted him to be my coach."<<

Just rewatched the third quarter drive with Van Demark got in there. He did a great job.

Just makes you realize how stupid the Cummings philosophy has been where all lineman have to weigh 3bills to get on the field. Athletic lineman are more capable than heavy lineman. You can run around the heavy guys.
