-> After the loss Saturday, Mora raised some eyebrows in saying he would not allow the UConn program to descend back to where it was. This gave the cynical their chance to say, “too late, it already has.” ESPN confirmed that, in its way, by dropping UConn back among the 10 worst programs in FBS football.

It’s hard to believe that could happen so quickly, after the Huskies opened the season with high hopes and put forth a respectable effort against NC State. But UConn is in a unique, tricky place. It labors under the illusion that the school can score a power-conference invitation by winning this game, or that (even though it doesn’t work that way), or on the other hand, should consider dropping football to FCS, or altogether, by losing this game, or that (even though that’s not happening).

Tough way to run a program, but it’s where UConn is, and must start this week to play itself up and out of the dark place into which it has fallen. If the Huskies can play as well against Duke as they did against NC State, that would be a start. <-

The guy is right. Our mentality has every game balancing between P5 and shutting program down.

Just when we thought we'd seen the last UCONN sighting of ESPN writer Ryan McGee's Bottom Ten column, we're back in at number 10. Bottom 10: Tennessee gets stuck in The Swamp again

Although you have to admit it, McGee can write and has some funny takes. The Pillow Fight of the Century Game with UMESS has gotten old though.

Just when we gain momentum with the program, we get sucked right back in to being an afterthought in the college football dumpster fire column. We can't be here every week in 2023. Need wins starting against the Dookies this Saturday. Maybe the torrential rains help.

Need to get McGee focusing his attention against other dumpster fires.
Too bad McGee couldn’t have mentioned NC State just barely beating winless Virginia yesterday. Refs did all they could to help NC State.

....well so far 1 1/2 quarters in, and things don't look promising.
Down 17, and Duke on UC 22. A stop is imperative.
