-> Because of the new iPads that allow coaches to view film on the sideline during games, the full game is available immediately after it ends. Mora will typically begin his review in the car as his wife, Kathy, drives them home.

But Saturday was different; Mora needed to gather himself before he could begin the process of moving on to the next game, against Rice. <-

-> “But I want to get to a point as a team where that doesn’t even matter,” he said. “And I think we’re capable of doing that. I mean, we fight and we scratch and kick and our guys don’t give up and we’re in those games. We gotta find a way to win them. To win them without relying on an official – who’s doing the best he can – to make a call.” <-

And losing a toe nail is nothing. Ski racers do that every season because they use narrow boots that are very reactive.

But, as soon as the racers stop at the finish, they reach down and unclick their boots. As an aside, I'm friends with an Olympic Gold Medal winner in the downhill. I asked her if, now that she's retired, if she free skis with her boots tight or loose. It's loose. She said very loose, like wearing a sneaker,

I think it’s funny that someone actually thinks that skiing without a toenail is the same thing as playing football without one after you drop a weight on your foot.

Of course, which is why I wait a long time between buying new boots now. So what if the liners pack out? But even in my masters years, right toe nail every year. For some reason not the left. I will concede, the way Nick Evers lost his is probably way different. Guessing he got it stepped on HARD and he lost it pretty quickly. Probably a lot more painful than what most ski racers experience which is gradual by comparison.

And after 4 games, the RF turf looks fantastic, both on the playing field and all the way around it to the stands! Love our UConn ag heritage showing off there! :-)
