There was always something off about naming Fagnano the starter...

[ZooCougar]

The media pretty much unanimously expected the starter to be Roberson. Mora/The Staff kept changing which day they made the announcement. There have been some rumblings that the selection of Fagnano was not popular in the locker room.

I want to know what really happened here.

It was never outright said but Roberson was hurt week 1

I don’t know if I buy that anymore.

In retrospect, he said all three QBs were hurt so he could pick a starter with no pressure.

It’s like Berhalter and Reyna during the World Cup. Greggg invented some phantom injury or overstated it to cover up his tracks.

No one changed the day. Arruda messed up with his tweets(shocking)

But he knows the run it twice and see if you can get lucky and convert on 3rd and 15 offense better than the others.

How convenient.

You should write daytime soaps. Is is possible to pick correctly from 3 poor options?

Well you can still pick the worst option.

I've heard that said here a few times, but now people seem to be backing off a little bit. I wonder if it was just an assumption on their part.

I think if he was hurt week 1 he would have started week 2.

People are going to need to fill me in as I was unable to watch last night, cringed a few times when every update had us further behind, and ended up paying attention to the event I was stuck attending.

One thing I did see was we moved the ball early a few times but shot ourselves in the foot. I also read that Fagnano got hut and Roberson took over but was ineffective.

Have we seen anything to lead us to believe one is better than the in physical condition each was in when the game started last night?

Well, I'll be curious to see what he can do next week with starters reps.

I also missed it for a business event. We clearly got lucky, even though we didn’t see it that way entering the evening. Don’t know that I will be able to make myself watch the replay.

Up until last night I was expecting to watch the replay as quickly as possible. From the time I got home last night, the question has been am I willing to put myself through it.

Don't watch the replay unless you are a glutton for punishment or if you are out of ipecac and need to induce vomiting.

Yeah, I doubt I’ll be able to make myself spend the time.

Think of the worst possible performance by a UConn team in the last decade and that is what you missed. UConn was the worst team of any televised game yesterday, and I watched a lot of them. If they continue like yesterday, it will be a winless season.

More recency biased hyperbole. We've played wayyyyyy worse. The difference here is that we were told this team improved over last season and a 10 pt loss to a legit P5 program seemed to support that pledge.

Lucy yanking the football out from the fanbase, for what the....fifteenth time, has everyone on the ledge.

I could just sense that there was something wrong with the team. It was worse at the Georgia State game than the NC State game. The team just did not seem as if they gave a crap hense they played like crap.

Sadly you are correct IMHO.

Can't speak of the Georgia St game but if you believe there was some lack of passion, emotion, whatever against NC St, you saw a different game than I did.

I still have the NC State game recorded I think I will watch the first and 4th quarter again. I am not a negative person when it comes to UConn sports I hope I am wrong about this season.
