Unfortuntely, perception is reality these days.
Writer is jerk for what he wrote about the blue and white kid though.
That bell has rung. For all the positives we would bring - and I truly believe that long term we would be a help to either the B1G or ACC - if they've been watching our games this year, Warde and Susan's phones aren't ringing any time soon.This could be a death knell for P5 hope. In an era where college football viewership (the motivating factor behind CR) is driven by excitement and high-flying offense, we're further cementing our reputation as a boring "pitching and defense" team.

What he wrote about me doesn't bother me. By dressing the way I do, I have to expect to get both positive and negative attention. I'm used to it, and can deal with it. I beileve that picture was taken within a minute of USF converting a 3rd and 16 with a rushing play. So I may have been a little dejected with that play, but obviously I didn't give up on the game until the scoreboard read 0:00. Hopefully we can make more substantial progress on Saturday versus Temple because the fan support is only going to get worse if the results continue the way they have. I'll be at the Rent painted up again Saturday, and then I'll be in New Orleans for the Tulane game. A little rain and a rough patch of play will not stop me from supporing this team.

If I knew nothing about Uconn football,and watched that game on national tv,I would be making a laughing stock out of them too.Their reputation is at an all-time low after that mess.Nobody cares that so and so was giving it their all out there till the end.We deserve to be the punchline of all jokes right now.It is what it is.I hope and pray that BD can bring us out of this wreck.it's going to take time to get his type of player in here.All I know is I'm really tired of being a below average football team for a good chunk of their D1 football existence, and being told about year after year by the media.This is exactly what frustrates me most about Friday night's game: the national attention UCONN got and the punchline we became all over social media, etc. I understand and have fully signed up for a rebuilding year in 2014. What I don't want to sign up for is UCONN football's reputation getting any worse than it already is. Instead of nice little pieces about the players playing hard until the end of the game, we were (and continue to be) the punchline for "does UCONN know that the forward pass is legal?" jokes that continued through the weekend. Exactly what UCONN does not need when we are desperately trying to fight our way out of the AAC.
We need 40,000 like You every week. Props to You Kid.What he wrote about me doesn't bother me. By dressing the way I do, I have to expect to get both positive and negative attention.

We were there in the cold last year at Temple with our grandsons and witnessed our heroic comeback. Down 21-0 at the half and my wife freezing--we stayed to the end. So did you.
We were at UCF watching our Huskies get demolished by the first QB taken in the Draft (my two granddaughters that time) and we have a photo to prove Blue-White Kid was there too.
And we just sat in the rain (again with our granddaughters) at USF. And we saw BWK from afar and smiled.
That writer is dead wrong. I never, ever, regret showing up at a Husky game--even when we lose--and I don't think BWK does either. And we will win again. And when we do I'll remember all the fans I've seen on the road during the lean times. And I'll raise the glass highest for Blue White Kid.
F-yea you'll be there!!!What he wrote about me doesn't bother me. By dressing the way I do, I have to expect to get both positive and negative attention. I'm used to it, and can deal with it.
