Spanos seems like a great guy and I hope he can squeeze some respectability from these players. That being said, he cannot be considered for the HC position next year. Even if we win 3 games this year, we need a fresh start. Hiring Spanos will show that we have given up....
No. Not any more. He goes into the reserves, and plays in the NFL. Rule changed at Navy a decade ago, Army and Air Force adopted it more recently.
Two outstanding careers? Sounds great.
Tyler is definitely our QB going forward. With him on the field our offense can put points on the board even with a weak offensive line. A little history on his family as the UConn bio is a little misleading. His father Sam Phommachanh was a stand out QB at Harding High School in Bridgeport in the late 80’s and early 90’s. His brother Taisun also played his freshman and sophomore years at Harding before going to Avon Academy his last two years in HS. Taisun was an instant sensation at Harding his freshman year and was recruited by all the major colleges. After that the family moved to Stratford, and not too long after lost their new home in a tragic fire. Tyler’s mom is Haitian, and his father Sam and extended family (grandmother Kane) are Laotian. Tyler was also recruited by Rutgers, BC, Coastal Carolina, among others. Tyler played his high school ball at Bunnell HS in Stratford his first two years and transferred to Avon Academy after that. SK will be his backup, and a dam good one. In some games depending on the defense UConn sees, I can see SK getting significant playing time. Against a defense that has a strong pass rush though, Tyler has to get the call.
I'll put two exceptions on that, though.
Thank you for your expert analysis! There are signs of improvement however and there was a lot more energy
Settle down! Nobody said that after yesterday all problems are gone and that we’ll win out. Best I’ve seen is we now may have shot at Yale and Umass. Why is it that some people, regardless of the outcome will have only critical views and act as if they are in the running for next coach because they know everything?
Get excited all you want, that's fine. But be realistic: but this looks exactly the same as it has, until they took out their starters. Let's stop with the low standards.
Actually you kind of hit the nail on the head for me. He is the fist QB we’ve had that looks like he really wants to be out there - he goes for it! He doesn’t give up on plays and is trying to something great. He doesn’t look scared out there - but hungry. And he’s a threat to run at any time - we need a QB Like this with the OL we have.
always seems like a Bridgeport kid has to go up to Storrs to get things moving in the right direction, but youse knew that (mikey, smitty,), amiright?
He’s so good you don’t even know his name. So, there you go.
absolutely a nice throw and most definitely should’ve been caught. Give credit where credit’s due.
Not everyone gets an exemption. The Red Sox drafted Noah Song as a high draft pick, a pitcher from Navy who couldn't get the waiver. He is in his 3rd year of service I think.

Lol, I was at the game and it was bad, but looks even worse on paper.
One questionable no call, was the hit on Tyler well after he threw the ball.
Yes, of course. My bad.
I have to disagree with you on this one. How can you say that SK didn’t want to be out there? He looked confident and poised and commanded the huddle. Karlaftis, and the rest of the D line, were in his face and every time SK got knocked down he got right back up. He never gave up the whole game and tried his best to move the chains. Even in the fourth quarter he showed just as much heart and enthusiasm that he did at the start of the game. And as far as “going for it,” how many times did you see SK slide during the game. He ran hard and never quit. Whether it was running to the sidelines to get the first down or off tackle and through people to pick up some extra yardage. Maybe they didn’t put up any points against Perdue but it wasn’t for lack of enthusiasm and not going fort it.
