Cavaliers eyeing an end to road losing streak at UConn

There's a great opportunity for our HC to get the guys behind him and onboard for a major statement. First he's got to be accountable in a way that shows them he gets it and is committed to change.

Second he needs to take the training wheels off and throw them in Coventry Lake. If Coach let's the guys play they will be out for blood this week. Seize the moment Coach and trust your guys.

I think I'm willing to pretend that last week never happened provided that we don't come out and do something stupid that causes us to fall behind.

Less than a week away from #UConnBandDay! Upwards to 15 H.S bands will be present for a combined halftime perf.

UVA has looked pretty rough. I think you guys take care of them this week. In fact there is a good chance you go 3-0 in The ACC this year.

In case anyone is interested, UConn slashed prices for both Sept games. 4 tickets for $100.

Run, run, pass, punt or RRRP again through the first 25 minutes of the game. Please not that again. So exasperating. Causes the team to lose and ruins the game day experience for the fans.

They really have the strangest approach to selling tickets on the planet.

That's a nice wish but we may have a Run once then Punt set of downs. HCBD may think it's 3rd down when it's actually first down..

Number of Tickets in the SEPTEMBER SPECIAL (4 Tickets to either game for only $100! A minimum of 4 tickets to either game is required.)

1. What are 3
2. What are 2
3. What are 1
4. What are 4.

I bought 17 seats for the Cuse game using that deal and then my old man said we needed 3 more. So I went to order the 3 extra seats but it didn't allow me as you need to order 4.

Called UConn and they took care of it in a matter of minutes and gave me the extra 3 seats at the sale price without an issue.

Even if it's true, putting that last call on the players is not a good look.

If you're going to own it, OWN IT without qualifiers. Weak.

I hear ya but in reality, nothing he says is going to satisfy everyone. Final call was his and he took responsibility and accountability for it happening.

What good purpose did revealing that serve?
