Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5332637, member: 12253"] sort of off topic, but UMass lost to Bryant this weekend. I only bring them up here because as I've read in the responses above, we all recognize that while we're not where we want to be, we are certainly not where we were. the bad press is out of our control and I now see that uconn haters on twitter and in the podcast world will ALWAYS hate uconn and seek to torpedo our chances at finding a P4 home, no matter how well we do. it's almost like it's their sole mission (collusion?) to ensure uconn football is branded with a scarlet letter, forever. conspiracy theories aside, my original point is I still use UMass as a comparison point of where we may have been today. we were surely on that trajectory when i became a fan in 2021, and honestly if we were still losing 59-3 to (pretty mediocre) teams like Syracuse today, I may have (for the first time) bailed on a football team i chose to follow. despite this past weekend, i'm happy and thankful UConn football is breathing. maybe this resurrection process is taking longer than some may have hoped (surely i'm one of those), but the husky has licked its wounds, and is now regaining its footing.
