DiMauro: UConn-BC has become just another game ... and a bad one to boot

 

[DoctorWho85]

Well...he isn't wrong

 

[J187Money]

Ouch. But can't argue with it.

 

[UCFBfan]

Wow that was actually spot on. The only issue I had with it was his 10-7 score. That requires us to actually score a TD....I'm envisioning a score similar to the Jets - Rams.... 9-6

 

[The Viking]

There is no way BC doesn't put up at least 2 TD's on our defense. That's how lowly I think of our defense. Temple could have scored 5 TD's on us except for two end zone picks. To put it bluntly our defense sucks. Hopefully we find a way to come up with some big stops somehow. I'll be there, sadly.

 

[Redding Husky]

It seems like I've been waiting half my life for this game. And now I'll probably learn the score in the Sunday paper.

Thanks Diaco!

 

[freescooter]

How come he left out Warde? He hired Diaco...and Ollie

 

[BugsyCT]

Truth, but I still want to win it badly.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Had tickets, but decided not to take the bus up from NYC. Being at BC, seeing the ACC logos all over the place and the getting out azzes kicked to boot just wasn't appealing anymore.

@Redding Husky said it best. We've waited years for this game and now big time fans don't even want to go. What a sad state of affairs.

NO spitting match here with anyone, actually agree with most everything on this topic except big time fans don't want to go. Like many I have waited for this for years and along with what really constitute as
BIG TIME FANS will be there. Again no slander, I understand there are several levels of fandom but big time or hard core are for those that never waver regardless of the situation / of their team.
As for labeling any lesser degree of a fan it could run from only if the team is winning to fair weather...

 

[JMick]

I won't even be watching. Dad has surgery to remove a tumor tomorrow, will be in the hospital all weekend. Thank you Diaco for not making me wish I could see this game.

Yeah. I mean I guess I'm just not a big time fan anymore.

Had season tickets from 2005-2014 and went to Charlotte, Toronto, Birmingham and Phoenix, but at this point I'd rather just watch on TV. Not worth wasting my whole weekend anymore.

If I gotta turn my die hard card in, then so be it.

Good luck to your Dad!

You want a cookie Mr. Big Time fan?

 

[JMick]

Good luck to your Dad!

thanks man. All should be good, still a little nerve-racking.

Do you know the difference between minor and major surgery? Minor surgery happens to someone else's Dad!

hahaha isn't that the truth! I've had more surgeries than he's ever had and never thought anything of it. Now that I'm on the other side I don't know how he dealt with it. Here's to hoping he comes out without a tumor just missing a foot of intestine lol

 

[Milo65]

Truth, except I don't see how UConn scores 7 pts.

 

[Adios]

Bob Diaco is historically bad. One of the worst coaches ever in UConn history. Will likely finish with a lower winning percentage than Pasqualoni. I go to games to have fun and enjoy a good game. Not to watch someone's complete stupidity and ruin our rep.

Besides, the less people, the quicker Diaco goes.

 

[Nostical]

Well, despite reading all the reasons and rationalizations not to go (and I understand the angst) I'm going to the game and bringing 9 other family members. Why? For our players. For their families. For Husky nation. For payback to BC and to show that UConn football matters in New England--because it does. Competing in and winning this game will be glorious for me. And who knows-- maybe Donovan Williams will shake off his first game jitters and give an eye opening performance and I'll be there to witness it. I get it. We're struggling. Its a hassle to go. And it's tough to fathom our future. But that's the point. It's easy to support the Huskies when times are good. Bottom line there's no way I'd miss this game.
p.s. JMick good luck to your Dad!

I would have liked this 9 times but we are only allowed one at a time.

You better leave early to beat all the traffic.

 

[Jimdish255]

The only good news given the fact that this game won't appear on a single cable box is that BC can't claim they're moving any needle in their huuuuge market. Of course some message-board jackass will claim they're using BC to build the new ACC digital network footprint.

Right.On.The.Money

Prediction: 0 - 21. You heard it here first.

 

[31GuardTrap]

Riding the bus up to Chestnut Hill by myself. I hate BC with a passion. I expect to lose my voice. I love UConn Football. We are winning this game. We have to.
That's all.
