The only way I am wrong about this being rock bottom is if it continues to get worse. I don't see that as possible, and I also hope it isn't possible because worse really is "shut the football program down" time. So let's go with this being rock bottom.

It really comes down to Diaco. He is the program's last chance, because by the time we would pull the plug on him being a failure, the program would be already dead. So he has to succeed. He has not looked good early, but it is way to early to tell if he will figure it out or not.

I truly don't get it. What an awful place to be in..........

I remember when rock bottom occurred somewhere between losing to a bad Yale team in the second game of the season and having our two best players (Cliff Robinson & Phil Gamble) declared academically ineligible about six weeks later.

Rock bottom doesn't scare me. The reality is that you need to build your foundation on something solid.

Best post in the thread.

I have experienced "rock bottom" many times only to discover that there's always further to fall. When doubt and giving up were swirling in my mind all I had to hold onto was the fact that I wasn't dead yet. "Rock bottom" is death, the end of existence. Nothing more, nothing less. I am now on the verge of a huge improvement in my personal, financial and professional lives. I feel like I just hit the lottery. "Not dead yet" is my mantra.

As it relates to UConn football, WE'RE NOT DEAD YET. Far from it. "Death" for UConn football looks to me like the following: when the payout money runs out, IF we're really completely locked out of competition with P5 programs, IF we aren't regularly dominating our conference, and IF a conference upgrade really becomes a practical impossibility (barring unforeseen/unlikely events; nobody knows the future), then the continued existence of UConn football as a competitive FBS program becomes doubtful. Until that moment, the use of "rock bottom" in the context of UConn football is just melodrama.

I'm with you Fairfield. I don't fear rock bottom because we're not dead yet.
