He owned it - he said the final decision was his alone.

Edsall leans on UConn football leadership council in Summers suspension

Yeah, but when you throw out names of subordinates as being part of the decision making process, it weaselish. Especially when it is peers of the person being punished.

Nothing worth losing sleep over.

Does it make me a bad person because I read “loss of” and “Quinten Flowers” and got real excited?

Has the field ever looked so great in November? Is it a difference grass or is it just the warm wet fall we’ve had?

Gotta be the prolonged warm weather. But yes, the field does look in great shape. Not even a hint of wear between the hashmarks.

Great teams are built on teammates holding each other accountable. The coach shouldn’t have to be the only one who enforces it.

What is the Value of Accountability in Sports?

It would be great if the fans who never served in the military acted like they did and showed up to their seats promptly for gametime.

I am watching Umass keep up with Ole Miss, 20-20 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd and I am just hoping Uconn can do something similar, just keep up for at least a half. Even if Ole Miss pulls away (likely) and win by 2 or 3 touchdowns.

I was just going to say I didn't see Summers working with any of the units during warmups. (I didn't get there early enough for position drills)
