So, Who Are You Watching On Saturdays?

[tiger paw]

If you want big time football, you still have 2 options. If you live south of New Haven, Rutgers/ B1G or north of New haven you have B.C. / ACC. Otherwise it might get a steady diet of UC vs. Delaware, Old Dominion + Middle Tennessee State.

It’s going to be weird not going to the Rent on saturdays for the first time in many years. Not interested in finding another team to root for.

 

[DefCONNOne]

Lots of Southerners on that board who hated Cincinnati, Temple, and especially
UConn.

Did you have the "pleasure" of conversing with Stookey? Also, is he signed up here?

I ask because that clown had 3 accounts on CSNbbs. Including one which was, I believe, Uconn to the beast. The irony being that the team he listed as rooting for was Central CT.

 

[DefCONNOne]

No it’s actually worse. It’s basically the AAC version of 4chan.

Was your name here the same as over there? Mine was.

 

[Waquoit]

I"ll bet it was no more irrationally hostile than UConn men's only BB fans are toward UConn football.

It's over, Nick. It's over! Not football, it's in a better place. Any hope of landing a punch, I mean.

Aren't you tired from your constant victory lap?

No. I forgot what my name was.

Not until the cheap shots stop

Stookys’ two favorite teams were BC and UConn. Classic internet faux pas. I don’t think he’s here.

That was a good board under the Big East. With the AAC, it became much less fun and witty. It was like elementary school.

I’ll take a diet of UConn versus whoever rather than set foot in either of the suggested choices for a non-UConn game.

Heck, I’ll drive @Butch to Bridgewater State to watch a game versus Salve Regina before providing a $ to your other choices.

I'm going to watch thee water and the fish .. I'm not going to watch UConn play some noname school...We quit big time football...At least I can enjoy my weekends now ... I've been a UConn athletics fan since 1968, but UConn is like everything else in Connecticut. If it doesn't win we won't support it. It happened to the Whalers and now UConn. Stupid mindset

 

[HuskyHawk]

I’ll be following UConn football as long as they are FBS. That said, I’m intrigued about the Kansas Les Miles hire. Would love to see them turn it around. I generally follow Nebraska and LSU as a casual fan.

like @Chin Diesel I was a fan of those same Rams teams in the 70’s, but always rooted for the Pats too Rams moving made them dead to me and I’m all in on the Pats and now live 20 minutes from Gillette. Saints are my NFC team.

Was a Magic era Laker fan, but also liked the Celtics. Now all Celtics but I watch little regular season NBA. I’m much more interested in college hoops.

When the whalers moved I had no team. Adopted the Sharks when I lived in San Jose and Boston when I moved to the Boston suburbs.

Soccer now and then. I am a Manchester United guy, and NE Revs but it’s hard to follow closely.

Jets were my AFC team. Definite Joe Klecko fan on the sack exchange. Freeman McNeil and Wes Walker on offense.

I'm not writing off the football program. I expect to end up in a better place than the doomsayers are predicting. I'll be driving down very early from Boston to tailgate with a great group of people. And I'll stay to the end of every game. I refuse to let this move dampen my enthusiasm for Husky football. You guys can watch the Champions League, go on bike rides or tune into HGTV.

Appreciate your optimism, but your track record isn't great. I'm all in as long as we are FBS.

Yeah, well the cheap shots will stop when you stop taking your victory lap.

I love this fascination with "track record". This is an opinion board. We all express them. Sometimes they work out and are proven correct, sometimes not. Sometimes we glean information that proves to be prescient or informative, other times not. I'm one of your glass half-full posters. I'll likely be taking the more positive road. Heaven knows there are enough taking the darker more cynical path. That's not how I roll. Frankly, while some of you may be fixated on the issue, I'm not impressed with or interested in anyone's track record--except my stock broker.
