Gordon Sammis, Mora’s best hire

[Nostical]

I met Fortin's Mom at the game Saturday, very nice woman but she speaks almost zero English and I speak zero French so it was just a lot of us smiling and nodding our heads at each other.

Ha! Luckily I paid enough attention in French class to have a rudimentary conversation with her. Very nice family.

Actually, I also sat next to Bo Este's parents

On the other side was Victor, Brayden Zermeno's Grandfather. He is amazing. Has been in a hotel near Storrs from LA for almost a month and headed home after the Army game.

That’s awesome!
It’s easy to overlook the commitment these families make to support their sons. And not all of them have the resources. Fortins drive from Quebec City, Estes fly from Tulsa, Zermano and several others from California, several from Florida and Texas, and Danny Antolovich’s dad flies from Switzerland!
It doesn’t matter if their kids are starters or have yet to play one down. You may say “of course they make the effort to support their kids”—but I find it inspiring.

Love the commitment from all involved. Watching the women's game last night, they mentioned that Azzi Fudd's grandparents bought a house near Storrs so they could watch Azzi. Another example of commitment as long as you have the resources.

Alternate access link here <<

-> As the UConn football team has lost key player after key player to injury, success has come from the one positional group that has remained the most healthy – the offensive line. With a goal of being “the best,” inspired by new offensive line coach Gordon Sammis, the Huskies have seemingly been able to win games by running the ball no matter who is lined up in the backfield.

The core five: Valentin Senn, Noel Ofori-Nyadu, Jake Guidone, Christian Haynes and Chase Lundt – have started all 11 games for the Huskies this season. <-

It's amazing to hear all the o-line who have been interviewed all have the same message of being the best o-line in the country and they all have said great things about Coach Sammis.

Sadly Guidone will be leaving, so hopefully next man up is ready

Where is he going? His coaching of the line and running schemes will be missed for sure.

Jake Guidone is the Grad Transfer OL who is out of eligibility.

Yup. RB coach is second.

Good line play makes everyone look better.
