The View From Section 241 — Buffalo

what are you even talking about? All of our games are televised this year. Rice and FAU will likely be ESPN+ because they’re in the American, BC will be on an ACC network channel, and all our home games are on CBSSN

This thread has some of the dumbest BY posts ever. Per UConn website:

Yes... because they are TBD games, the TV coverage is not listed. Both are AAC games... they could be on an ESPN linear network (unlikely, but possible) or they will be ESPN+.

They'll be available to watch...

This thread collected a rare group of so many low basketball IQ posters in one place. Those who root against a home state RB, who averages 4.8 yards per carry and has scored 17 TDs and say whenever he touches the ball something bad happens.

@ZooCougar clueless about business take. Let’s take the 4th Dallas FW (SMU) and 6th Houston (UH) TV markets in the country back in UConn’s AAC days and have games on TV at 11am for those markets. And if someone who did business in Texas for years thinks it’s a bad idea, make a fool of yourself defending the 11am TV games.

You mean last season he had no fumbles when he basically didn’t play because he was 4th string and injured?

Amazing. No fumbles during a redshirt year.

He has 6 career fumbles in basically two seasons of play. That’s a ball security issue.

He has zero fumbles the last 10 games. His body is totally different than it was as a freshman/sophmore. Rarely does a freshman running back carry the load like he did. If you did your homework (which u don’t) you would know that. And you take a dumb take - he had 2 turnovers a season as a running back who had 14 TDs in those combined season and a 4.7 yard per carry during those two seasons.

ESPN+ isn’t TV. It is subscription and streams on a Smart TV using the ESPN app, streaming apps such as Hulu etc . True teams that don’t make real TV call it that, but it is what it is.

In this day and age... not every game is going to be on linear, even the men's basketball team played 3 games on Peacock last year and the Big East's contract calls for 25 regular season, all first round and the early quarterfinal games in the Big East tournament to be streamed.

It is what it is, it's overflow for games that wouldn't have otherwise been televised; better than having no coverage at all, on the bright side AAC ESPN+ production (for football only) is handled by ESPN, so it should be better than the mediocrity that some C-USA broadcasts have brought. It's also a vehicle that some media companies have used to offer slightly more money to conferences in exchange for the conference agreeing to put some more desirable content behind the paywall to drive subscriptions.

This has been debunked above. I'm so sick of Victor's little pack NVL fanboys crying about his lack of touches.

LOL. You have won the Chief v Zoo exchange. Chief has come out of nowhere and fallen from the sky outta the BB Board.
Rosa can be dynamic, but my heart is in my throat when it’s pitched to him. There is a place for him but not at 1 or 2 RB.
( just to be clear though, Bristol Central not NVL.)
 
Rosa looks like a better runner this year than his freshman year, stats don't show that. Not sure why he is getting so much less burn, seems to cut up field much better. Others are just better or Mora and team have other issues (fumbles, blocking). Nice to have two backs better than Rosa, things happen in games, he will get his chance to show out. It's a long season to go.

Tell that to the conferences, who call streaming "TV"

I can't help route for a local kid to get more touches. And to your point, he's had some great runs with the ball. That said, we don't see everything that the coaches see, and I'm sure they have a reason for not giving him more burn. Still, as a fan it's frustrating not to see him have more opportunities.

Sort of but remember that the #1 back is also a Connecticut kid. I realize he’s from Norwalk which is in Fairfield County and 50% of the residents of Fairfield County don’t even realize they live in Connecticut and 40% of the rest of the state don’t realize Fairfield county is part of the State, but still facts is facts. LOL

Sounds like you are glued to TV or streaming for much of your day.
In my case, I usuallly don’t turn on a TV until early evening and that’s when I want to relax and say what I want to watch to the remote and that’s the extent of the effort. I said that way back in this thread. I am working on an AI related project at work so my understanding of technology probably far exceeds the fact you are proud of using ESPN+.

So many here are far detached from the realities of 2025 D1 major College sports and just because others here with the same level of understanding agree with you, it seems to validate in your mind your clueless takes.

Edwards is a fine back as I said from the very start in this thread. I have never argued who should start. Nothing anyone has presented aligns more with the downward trajectory in Rosa touches than the change in RB coaches. Rosa’s results per touch have not changed, he just has less touches.

In this day and age coaches communicate to players at the end of every season playing time expectations. Since his results per touch have not change, draw your own conclusions. Since his results are as good as in the past per touch / who did not keep their side of the bargain?

So your heart in your throat if we pitch to a guy who is averaging 7.3 yards per carry this season and 4.8 yards for his career. Again his body changed a lot in the last 4 years but even his freshman year he had a lower % of fumbles lost per touch than the team. You have to lack critical thinking skills not to recognize that.

Because I know how to find the ESPN app that 85M households have?

You’re incredibly special Chief.

Also the Calculator app on your PC is not AI.
