OT: Lashlee to SMU

We have one of the worst fanbases in America.
There is a direct correlation between fanbase and team. While I won't argue your point about our fanbase, I will point out that we also field one of the worst teams.
 
Not sure what year you would be talking about here. I think UConn has only beaten SMU twice since the beginning of the AAC. Once in 2015 and once in 2016.

Yeah, I meant UCF which was also listed in the teams "thriving."
 
Cincy ranked, WSU ranked, SMU receiving votes and Houston has wins over Wake Forest and Arkansas

SMU receiving votes, Houston has wins I’ve Wake and a ranked Arkansas team, WSU ranked, Cincy ranked.

Right now I would be happy if UConn performed as well as any of these teams.

WSU's success has nothing to do with the AAC.
 
Don’t be as dumb as the idiot millennials.

Jimmy I have no issue with the football team or fans. It’s not my preferred cup of tea. I want football to do well, but when Phil starts saying stuff like our hoops team is more embarrassing to the university you’re going to hear it back because that is patently ludicrous
 
Cut football.

Use the savings for KO's buyout and pay top dollar for his replacement.

Convert Burton family football complex into an on campus hockey arena.

You may be on to something We need an outsider. Maybe make Jay-Z B.B. coach as your first official act. Oh and beer at Gampel

Hear me out...





Jay-Z for hockey coach.

Understand, but if the argument is around a bad conference and recruiting, WSU is coming from an even lower conference.
 
Seems like football is doing all it can to keep us in the AAC.

Those of you that believe we need football, and it will help us into a P5 conference, why do you think this?

Every passing day the OBE is looking mighty appealing.
Hello ........... We are not going to the P5 ............... The AAC or some form of a G5 conference is our final resting spot. I think the P5 dream (and that's what it is) is really hurting UConn and the fan base. It is time for everyone to accept that we are not going to the P5. We need to improve in football and basketball so we can compete and eventually win the AAC conference. That should be everyone's goal.

SMU is in the AAC too.

Addressing the post - Lashlee was staying two years at UConn tops. Wife wanted to get back south. Not a huge surprise. He did an excellent job here in one year. The team was exciting to watch and moved the ball well but didn't score enough. As for replacing him I'm don't think DO is the way to go for OC. I could see making DO the QB coach but I'd want someone with college OC experience hopefully running something similar to Lashlee's offense. Feel free resume the mind numbing bickering.
 
AD Dave received all the credit for getting Lashlee to come to UConn

Wonder if he’ll take any slack for not retaining him longer than a hear

Probably not, since people think AD is the best one in the history of sports in America...

I am afraid this is a reaction to news about AD DB that he knows but we don't yet.
 
Does he owe us any money? Could use it to pay a small portion of Ollie's buyout.

Nah, he doesn’t owe UConn anything.

AD Dave only likes to sign contracts where if a coach massively underperforms and is subsequently fired, the school owes that coach $10MM

If a coach decides to leave on his own for another opportunity, he faces no penalty in this case

Pretty sweet negotiating skills on part of the AD..... the greatest of all time in the history of college athletics ....

Did AD David Benedict sleep with your girl or something?
 
That's it I am announcing my candidacy for Governor tomorrow and my own platform is to dismantle the football program and get the Men's team back to the Big East. I won't run or talk about anything else for one year.
 
I'm tired of basketball fans who won't step foot in the Rent complaining that football is bringing us down. We can't even take care of Columbia or Coppin State in basketball anymore--look in the mirror. The short term future of the basketball program may be more embarrassing than football[/QUOTE

Lets be clear the best moment in the Football program was getting waxed by OU in the Fiesta Bowl. The football program is a complete and utter joke. We aren't football school its time to stop chasing those dollars and focus on the what matters UConn basketball.

Can we move back to the old gym too?

LOL... well played man

I posted pretty brash comments about the AD a couple weeks ago and couldn’t believe the outpouring of love and blind support for the guy

Biggest issue i had was with the 2016 Ollie contract extension that was kept quiet for months and put the school under financial burden

Did laugh for a solid 2 minutes at your comment though. Place lacks humor sometimes

Yeah lets bring KO to the football post too. What a

Ignorant statement.

WSU just signed a phenomenal recruiting class. Beat out Butler for Montverde’s Udeze and Sunshine Academy’s Chance Moore. Also got one of the best PGs in the country out of Memphis, Alex Lomax on top of some solid big men recruits.

Those guys don’t commit to the Shockers without the AAC
 
AAC is a damn good football and basketball conference.
To even entertain canibalizing football when the next media contract is being negotiated (which will very likely be richer that the NBE, with much better exposure) is addle minded and obtuse

All of that BS was somehow procured by the migration of Lashlee??

Wtf
