Those of you who wanted the season cancelled last year this loss to Holy Cross is on you.

[Scoe]

Yes logically was probably the right decision last year based on the logistics.

Just the fact that the decision was rushed without a wait and see approach and not fighting for your players to have a season, I felt was a very bad message to your players and your recruits, that would’ve been the courageous thing to do.

I give Umass credit for actually trying to have a season last year, we could’ve tried to atleast attempt to have schedule a game against Umass for a trophy try something. It’s easy for anyone to say how stupid what’s the point I guarantee it would have gone a long for Edsall’s players, it wouldn’t have hurt I’ll tell ya that.

I’m pretty sure the Boneyard didn’t get a vote when the players decided not to play.

And responsibility for the HC fiasco landed right where it should have: 2.0’s head.

I love you Scrotum, but that's a bad take.

 

[Bongo Fury]

The only positive is no one got hurt. UMASS did it supposedly without spending any money.

Yep we were going to be world beaters until that happened.

I blame skipping last season on the poor PA/Stadium/Band/Dance Team operations.

 

[TRest]

I guess on this board the players will never factor into a loss.

 

[BugsyCT]

Stupid us - we thought a pandemic actually transcends the importance of playing a handful of football games. Guess we have to eat crow on this one since we're in charge of what UConn's athletic department decides to do or not.

This board.....wow.

 

[storrsroars]

What's UMass's excuse? They played last year. Did they get better going 0-4 while being outscored 161-12?

 

[Palatine]

Who looked bigger, stronger, faster and better conditioned, UConn or Holly Cross (which played 4 games)?

Actually we did. But the coaching discrepancy was wider than that advantage.

 

[arch]

I guess we’ll just have to live with it.
Yes, I surly can do that.

 

[ZooCougar]

How many other teams went to their HC and asked to cancel the season?
