I don't care whose guys you have

I'm going to make a statement that will serve to be both the current problem and the future hope, all at the same time.

Edsall is playing freshmen and sophomores almost exclusively this year. Edsall knows that what he is doing will have us with a winning record in two years' time (2020). He also knows that what he is doing will cause us some brutal losses right now.

For a fanbase that has had to endure 7 years of punishment, we can't even stomach the idea of another brutal game, much less another brutal year. But the game plan will get us bowling again.

Now, the AD should have ticket prices reflect this long view. Drop the prices, ...do creative things like young kids for free. Rebuild the fanbase. And stop making Randy do press conference. And we'll take care of the rest...

I wish there was a decision to build a stadium on campus - for a program like UConn that makes a world of difference
DB is a db and IMHO I can't wait for him to part ways - before anyone jumps all over me I understand that he had nothing to do with the stadium decision. I just think he is not right for UConn and is as arrogant as they come.
While I agree this is a rebuild, I just can't see how they get beat up so much on D - and why the size difference (never mind age) is so lopsided with every opponent so far this year
FRUSTRATING very frustrating

Winning in 2 years ? Lol get real

What saved Edsall's butt the first time after 3 miserable seasons was a this player from CT named Orlovsky. And being able to sell under valued players on a BCS league.

We have neither card to play this time.

Exactly.

That's not real for you??

If waiting two full years to win is not real enough for you, it's time for you to go root for Alabama...

You are believing in the fallacy that players automatically improve 800% just because they get older. What do you see from the young kids on this team that makes you think they'll be any good? There's nothing to base that on.

Well, they get to play guys closer to their own age. It’s boys against men now.

First of all, you made up the 800% number. It's absolutely not a fallacy that players improve with extra years in a program. That's due to understanding roles, getting stronger, etc.

Second of all, we've already seen the offensive line play much better as sophomores. I expect a similar bump from year one to year two on defense. And again from year two to year three, which this current defense will absolutely need.

I'm right. You'll just have to stick around to find out...
