I posted a video, of the America's Cup, USA Team Oracle crew skippered by James Spithill, that went stern over bow on a 72' catamaran, breaking the mast, and tearing up it's main sail. Happened two days ago in San Francisco bay.

There are a few people around here, that can appreciate - the speed, force that goes into something like that happening. For refernece sakes, a racing yacht, a catamaran that size - has never been flipped stern over bow before.

You have to be involved with some serious wind, some serious surf, and frigging fast, large boat - to push that kind of envelope. They pushed it, and they know the limits of that America's Cup catamaran now.

Well. The UConn football program....in a matter of what? How many months since Jan. 1, 2011? It's now October 19, 2012. THat's what? Hmm....22 months?

Flipped stern over bow - broken mast - and sinking.

S.O.S.

Warde Manuel!

THe Coast Guard was immediately on scene for Team Oracle.

What are we going to do? Who's going to save us? I don't know. I'm upset.

I am more upset with the first three possessions of this game, than I am the outcome.

Believe it or not.

There is no excuse for coming out and playing like the lame, scared turds we looked like early in this game.

I would not be unhappy, to see underclassmen replacing upperclassmen, playing the rest of the way, this season, on both sides of the ball.
