UConn opens as 33 point underdog at Utah State in Week 0

Right on the money. The Mensah remark was a throwaway. Just overlook it. Not that it matters but I predicted 3 Ws awhile back simply on the basis of the coaching change. So I feel somewhat vindicated and less susceptible to criticism from the fanboy wing of the board now.

What are the other wings, besides the “fanboy” wing? Just curious

We can’t bet on UConn here in the People’s Republic of CT. At least legally. But good luck from this Superfan. It’ll be 28-0 quick I.m.o. But hope I am wrong.

No kidding, Sherlock. That's why I pulled off the highway special during my recent road trip.

New head coach Jim Mora Jr. is a good head coach who knows what he’s doing, but it’s going to take an all-timer of an effort just to get this season off the ground much less be competitive in most of the games.

All-time coaching efforts seem to be in UConn’s dna. Calhoun, Geno, Penders, Valentino, Cav, etc.

To be fair, many if not all states that allow betting on college football don’t allow betting on the locals. New Jersey didn’t allow betting on Rutgers. It may have changed, but for a long time Nevada didn’t permit betting on UNLV.

The guy at Penn National said yes to betting locals in PA, no in NJ.

Earlier in this thread I think I labelled the other wing as the realistic analysts (for lack of a better term).

I think the realistic analysts could be defined as those who predicted 3 wins or less for the 2021 season. I would have to find that preseason poll that we did back then, but I suspect the realistic analysts are only 25 percent of the membership.

Bigger, faster, stronger. Remember?
