I totally haven't forgot about that, and all the blocked FG attempts and the blocked extra points and..

Even still that's better than what we ever had.

At least if they were blocked they were legitimate FG attempts, not fake, fake FG attempts.

Nope. I'll be 50 this year and I regularly get stymied with names when the pressure is on. He's got 9 years on me. I give him a bye on this one. He didn't just forget the last name...he gave us Athletic Director Dave for life.

It's hard to remember someone's name when you just met them for the first time earlier this week. ;)

Yeah, for sure. Not such a bad thing. At least he got the first name right.

Couple of comments as UCONNBILL and I sat together:

Randy is much wiser and felt the time off last year let him reflect on what the accomplishments were at UCONN, seeing Sio, Darius, Jordan, Byron, etc validated the work they all did.

Unlike Soon to be FHCBD, he said one word instead of 2 minutes to get to the same point.

Randy said everyone needs to help, it isn't just him.

Word is he is going to be more open offensively, so that would be much appreciated.

He didn't come in and promise the world, he hasn't seen any tape (which I would shutoff after 10 minutes and let the players show him in the spring) so he couldn't speak about the team as currently consituted.

In the beginning, Randy sounded a little like Lou Holtz with a more pronounced lisp than I remember. Either I got used to it quickly or maybe he had cotton mouth.

Finally, he showed more emotion than any time outside of the Jazz situation. I think he will connect with today's players better than last time around and that should help in recruiting.

I was excited when I heard he was back, now I feel even better about it. In Randy We Trust!!
 
I went today.
Took my 10 year old son who only knows what I told him of the great times.
He's only seen the failure of the past 6 years.

We both heard and felt the genuineness in the room.
Things are going to be okay again because it's his baby that he needs to make right.

I was also happy that he refrained from calling this his dream job, a dream come true or anything with the word 'dream' in it.
 
i think everyone deserves a second chance, I feel confident with him at the helm, actually excited to see what he can do next season. He's certainly better than those last two idiotic coaches

Just imagine if Edsall got up there and said this... "Thanks AD Dave, President Susan, and old man McHugh. Listen folks, I'm not gonna stand up here and tell you about cooking fishcakes, or equate our defense to Batman, or say latin BS, or how Energy Vampires are going to bring down our program. I'm here to fix this place and get us winning again. Period... Any questions? Oh, and by the way- THIS is my dream job!"

Is that who the old guy was? What is his role with UCONN?

I think his recent job was to screw up the football program. He apparently was key in signing off on PP.

Others know better. I could be wrong.

OMG HE HAS TO WATCH THE TAPE.

My 7 year old daughter saw the women's score scroll by last night on ESPN and said... UConn is good at basketball but Daddy they never win at football. I said... well they hired a new coach. Her response was: GOOD! I hope he teaches them how to play better.

My daughter who is prolific at mixing up peoples' names asked about UConn's coach " Bob Debacle" one day. I almost peed my pants. True story, would swear on a bible.
