Liberty Post Game Thread

[Waquoit]

I was convinced that the combination of having a steady TV home for our games and a great coach could make UConn Football a cult favorite. A team CFB can root for when their team isn't on. I wasn't convinced it would happen before Thanksgiving his first year yet here we are.

 

[Travelman6]

Amazing win, awesome job.

I have to wonder....

what would happen with another crack at cuse after this game and one week to rest... I think it'd be a lot closer....

 

[The Mick]

Yeah got real sexist quick there

There are many great women announcers but unfortunately she is not one. I know she primarily announces hoop but was totally lost on the football game.

 

[ThetaZoo]

We know, the running joke is the fans of other programs finding out. She's not a UConn announcer, she is a CBS employee who just happened to be available. Maybe now that we are a bowl team, we can demand better.

My personal fav from today was, "Do you think they should go for it?" on a 1st and ten after we converted on 3rd by at least 4 yards.

my personal favorites were her saying over and over, "they give it to them" when either UConn or Liberty makes the first down by substantial yards. I guess she doesn't trust her eyes.

This has been my biggest pet peeve I think. RB downed ten yards passed the line to gain and we get a “looks like they’re going to spot them enough for a first down”.

They're incredibly frustrated but it's pretty tame. Only really one guy bashing UConn.

I did like the guy that expected Liberty to come out motivated because they were snubbed by the CFP rankings.

Wow.

[Hey Adrien!]

It's incredible the jump UConn has made this season, especially after the win against Liberty:

 

[traitor71]

UConn is 6-1 with her calling the game.

Hell, forget Mora. Extend her contract!

 

[Huskyforlife]

Absolutely amazing. After watching Liberty go up in the third quarter, I thought UConn was toast. I didn't think the offense had it in them to come back.

Their resilience all year has been stunning. Mora has talked all year about the character of the team....and it wasn't just words.

Congratulations to the players and coaches... especially the seniors.

What a game!!!

I was thinking about beating the traffic. So glad I didn’t!

 

[gsmooth]

In all fairness, Meghan McPeak was horrible.

But UConn is 5-1 or 6-1, whatever it is, with her calling the games. She absolutely cannot be fired. Maybe she should be promoted with the condition that she still has to call all UConn games

 

[HCCForever]

Loved this quote from their board. "Freeze and bad 4th down calls, name a better duo"

[Redding Husky]

lol... the first page starts with a bunch of complaints about Meghan McPeak.

"This woman announcer is terrible."
"The announcer does seem like she's new to the gig or something."
"Girly announcer: referred to an RPO as “play-action”."
"Certainly a UConn announcer."

Didn’t she say “There’s a timeout on the floor” in one of our previous games?

I thought it meant someone else moved up on the short list. Can't touch this!

Those rankings look accurate to me

 

[gsmooth]

Every player deserves this moment, but especially the seniors that had to put up with Edsall

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Yeah got real sexist quick there

They pointed out that she was a female (the identifying characteristic she has that separates her from the other person calling the game), and that she was lousy at calling football. We have been saying the same thing all season....usually with far more vitriol.

On another note, it is the cruelest of cruel jokes that somehow she, not any of the billions of people/things in the world, is our good luck charm.

In two games.

 

[Husk-a-Maniac]

The Rent and Him Mora are trending

What is that? Like the next Disney+ series to follow She Hulk?

 

[DCUconnfan]

What a phenomenal win. I had to drift around the concourse because my 1 year old was loosing her bananas in the stands and had a perfect view for the game winning touchdown to KC. That ball was a dime, and ZT took a look to his left (Joly) to start and went to the second read. His growth is real.

When I pulled into the lot (no tailgate this time around) and was as far back as I was, I was sure the crowd inside would be solid. To that end, the number of people that have to go to the game to not go into the game and just tailgate had to be huge. Number of cars >>> number of people in the stands.

Checks out

the joke is she's employed to call football games

can a woman call football games? Probably. Can this woman call football games. No. Would I prefer a man calling football games. Yes. Would I want a man who does this bad calling football games? Absolutely not.

the only reason I tolerate fauria is because he's a former NFLer. This week he was more sedate than the UMass game where he clearly ate all the sugar in a 30 mile radius pre-game

Well, except for the fourth quote, you can hardly blame them for spouting the truth. Anyone listening to her for the first time isn’t going to believe it.

The play by play caller was literally terrible. She doesn’t know basic football. It’s not great.

 

[noeynox]

This team got punched in the mouth and in the gut to end the 1st half and start the 2nd. Didn't fold, fought back took the lead, and 1play later got throat punched. Fought back yet again and pulled it out. Hell of a game against a legit top 25 squad.
