"I've watched a ton of UConn," he added. "I feel really prepared for them. All summer long I've been looking at UConn tape from last year."[/quote]

He feels "Really prepared". Those sound like fighting words. He thinks he's better than us.

In fairness, what did you want him to say, "Holy , have you seen those guys? I am a dead man. I am petrified. I have to face one of the top D's in the country. We are doomed!"

...yes.
 
these guys are going to be really pumped, and i'm sure the coaches have spent the entire summer planning for this one so we'll probably get their best game. hopefully the disparity between talent and coaches will keep it from being at all close. i'm really interested to see how Mike Cox looks. i always like seeing guys we recruited for some reason to see how they panned out.
 
I look at this game as almost like a trap game. UConn has to come in pumped because UMass will be. This is their first 1A game, their opener and against the team they'll likely be measured against for the next decade. If we're not ready to play or are looking past them it could be a long and ugly afternoon.

Agreed. Not only that but let's stop for a second and remember, the UConn offense - until proven otherwise, starting on Aug 30th - was 1) inept, 2) low octane, 3) completely one-dimensional ("McCombs for a two yard gain on his 45th carry of the ballgame"), 4) a liability to be overcome for the defense or 5) all of the above. Hopefully that changes this season. Hopefully Whitmer will be an infusion of a passing game. But . . . let's not overlook UMass. Besides, if this QB doesn't worry anyone, I'm sure the following week will take care of that.
 
The team is not going to overlook UMass. The first game? Who's not pumped for the first game?
 
If we both play to our potential it should be a UConn blowout. But I think you could argue that most of these 1AA upsets (and UMass is a 1A team in name only at this point) happen because the better team is unprepared and expects to win in a blowout. Syarcuse & Pitt struggled against Maine and Rhode Island last year. Both won, but in very close games. We just need to be focused and not "expect" to win without playing hard. UCONN has had a pretty solid history of not playing down to thistype of team, so Let's hope that continues.

And then the game starts at night and we slaughter them.
 
I think the opener is gonna be an eye-opener for lots of folks. Other thought though . . . I hope UConn does not play it's "season's best" against UMass. The next week against a Big Boy opponent from the ACC will be a better time for the virtuoso performance. And the week after that too.

So a convincing win over UMass (need to show little brother what Big time ball is about) but not the season masterpiece. Want to win every game but . . . if UConn was to lose one out of their first three games . . . let it be to UMass. Absolutely the NC State game, followed by the trip to Maryland are the biggest games on UConn's schedule. Need to be attractive to the ACC.
 
He has the size at 6ft 5 210 lbs .. That's prototype size ... Let's hope hes not accurate. Offers from Buffalo and Easter Michigan but interest from tenn Rutgers and kansas ..sounds like an edsall recruit to me ... Also beat out a 3 star and former NC State commit AJ doyle.

have you seen the teams the ACC has found attractive lately? i don't see how winning games is going to make us attractive to a conference that just chose Pitt and Cuse over WVU
