CBS now has us in the Fenway Bowl against VA Tech. Very interesting that as the week has gone on, more and more people are projecting either Pinstripe or Fenway

My oldest is a Jr at Tech. This would be a nuclear event in my household.

Also - Pop Watson, their 3rd string QB, just torched UVA. As a UConn fan, this would be a very tough matchup.

The scribe we love to hate as been surprisingly quiet about UConn football lately, I wonder why ^_^. Meanwhile he wrote smack about our mens hoops:
Unless, of course, in the name of winning, UConn has sold its soul and shall permit its head men's basketball coach to openly swear at officials in a very personal way. It's one thing to curse about a bad call. It's another to get personal. Which Hurley does. And continues to.
...
We've witnessed miracles here during consecutive national championships. It's hard to imagine the UConn players showing more poise and grace over the last two years. Especially when their head coach has none. Zero.

Awww, is poor Mickey sore that his beloved thunderchickens can't any hardware in basketball??? At least Hurley isn't throwing chairs at people;)

Well, Boca vs. UNC felt like a bit of a longshot.

However, 247Sports has now switched their prediction of UConn vs Arkansas St in the 68 Ventures Bowl to UConn vs Pitt in the Fenway Bowl. So there are now at least six different media outlets currently predicting us in the Fenway Bowl - (4 vs Pitt, 2 vs. VA Tech). I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat. To be considered for a P4 conference, it helps to be in the company of other P4 schools.

The only thing more overrated than a lucky blackjack player is the Boca Raton Bowl.

Part of it is me selfishly wanting to go somewhere warm to see the bowl game. Fenway and Pinstripe will bring so many bandwagon fans who will ask me stupid questions like “where’s Jaxon Mitchell” and “why don’t we play the Wisconsin kid he’s an 80 in NCAA. Football 24” or the best yet “Victor Rosa should be playing he’s the best RB on the roster.”

Go screw. Take your uninformed questions and go play on the train tracks.

She was real and her daughter was a fashion model - yes I have an eye for talent. No, she was not interested in a rather athletic looking CTBasketball.

Getting another big turnout in NYC in yet another sport would be terrible.
 
I don’t see the drive for Fenway. It is a lousy layout for the teams as both are on the same side. In addition the seating on temporary bleachers give less than a big time atmosphere
