Come on. It is much better that we don't know. More of a legend that way. The facts just kill the romance of it. :)

Obviously a smartalic post. I wish I could live life the same way and I wish there were many more like him.

As was mine. :)
 
I would have made up ridiculous stories about BWK being the youngest Mega Millions winner ever or something... But I like that it's all grit and determination.
 
UConn 27 - ECU 21

Everyone in the nation scratches their collective heads. The AAC is mocked for having their only ranked team lose to the lowest team in the AAC standings. This result somehow becomes responsible for ruining our next tv contract. 26 new threads pop up that day on the Boneyard, talking about how Mike Nebrich would have made this current UConn team 7-0...

A man who truly understands the BY
Great Post
 
After watching Houston's dual threat QB Greg Ward a recently converted wide receiver go 29/33 and 268 against Temple I began to think about our Huskies. Perhaps having Fox at QB would give us the dual threat that we lack. All of the top teams have a dual threat, spread offense, perhaps that what we should try.

What do we have to lose? UCONN only has 77 points in 6 games! Our Defense has been pretty good, only allowing 154 pts for the year, so I for one wouldn't mind seeing how Fox could move the team.

Happy I don't have to wait until Saturday to see the Huskies play. Another bye week as a tough loss was brutal as was the bye week before Tulane.

If that were the case the blue & white would be full body tattoos.

This is being played on Thursday??

Good lord. Please tell me this is not on ESPN. Or even ESPN2.
 
some posters would like foxy at qb; that's too presumptuous

heck, with this current regime a manikin would be a big step forward in process
 
Forgot I had an account here. Just stopped by to say that I'm excited that we host UConn on Thursday. We won't be close to a sellout, considering it's a week night any many of our alumni live in Raleigh or further west. The crowd should be lively though. Glad to be hosting y'all rather than FAU, etc..

Thanks for sparing our feelings on the attendance estimate. In the near future this could be a compelling matchup and a great travel option for both schools fans. You've got a real fun team to watch with the potential for a top tier bowl. Hopefully we can step up our game this week and make it competitive.

24 didn't last long. Already 27.

Sounds about right. Trying to stay optimistic that we can keep it competitive, but I shudder to think how ugly this game could get.
 
This is perfect. Some of our guys can now catch the attention of the NFL scouts as they come to look at Shane Carden. Look for a big game from Geremy Davis, Byron Jones, Obi, Adams, a D Lineman or two, and a few others. Our D Backfield will be in on lots of plays--and will show off their skills. This game will be closer than the spread. We'll open some eyes tomorrow night.
UConn +27 is a great bet.
 
UConn is 0-6 against the spread and Diaco has admitted that he isn't even gameplanning for East Carolina and there are people considering this a good bet?

If they cover it's by accident.

I may have felt this way a few weeks back, but this team has kicked me in the nut sack enough already. I'll watch, but I expect us to maybe cover the spread in the first half only. This is the worst offense in our history, one of the worst in the country and we are playing a top 20 team in their building. This will not likely be our finest moment.

Can we lose big? Sure. Have we looked pathetic at times? Yes. Can we beat E Carolina? Doubtful.
But can we improve from where we've been? Can we cut down on our turnovers? Can we step it up for the scouts? I have a gut feeling we will. Of course that feeling may just be gas--but I doubt it. Look for an inspired effort.

Not sure why scouts matter. Every move they make is on film.

Not sure why it would favor one team over the other anyway. East Carolina has as many if not more players looking to impress.
 
Somehow I believe the following things (which appear to be contradictory):

1) UConn will cover
2) The game will be effectively over with 10 minutes to go in the first quarter
 
Flight from Logan to Raleigh cancelled this eve... Hoping for better luck in the morning...!
