Guess I'll start the game thread.

Really early three year hook? Pasqualoni was already long gone by this point in coach Disastro's career at UCONN, and he was a better coach.

The differences that make this situation different in my opinion: PP took over a team that had talent and knew how to win, and he had a much more positive conference affiliation scenario. Those are two huge hurdles that Diaco has to deal with that PP didn't. Again, I wouldn't be upset if Diaco got canned after this season by ANY stretch.

Whenever someone says put the backup in because it can't get any worse...well this is much much worse.

Interception....

5 in a game and A HALF.

31-0?

There was no OT in The Game as it was played last week and ended in regulation.

Fair enough! There are LOTS of great rivalries out there (that's one thing I love about college football), so multiple rivalries cause fans todub their's "The Game"!

Why run an offensive play?

 

[BNich]

You literally can't laugh any louder

 

[TouchdownHusky]

I was against burning the RS. I did say that since the RS is burned, they will have film to go off of for next year.

Yes you did. But why bother, this kid is not the answer.

 

[Waquoit]

I can't remember the last time I saw Diaco scream at a player.

He should start with Alec Bloom. What a puss.

 

[Tommyboy]

The defense actually tips the ball backwards in the air on that Hail Mary. Good lord.

 

[freescooter]

Ladies and gentlemen,boy and girls,
You have just witnessed a team quitting on its coach.

 

[Durks07]

Every game, this is appropriate.

 

[cgbgjr]

Burning the red shirt would have been a bad coaching move if the red shirt had talent--but Diaco was lucky, not good.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

bring in Bissack, the walk on. He can't be worse. And is Williams, with all BDs hype up til a few weeks ago, indicative of what we will actually see from all the freshman who red shirted this year?

 

[Waquoit]

Diaco blew it by settling for the FG on 4th and 1. Set the tone.

 

[Dove]

If Bobby gets canned:

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Question of day . . . is BD's recruiting of players and talent worse than his game day coaching? Beginning to look like it.

Ladies and gentlemen,boy and girls,

That already happened a few weeks ago. Today is nothing more than a continuation of the same.

Buffalo 2013 all over again

 

[Waquoit]

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, the halftime show is a Salute to Glenn Frey.

 

[BRS24]

I kept changing the channel to the game, my USNA alum hubby kept asking, and I said eternal optimism. Now at the half, we are swapping b/w Navy/SMU and and Auburn/Bama

you know, offense can be complicated but if you can't tell the difference between 4th and 1 and 4th and 18, you're going to have problems.

 

[Walker11]

I imagine its some of both but more of coaching. We have seen most of these players operate at a much higher level in the recent past. I think they gave up on BD.

I was just giving you a hard time, as I know Michigan-Ohio St. call their game "The Game" as well. It seems the Yale-Harvard game is only a big deal locally, and unless something whacky happens gets zero mentions nationally. Sad, really.

 

[RedStickHusky]

on the bright side , I guess we managed three WTF wins this season.

 

[ninety-nine]

If I were Diaco's accountant, I think I'd argue that most of Diaco's salary for 2016 isn't taxable to him under federal income tax law because he didn't perform any services in exchange for the money, and it legally constitutes a gift.
