Someone forgot to update the depth chart for the loss of Swenson.

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 53m 53 minutes ago
Edsall has said of the depth chart, "It's just kind of something you put out."

They are sloppy on this short week. No FaceBook Live of Press Conference, No Depth Chart or Game Notes uploaded on UConn site (they are done because Memphis has them posted).

>>Shirreffs is the first UConn quarterback with back to back 400-yard passing games and he has more yards in consecutive games than any other player in program history. <<

I love that there is no coddling going on... Reality check, plain and simple.. It is what it is... One thing I notice though.. we're getting better... that's what we all want to see...

So lame that its awesome!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Given the present vintage/ironic nerdy is cool culture those should be a huge hit. Who wouldn’t wanna show up to a party with their liquor in a fanny pack? Reading tea leaves here, maybe Friday is the throw back uniform night Randy was hoping to do?

So lame that its awesome!

Quick look @ Twitter reveals a bunch of “non-students” looking for students willing to make a few bucks by selling one.

Another sign we're not in P5

Well no - but we are P6...so.... I've seen the stickers.

And FWIW - this league has grown on me. Stockholm syndrome has taken over. I'll gladly watch Tulsa vs SMU or Cincy vs Navy any time rather than NC State vs Wake or Purdue vs Minnesota. With AAC games, you are less assured of the outcome and there is often plenty of offense.
