Springtime for Hitler (2019 Season Thoughts)

[Exit 4]

Damn damn damn damn. The weekend started for us this morning. And I SWORE I was not gonna drag my long suffering spouse to the Wagner game. Yet here I am making phone calls and rearranging plans, buying tickets online, changing the whole carefully planned weekend around. Yup, gonna take the binoculars and check out the line play on both sides of the ball, and get wrapped up like I swore I would never do again until the Huskies became competitive. If I wasn't on this board all the time either lurking or posting, this probably would not have happened. Geez, this sux ... in a good way.

Good choice

If those numbers are legitimate that’s the most damning evidence yet.

Yeah, UConn spends more than all those teams they never beat.

Two 1-11 Teams

First. Look at the UConn Football Roster and go all the way through the Staff listings. Grad Assistant & Quality Control etc. To my view, it is the deepest - by headcount - that we have been.

Then. Go to Rutgers Football Roster. Same. Comparable. They must have nearly twice the ancillary (non 10 Assistant count) Staffing as us. This is P5 Football today. Every category line item - I’m certain - has exploded. These Universities don’t know what to do with the money. Blowing through. My earlier life when my industry exploded ... suddenly every lunch was free. The firm bought 5 vacation homes in beach cities. You get the picture. The largesse becomes obnoxious. Still. They’re 1-11.

The Gap will get wider. Our AD has to smart in all the next crucial steps strategically.

Game day! What we all have been waiting for. No expectations, no disappointments. Will be watching game at Porky's Cafe in Shelton. Best wings around.

My 30th high school reunion from Shelton high is at Porky's next weekend! Great wings and perfect place to watch the first UCONN win of the season.
