I love how Mets fans have so little to cheer for with their team that year after year, they celebrate anyone who beats their rivals. Bobby Bonilla Day is fast approaching, friendo.

Bobby Bonilla day is now the standard. Dodgers have almost a billion on the books in deferred compensation.

Dodgers deferred payroll total rises to $915.5M

The 28-year-old was a first-time All-Star last year

So many of those numbers are attributable to upgraded linebacker play this season. Even with Mitchell, the past two years were brutal for LB play.

Probably the best weather you could have for a Friday night tailgate and game AND all beers discounted? Life is good!

-> … UConn redshirt sophomore running back Cam Edwards of Norwalk needs 23 yards for 1,000 in his career. He had only 11 yards on eight carries last Saturday against Rice but his fourth-quarter touchdown helped UConn to a 17-10 win. ... Georgia State redshirt junior wide receiver Darius Bush played in five games over two seasons for UConn before transferring after playing in one game in 2022. The Savannah, Georgia native has one catch for a minus-six yards -- against Old Dominion on Oct. 12 -- on the season. ... UConn has eight players from Georgia on its roster: Rante Jones (Atlanta), Aaron Key (Decatur), Mel Brown (Stone Mountain), Jarvarius Sims (Decatur), Jayden McDonald (Suwanee), Isiah Davis (Fairburn), Valerian Agbaw (Powder Springs), and Jack Barton (Alpharetta). <-

Pretty good advertisement to Georgia recruits to leave the state for UConn!! Very fertile recruiting grounds. Looks like about 40% GA kids on roster, maybe slightly less.

Concerning the Portal era. When you see a kid on another team you covet(no this is not about Bundalo), are they approached directly or is there some sort of secret back channeling that goes on? Prior to this, that would have been tampering, not sure how the rules read now.

TJ has done a great job returning punts and catching passes. He has been a great upgrade to our roster.

UConn football vying for bowl eligibility with win over Georgia State on Friday night: What to know

When they play in their final home game on Friday night, UConn football seniors will have a chance to clinch their second bowl appearance in three years. And, with a revived set of standards, they …

-> “It was ugly, but we got the win,” said Skyler Bell, UConn’s leading receiver. “Obviously, we’ve got a lot of stuff to clean up, a lot of stuff to work on. We can’t be keeping the defense on the field like that, especially when they’re playing games like that. We’ve got to be able to move the ball and flip field position and get points, if not six, then three.” <-

-> “I don’t think we ever lost confidence or felt like we were in a slump running the ball,” Mora said. “I don’t think we felt like it, I’m sure it appeared like it and statistically it looked like it, but I don’t think our attitude was that we were in a slump. But I truly believe that once Durell made that run, we broke some other runs… The hope is that we’ve learned what we need to do better and we can apply it going forward in the run game.” <-

I tried messaging Benedict on Twitter about why I have to cut my tailgate short to go get discounted concessions prices. When every other promotion like this runs until the end of the 1Q. No answer.

The younger ones want as much discounted popcorn as they can get. But the adults would rather eat chili cheese dogs and lobster bisque in the parking lot and walk in for kickoff.

A true dilemma. First world problems.

This combo seems to be their chosen favorite for home games.

Pretty sure the point is to get people in their seats before kickoff. Extending the offer past kickoff would be counterproductive.

Going to need the run game. May be difficult to throw with the wind

Very true. I no longer hold my breath when the other team punts the ball and our punt returner gets underneath the ball.

A few posts have been dedicated to this issue previously.

Go Huskies.

Why on gods green earth is Evers starting again?

If Evers faulters during the game, hopefully we see Fagnano come off the bench to light it up and make a great last impression for the home crowd on Seniors Night. At this point, I just want to see UConn win and to get bowl eligibility.

Please get off to a good start for once how about pts on the first drive even a fg, and how about a TD in the first half.
