Side note. Yakiri Walker transferred from UConn to Colorado this past offseason and was initially expected to earn the Buffaloes’ starting center job. Hank Zilinskas earned that role instead, and it appears Walker, a junior, has moved on from Colorado.

I wouldn't mind getting him back.

Let’s be clear — I do not hope Evers ”gets hurt.” What I saw at the end of the game at UAB was him smiling after the comeback, shaking hands with teammates and walking under his own power.

I don’t root for the other team’s star player to get hurt in a game. That’s not the same as hoping he doesn’t play because he’s banged up in some way. Hoping that Evers isn’t at 100% and can’t play because of an injury he suffered that wasn’t interfering with him walking around enjoying the comeback is nowhere near saying I hope he or anyone else gets injured or hurt.

And I am perfectly willing to die on that hill if no one else sees it that way (although it’s clear that many others see it the same way).

Just own it and move on.

You have been giving people crap by selectively parsing words for as long as I’ve been a lurker here. You were called out using the same game you play routinely.

You don't know the difference between fact and opinion. Fagano came in and threw 3 TD's after more than a week off. The timing seemed fine to me. Healing time and prep time triumphs "timing" here. IMO, of course.

Actually it seems that I do know the difference between fact and opinion. That was against Buffalo. The week before was not a bye week.

Better to use the Wake example which did involve a bye week. An extra week to heal and yet they came out flat and stunk against Wake. And yes, their timing was off for almost the whole first half.

Do we have to have the discussion of Fan Boys vs. Analysts again? Analysts try to see things as they are and are not worried about being Mr. Positivity. I thought you lived through that discussion with the rest of us.

That is just a little harsh to say about one of the most objective posters here.

As someone pointed out in this thread, Syracuse’s best defensive unit is their secondary. It is stout.

It makes sense for UConn to start Fagnano, to keep the second level defenders off the line of scrimmage and back in the secondary. That way we can push the Canadians’ front line back to Montreal.

But, as all of you know, Evers will play and the box will be stuffed which hurts our run game.

LOL. I quoted my post and his post. You can’t tell the difference between a quote and parsing? Get smarter.
