UCONN - BC Game Thread

[champs99and04]

I'm mad at myself for not being there.

Not as mad now.

 

[Forte]

This is the biggest bunch of bullcrap I've ever read on this board. By far.

How is that Bull crap? Enlighten us..

waiting for the very moment we start trailing. so like every game by 3 minutes in, for the last 6 years?

Sure, if you say so.

Feel free to look at this thread and tell me when you, Sweet, and a couple others popped onto the scene. Its funny how you all wait until the outcome is safely a loss, because you don't want to embarrass yourselves by saying the nonsense in a game we can still win. Its like clockwork...

So Dixon going to get nailed for domestic violence - is that’s what you are saying? Just kidding. Great kid from New London -hopefully Edsall can keep similar guys home going forward - but there won’t be many that good.

Who is Dixon?

Your criticism of the players' character and effort is just complete baloney. I'm sick and tired of miserable, balding middle-aged insurance salesmen lounging on their couches spreading lies about the players' attitudes. Sickening.

We're getting outplayed by a much better team tonight. Maybe we could have kept it close with some better blocking and without the screwups like guys running into each other or dropping TD's but Pindell has taken some hits and hasn't quit. He'll get better if we can get better as a team.

 

[Stinger92860]

AD Dave, not that the outcome would be different, but don't ever give up a home game again.

 

[TheJerk]

This is disheartening to the core. So hard being a UConn football fan. I just don't see much improvement late into this season. Uncharacteristic of an Edsall team.

I actually disagree, remember how last year ended. Think of the small groups of decent play this team has had, and with younger players. Not saying its great, but I cant imagine where we would be if Diaco was still in charge

I'm not balding... though i guess early 30's is mid life. Any how where is your proof that they are playing hard and you're assuming I don't know what I'm talking about with players attitudes...

 

[BlueDogs]

How are so many people not familiar with the quality of BC's team last year...you would think they were supposed to be Little Sisters of the poor given the commentary here.

Not talking about BC. I'm talking about indicators of improvement that we can control.

Because it's true - you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Alum86]

Our players have not quit. That is evident. Stair is right.

I don't think I have posted on here in over a year smarty pants

Improvement is nearly impossible to be gauged against this level of competition.

It's better than Diaco no doubt. I'm
Talking about season growth.

Did you really say Pindell was worse than D. Williams earlier? You ought to be put in the time-out corner.

Edsall had already said it before: the current squad can win but the margin for error is almost zero. No turnovers. No missed tackles. No missed field goals. When you have a bunch of those things on the same night, you get scores like tonight.

The entire first quarter showed that we COULD do it. The rest of the game showed why we haven't consistently done it...

 

[BlueDogs]

Red zone conversion. Missed tackles. Missed take seats. Quite assessable.

And you picked right now to do it. I would say that shows that I'm a VERY smarty pants, wouldn't you?

 

[Forte]

Because it's true - you don't know what you're talking about.

Well since you said so I guess I'll take your word for it. I guess Buffalo and Tulane were just THAT good. I doubt the players cheered when PP was fired...

 

[TheJerk]

I think it speaks more to the "character" of the players that were recruited in the past

 

[Exit 4]

I’m not that mad. We don’t have the offensive line to compete. It all starts there. I think only Peart is assured of his job next year. Even the much praised Van Demark could lose his spot if he doesn’t make the next step in spring ball.

I don’t think we are being out coached at all in this game. We don’t have the talent at many positions around the field, but particularly we don’t have a 240 lb RB headed for the NFL.

This game might be even if we had Dillion.

 

[Adios]

I'm not balding... though i guess early 30's is mid life. Any how where is your proof that they are playing hard and you're assuming I don't know what I'm talking about with players attitudes...

If early 30s is mid-life to you, my condolences.

Can't believe we lost this Dillon kid to BC. Now CT recruits (and Massachusetts recruits) get to see which school between the 2 has better support.

 

[TheJerk]

And you picked right now to do it. I would say that shows that I'm a VERY smarty pants, wouldn't you?

not really. By your theory I would be on here all the time because this program is terrible. Instead I sit inside of a stadium BEFORE kickoff and stay until the end.

Like I do as well, being a season ticket holder and all. But I'm not...a Jerk...
