Memories of exciting football

I bet we don't win. We're UConn. I bet if someone can find out a way to lose historical games, it's our coaching staff.

 

[mets1090]

No no no we have a different coaching staff in this game.

 

[metsfan2323]

How did we win this game when USF had Jason Pierre Paul slanting and moving all over the field?

 

[SubbaBub]

Turned it on, 4min left in the 4th. First words from the announcer "That big offensive line..." Dixon in for 6 from the 2. That's really all there is to say, other than watching it makes remember how cold I was.

 

[mets1090]

Because we had an O-Line that could block just about anything you threw at it. Those were the days.

Miss those Dixon locks churning out yardage.......

Miss those Dixon locks churning out yardage.......

Delorenzo has a little churn in him. Maybe someday he will be allowed to play behind a power blocking scheme.

 

[SAMCRO]

Come on Bagsby, make the play. Can't believe we just blew the lead with 40 seconds left. WTF.

 

[MattMang23]

No no no we have a different coaching staff in this game.

Oh I know, but I'm willing to bet our current regime can re-write history.

Come on Frazier, hit the receiver in stride. Jeeezus

 

[SAMCRO]

Nice catch and lunge for the 1st down by Griff.

 

[SAMCRO]

Frazier to Kashif, nice. We're in FG range.

 

[mets1090]

This kick is a gimme for Teggart.

 

[SAMCRO]

Teggart tme!

 

[mets1090]

LOL I forgot all about Edsall getting trucked by a UConn player when they were coming off the sidelines to celebrate

 

[SAMCRO]

right....down....the....middle!!!
Best part was Edsall getting run over and put on his arse rushing the field. He was pissed.

 

[Waquoit]

What a great crowd!

 

[businesslawyer]

Could we please have Marcus Easley back?

 

[Hoophound]

Could we please have Marcus Easley back?

Why? Can Easley run it up the middle?

It was the a Best game ever at the Rent, bar none. And, I have not missed one.

It was the a Best game ever at the Rent, bar none. And, I have not missed one.

At least top five. Just a tremendous tailgate atmosphere and a never-say-die attitude on the part of the guys and the coaching staff. I remember thinking to myself, after all the crap that happened to us that year, losing five games by a total of 15 points, couldn't we please, please, please make a bowl -- and we did.

That was probably our least desirable bowl destination and I wouldn't have missed Birmingham for the world. I loved that team, with a capital L.
