Randy Edsall on State of the Program

I continue to fail to see the allure of the block C. It's childish, archaic, boring, and doesn't identify the University or the team. It could just as easily be Cincinnati, Clemson, Colorado, or the Chicago Bears for god sake.

Agree. A light outline of the state in the background would be cool.

Some big schools use a singular letter for a logo. Michigan, Illinois, Arizona, Stanford, Syracuse, Miami, Duke, USF, Temple, Tulane, Oregon, Wesleyan, Trinity, Amherst, etc. Their letter logos are identifiable because they've been tradition. There's also schools who use multiple letters, 2 or 3. It's a basic college tradition. It emanates a majestic look. The Chicago Bears got their C logo from the University of Chicago.

Amherst, Wesleyan, Trinity are big time schools?

Merry Christmas, all!!!!

you've seen art post on the cesspool, you should know by now he reads at a 6th grade level.
 
Let's see we've had some of the absolute worst recruiting classes in the nation the past 5 seasons, we've won what 15 games the past 5 seasons, but now, just now, people are having their eyes opened to our ineptitude?

Yes, you said they are big time. I know they are prestigious, but BIG TIME, no. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all...Peace on Earth and pray for the soldiers who aren't home with their families on this HOLY Time of year.

Sorry, I know those schools are prestigious, but I was commenting on the BIG TIME statement. Trinity has a 252 game winning streak in squash. I wasn't making fun of them. Trinity, Wesleyan and Amherst are great schools, but I was talking about them being in the big time. Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone on the Boneyard.

Prestigious = big time. Amherst alone probably produces more executives than UCF, USF, Memphis and ECU combined.

Instantly recognizable single letter helmets include Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Minnesota, Purdue, Texas, Georgia, Hawaii, Nebraska, Stanford, Wisconsin, Temple, Northwestern, Michigan State used to have a big Block S IIRC, and that's just off the top of my head.

I don't watch as much football as I used to (College or Pro). UConn and another game or two plus highlights each week. tops. Just don't have the time. My personal favorites in terms of UConn helmets date back to when I was in college and just as UConn was making the transition. The block C is fine (#4 below) as is the current helmet, but I like #s 15, 14, and 12 better. I also wouldn't mind a combo with a logo on one side and the uniform number on the other.

Ok, fine. Williams College. Do we feel better now? The NESCAC is a very nice conference; I'd trade my UConn degree/experience for any of those schools when I went. Except Trinity!

@businesslawyer might not be pleased to read that. lol

Eh. Trinity is certainly not Amherst or Williams. On the other hand, it certainly hasn't held back my career.

Number 4 is my favorite. Why don't they list them by year, oldest to newest? Also, the two most recent helmets are missing (the ones based on the new Husky logo).

And where is 1969? Or am I just missing it?
 
I don't like the attention from Chris Carlin.

Can't see RL heading down I-95... if he makes a move. it's not 180 miles south to Jersey.

Agreed....except everyone has a plan until a big wad of $$ is waved in front of them and I mean bigger than the one he left Auburn for Uconn over. Anyway, it seems low risk, but I hate the subject anyway.

Not my graphic. It's on the Interwebs.

I don't think he was the problem. Foley, Levy, Peart changed their bodies on his watch. Like Edsall said, you gotta give him something to work with.
