7 interceptions in one game is astonishing. You'd have thought Duquesne would simply stop throwing the ball

excellent, time for Central to consider moving up in college football

 

[UConnDan97]

Good luck to them! I'm always rooting for CT. It would be cool to see them have a deep run on the national stage...

 

[Purple Stein]

URI is good but they are beatable. CCSU has a shot.

 

[BugsyCT]

They were actually picked to finish last in the NEC preseason poll. Great season for my alma mater (even though I'm religiously devoted to UConn).

 

[HuskyV]

Great for CCSU! Need "Connecticut State Univeristy" to develop a strong image.

 

[DoctorWho85]

I love this for them. Hopefully Western, UNH and Yale get better too and we really start to show that the NE is a football region.

Eastern and St. Joseph's didn't have football. But Trinity and Wesleyan do.

It was a joke so I didn't do the proper research. Sue me.

I work for CCSU’s athletic department and can say it was truly a special year for the football team. Picked last in the preseason poll, they lost one score games on the road at Yale, Dartmouth, and UMass on the road in nonconference play. Then, needing to win their last four conference games to win the title, they beat Wagner, Stonehill, Robert Morris in 2OTs, and then took down #19 Duquesne to win the NEC. Hope they can pull off the upset at URI on Saturday!

I love that comment.

My buddies used to call it “CT State”

Pretty sure that in a regular season match up to win the NFC East in ‘86, the Redskins threw six against the Giants in RFK.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Tough matchup to start with RI.

UNH was awesome in the late 80s/early 90s

 

[Purple Stein]

Mark Whipple and then Tony Sparano's teams. Consecutive out of the park hires - dunno who their AD was but they did a great job.

Western has been rolling the past couple of seasons. There are a few ridiculous scores here.

My daughter participated in a dance camp last season so I went to one of the games because she was performing at halftime and I had a great time.

I really like their stadium. It sits on a hill so you don't even feel like you're in New Britain. All you see is scenic wooded hills.

I live down the street so I told myself that I'd go to a couple of regular season games but never got around to it.

I like their stadium too. Unfortunately they can’t pack the stadium this late in the season. When the weather is nice and students are on campus. Attendance is decent for 6,000 seats.

The only knock I give CCSU is their tailgate atmosphere could use a make over. I’d suggest putting a tailgate set up on grass behind the baseball field for students and alumni.
