Back when we were in the process of moving to IA from IAA, Calhoun was quoted as understanding the importance of and supporting the move to Big Time Football. Many people were asking the question of how important it was, and should we do it, and Jim emphatically said yes.
Prototypical size, quick release, accurate, exceptional decision making, doesn’t move well.. sound familiar?
The coaches of every sport know the importance of having football be competitive. Football is the only way to get into the big boy money so if football continues to compete that does nothing but make every other sport more attractive to the P4
You'd be surprised at how short sighted some folks are.
You think that the fact that we threw really well in two games in mid-50s fall weather eliminates the beliefs that, in parts of the country, you have to be able to run effectively on cold late November days? That we’ve had one effective throwing QB in 22 years means that it’s as easy to recruit QBs in our region as it is other positions? O.K.
Newsflash. When you get a QB that can pass the ball, he will be effective passing the ball. This one came from FCS Maine where its colder than here. No QB we ever brought in here that couldn't pass here when they saw the field went and tore it up elsewhere.
did we just take Nick's NIL money away? lol i never thought about this, but I cannot imagine he's raking in the cash by sitting on the bench.
But unless UConn is willing to pay $1 million a year or more they will have to get “lucky” in the portal with an up and coming QB. I think QBs are the hardest position to fill.
