[Carl Spackler]

Pretty sure pads won't go on til later in the week, but if you're real quiet...you can almost hear them now.

Crack.............Crack...............Set.....go.......crack........

 

[CTMike]

I'm pumped for April 21.

they are scheming for us 2 years advance down in texas. click crack

That faint sound in Storrs, the sound of a wild man screaming just beyond the reach of your ear to pick out where and what it is........Somewhere in the depths of the UConn football facilities....Don Brown is warming up his voice.

You had me going with the first part. Then that last part almost ruined it.

they are cleeping on us out in ohio and down in florida. they have no clue the storm that is brewing in new england.

 

[Carl Spackler]

That faint rumbling, crunching and cracking sound they here in the distance down there, and out there, far away, won't be thunder......it'll be the pads.......the storm brewing in New England....I like that......

Couple days......that's all it is til fall. Got to put the work in now though.

[OHusky]

Starting QB announced at noon. QB controversy over under 10 minutes after noon

I'm going to pretend that this is a pretty funny joke.... otherwise I worry about you.

I like whichever newcomer to the team is 4th on the depth chart and am convinced that he is secretly the best in practice week in and week out... but never gets time with the 1st team to prove himself.

saw on twitter that santos and sylva might be coming down to practice this weekend or sometime soon. they are going to room together when they get here this summer.

 

[uconnflyer88]

from the pictures that the Courant provided, it looked as though all the new guys did not have the block C on their helmets....is this new or was it always done like this?

 

[cu73etr]

Must have come from the Cowboys. Didn't they used to have the rookies "earn" the star??? Not a bad idea. Anything to up the competition. Haha. Think we can keep the big east logo off the field until they give us a schedule?

 

[BNich]

Some encouraging news and notes from Dez on twitter from today's practice.

Seriously folks? If there are no injures don't worry about running back #UConnFootball

Been looking for tidbits on the first practice. Could not find anything other than what people post on twitter. Am I going to be forced to sign up for the nonsense that is twitter in order to get timely updates?

I yearn for the good ole days when a simple blogpost was the hot new thing.

 

[Mr Blueskin]

Maybe metsfan can give us some updates from his dormroom window or is he down in Port St Lucie for spring training?

Sweet thanks for the link. Been looking for some. Wondering how some of the guys frosh and sophomores especially have filled out added bulk and weight during their first semester or first year and a half at school.

 

[UConnDan97]

My post should have read "Here are some photos", not "Here's some photos". Some might not correct themselves on fan-sites, but I went to UConn, and we're just better than that...

...GO HUSKIES!!!

(plus, I don't want any troll from BCU saying, "Ha, ha!")
