Jacobs: What College Team has a Foothold in NY?

[EricLA]

OK, which one of you guys is actually Tom Marston?

Somebody needs to kick Mr. Marston in his testiculos.

The thing is, though, he's right. There are reasons for it and fortunately I hope the new, young, energetic and vibrant football HC will turn things around. It's not like the ACC or Big10 are itching to expand at the moment. UCONN has a chance to right the ship, so to speak.

They've already done great things with the football and now hoops practice facilities. The rent apparently can be expanded by a fairly good number of seats. I'm sure they will require a commitment from UCONN to do just that. But the fact remains that our football "footprint" is small and unimpressive, at least by comparison to other "bigger time" football programs. I'm not saying it can't change, but at the moment it's very average.

We'll it also doesn't help that they school changed the policy a few years ago to announce actual attendance and not paid attendance. So, its seriously deflating our attendance numbers compare to what other schools report. The number for the Memphis game would be more like 27,000 than 17,000.

The testiculos on this guy.

And not in a good way.

Re-dredging the past - good work, Daily News

Thanks, Bondy

One of the stupidest, least informed articles I've ever read. Looked at some stats without context, and decided that UConn didn't care about education.
