Is this saying game time is 1:30 and they're in Central time or is the thread title wrong? What a bizarre game time and I forgot that the AAC plays on ESPN+ mostly....grrrr

More fun trivia, we won the last time we played in Birmingham.

Not only that, it was perhaps the best game in program history. Top 3, at worst.

Those unis are absolutely fire

Not crazy about the helmets this year. Looks like a different blue and the Husky logo just doesn't work. That said, first world problems. Get a W!

Yeah, after the redesign, we drifted away from "national flag blue" to a lighter blue. Still like the uni this year, but I do prefer the darker blue colors.

Just saw four UConn busses on Rt 44 in Coventry. I'm guessing that would be the team heading towards Bradley.

I agree about the logo. That said, a slightly larger Husky logo on the white helmet as shown in the above Us vs Them post would look so much better. I hope those kids treat themselves to a 7th victory this weekend.

Agreed. There's just too much space the way it currently looks. Also the blue Block C on the white helmet looks good too.

Trying to be an optomist but I got a bad feeling on this one. I guess its because we are on the road.

 

[Scoe]

Let's get off to a good start we need to go for it on 4th and 1 in opponent territory more often especially on the road.

It bothered me when we didn't do that against Ga State on their 37 extending the game the added 2 minute warning makes that decision all the more reason to go for it. Stop acting like a risk of 1 yard is equivalent to jumping off a building snap the damn ball and go.

Yup…

I was a little nervous about this game until I saw the ceremonial "Us vs Them" post from the AAC. Don't they know what happens every time they post this nonsense against us?

We win...

Hung up my beer mug 35 years ago but thanks, I needed that.
