I agree that we are in an awkward position but feel like there is much more upside waiting the ACC out than just jumping at the first opportunity we get. In 2-3 years, there might be enough movement to have an Eastern football conference not too dissimilar to the old big east.
It's like you don't even know us
Don't we need a partner? And wouldn't that be the same with the Big 12?
Pull a Randy Edsell and retire
I expected us to be a lot better and was really disappointed. I thought the defense was the biggest letdown as offense was a gong show both years.
I honestly don't know what's up with Jim hanging back but I think letting basketball carry all the momentum right now is the correct thing. We are deep into spring practices right now and I assure you there is likely a lot of football stuff going on right now and the program needs to transition from the end of that season back into football while the chatter is hot right now for the sake of the entire program that isn't basketball.
The ACC almost seems like a deal with the devil at this point. You almost have to do it but then you're in a dead conference. What do we do after half of the conference or more leaves?
There's no awkward position as long as there's clear out clauses either the MAC and so on accept that reality or they don't. I'd be very open about this.
If basketball runs the bus could it be that he was told not to post anything? Reality is UConn is the last part of his legacy. If he truly is hanging back my guess is somebody pissed him off royally
Maybe even the lack of reciprocation. Mora is very involved, and from what I've seen goes to events for every kind of men's and women's sport, gives constant shout-outs to athletes even from less known sports and to the coaches, and the response and reciprocation has always seemed tepid. He probably would love it if all the other coaches were plugging for him in the same manner. I imagine he thought he was buying into a community and sometimes feels like he's on an island.
Yeah, as a fan that would be my preferred route.
Really ? lol no
I agree... but problem is everybody wants it all... without the work put in ... over the years we dealt with so many obsticles with FBS football (a lot self inflicted in our early years IMHO... we didn't invest financially the way we should've in the beginning.... lack of Admin knowledge about what we got ourselves into)...
How about using your influence to get UConn into the B1G? Not trying to give you a hard time, just desperately hoping that the league will, sooner than later, see what it's missing.
No.
