This too.... maybe our OL playwas overhyped by coach before the season started? I think it's CRYSTAL CLEAR now. I truly hope it improves over the season though.

But I gotta fight the urge to watch us start the gsme in a hole, then fight all the way back yo tie or take the lead, only to have a let down at the end. All 3 FBS games we've played gas that footprint, even tjough we got bailed out by the UVA kicker.

Definitely a drunk text.....;)

Head bang This what I envision when we run QB draw. I love emojis and scotch.

I see nothing in the horizon that will increase attendance. We're boring, we don't win, and the fans hate the conference. Today, it literally felt like the Big time football dream is dying. Words can't explain how sad that makes me as a fan of uconn football.

UL used to be garbage. So did Stanford. Etc, etc, etc.

We are definitely pretty close to garbage mode right now.

Why did you feel the need to post anything about "walking away"? I mean it's pretty simple....just walk away. No soapbox, no "hey look at me everyone I'm better than you because I refuse to watch anymore", no nothing. It's just not necessary, because you knew damn well this was going to happen. And you did it anyway. That says a lot about you, none of it good.

Lol. Get real buddy. This entire message board is nothing more than a soapbox.

If I didn't live 10 minutes from the Rent, I would have a hard time making the games a priority. Anybody who needs a break, especially people who have given 10-15 years of support, I completely get it.

Until there is an offensive head coach brought in, what you see is what you get. I still say if Diaco doesn't go bowling, his seat gets hot right out of the gate next year. If the team collapses to 4-8 or 3-9 I would not be shocked to see Benedict pull the trigger.

Again, anyone who has put in their time, gets cut some slack by me. If I lived in Fairfield County, I would have to rethink things.

I've had season tickets for 16 years and live in FFld County. I'll continue to buy 4 tickets a year and donate to the school as well. I can't say I'll continue to make getting to every game a priority. I'm worn out.

Yes it still does exist. To see one cornerback badly beaten on 4 or 5 plays without moving him, replacing him or at least giving him support says about the same inflexibility we see on offense . This is the same cornerback who had his back turned to the ball on several plays against Maine. This is either poor coaching or the depth is a lot less than we have been told.
Fourth game of the season and we still have no pass rush, defensive line is a sieve. I think we have the best passing quarterback we have had in 8 or 9 years yet we always seem to run on most first and second downs. I think we'll see many more fans depart before the end of this seaso.

Yeah our DB was toast today, but in his defense, just a little bit, our defensive philosophy doesn't necessarily scream put oressure on tge oppising team's QB in the pocket. Anybody notice how that QB had time to go thru his progressions? Yeah we got to him ince maybe twice I forget, but you give a QB time, and he can throw football consistently (unlike our QB, who seems to see only one read then gets to running), you're gonna grt picked apart. Not to mention our ultra conservative offensive play didn't help. Ultimately, the pick 6 was the deciding factor on the scoreboard today, but if you watch the game you see what seems to be a lot of opportunities we left on the field.
 
This game was awful. But I have zero respect for anyone who says they are done. Are you a fan or not?

Agree 1000%, is there anyone that could have switched off with him? How about stop playing off the line 10 plus yards and press their damn receivers? Show some of that strength and conditioning off that is always talked about. I mean how about turning around and looking for the ball when the receiver begins to make a move for the ball, pass interference will not be called if your head is turned around looking for the ball. That can be taught but being 3 or 4 inches shorter can not.

Sadly, I believe this is spot on. I brought my wife and kids (story for another thread), she described the game and team as "sad", no other word. I bring her to 1 game a year.

I hate seeing a CB playing 10 yds of the LOS too but, unfortunately that's the defensive philosophy we run. That bend but don't D.
What got me was he never turned for the ball either. He tried to knock the ball away from the WR as the ball got too the WR. Didnt work.

Get out of my head! Exact same points I bitched about the entire ride home. Good post.

I also live down in FFld County. I upgraded my seats this year in a show of support. Not sure what the future holds. I do know this, I wish I skipped the game today. Not sure I will go to BCU.
 
16 year ticket holder from 1998 on. My wife is very ill so I couldn't re-up this year. I was so sad to miss the Rent for all it stands for- the underdog, a can do team and aspirations of something bigger. It's even worse watching a decade of hard work destroyed in the last 6 years.... Truly a legacy squandered. I hope to be back, but honestly I wonder if we can ever recapture what was built without an unflinching commitment to going big time. Diaco seemed like a great agent for change. The objective truth is little has changed. something has to give otherwise we will be a middling MAC level program for a very long time.
 
This game has everything bad about the Diaco era:

Completely concede the first 4 series if the game.
RRRP
Backbreaking turnover
Let Cuse exactly where they want to kick FG at half.
Awful on 3rd down offense and defense.

I wasn't going to the game as of last night because of a business commitment so gave my tix and parking pass to a friend. Things changed this morning and at 11am I drove up, got a ticket and was in my seat from start to finish. Kicking myself in the a^^ right now.

Best parts of the day were chicken fingers and flirting with the pretty female State Trooper at the Blue Lot crosswalk.

I come form Westchester and I'm not gonna give up my seats or stop going to games; but my patience with Diaco, Verducci and Sherriffs is wearing EXTREMELY thin..especially the last 2! Tim Fontenault put it best on twitter after the game when he posted that Diaco "needs to go out of his comfort zone with coaches. Frank Verducci is a problem for this program.". It will be interesting to see what Benedict dictates to him, and how he takes it.

Um it's a message board. Expressing your thoughts and feelings is the point of a message board. You're right I did know what I was doing when I posted this but I'm not really sure what you thought I was doing? Anyways enjoy the season. I don't recognize your handle so I'm going to assume you've only started posting or following in recent years. People who have been around know that I go back to the original Boneyard. Pre-1A status Boneyard. I don't post anymore because this program sucks and it's not worth "bellyaching" about it but this will be worth it is someone in the AD department reads it.

I joined up 2 years ago, but up until recently rarely posted here. If you've ever been to the CSNbbs board, you'd recognize the handle. Since you say you don't recognize it, I'll assume no you haven't.

As for your assumption, I was until the oBE days a casual, "Hey UCONN won (or lost).", kind of fan. I don't have the finances to go "all in". so if you were planning on putting me on blast cause I didn't support it like you did, don't bother.

Ive been following this program closely for 15 years, I think it's been long enough. Say what you want about me as a fan but I won't waste another beautiful Saturday watching this crap. Life is too short to let idiotic coaches stress me out every weekend. I will be back when and if we ever start winning. Yup these fools have turned me into a bandwagon fan. My Redskins suck, my Knicks suck and my Mets sucked for a long time but I can stomach watching them because they are at the very least competent and entertaining. UConn Football is neither.

Come back LRock34, Pa's got things for you to do and mother wants you, I know she does. Bye LRock34.

Please help me understand what comments like "don't let the door hit you..." and" I have no respect for" are meant to accomplish? Do you guys think it will help build the program? Maybe help build attendance. I actually think such comments are like the ostrich, stick your head in the sand and maybe it will go away. Come on guys. Enough.
