Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3194432, member: 5798"] .......................................and will be until the football program can PROVE otherwise with a CONSISTENT increase in the number of wins [U]every year[/U] against top 25 programs, not substandard cupcakes. Right now, the news media IS NOT talking about UConn football. UConn is not on their radar. Right now UConn is a fledgling program struggling to stay afloat. There is nothing that program is doing that excites or raises the interest in local area college FB fans. We certainly don't hear anything about UC football here on the west coast. Was there any interest in the Cleveland Browns before Baker Mayfield got there, and they started winning FB games? No!! They had a 19 game losing streak. :( Looking at some of the [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/41/season/2018']final scores from last season[/URL], they won't be generating any fan interest any time soon. Judging from their performance of last year, they have nowhere to go but up. Remember what [B]Bill Parcels[/B] said about records. 1-11 says it all. When they turn that around to 11-1 (and maintain it for 5-6 years), then they can't call themselves a football school. Until then, like [B]Mike Wilbon[/B] says daily on PTI, "get that stuff outta here". I'm not hating on UConn football. My observation is generic. This can be said about ANY college football program. You don't get accolades and a parade down Main Street for winning one game all year. If you take a beating on the field, you can expect to take one in the media as well. Fans will only support losing for so long. If you're a true football school (Alabama, Clemson, Oregon, Texas, Florida St, Oklahoma USC, etc, You don't have to announce it to the sports world, they already know it. ;) [/QUOTE]
