Not for nothing, but hiring Paul Pasqualoni was the worst call ever made in UCONN football history.
I totally agree. And on that note I vote that we put that way behind us because we are in a much better place and that loser has no business being spoken about here. I hereby motion to do away with your profile pic. No more discussing him as he is the worst of all time.

big picture - we have to recognize the progress. just need a little time to process the lost opportunity of a big road win that was within our grasp.what would any of you have thought before the season if you were told diaco was going to have us at 2-0 within 25 yards of tying or winning the game at #22 mizzou?
im elated. do you think people werent watching us go toe to toe with them? on espn?
of course the espn narrative was "UConn makes it ugly"im elated. do you think people werent watching us go toe to toe with them? on espn?
LOL -Really, Boyle is the problem?
This. 1000x this. I would have preferred he left the offense on the field, but I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist over it. 59:30 of the game was a hard fought, decently coached affair and I'm not going to go bananas over one (admittedly) bad decision.Diaco needs to learn when to make a safe, reasonable call when the game is on the line. There was no need to get cute at that point. I'm not really livid, or numb, just a bit disappointed in how that ended.
Hook and Ladder anyone? BoiseLook at it this way. UConn football sucks, and in a sucky conference. In order for this program to become something, Diaco has to do things out of the ordinary, balls to the wall. If by some chance the 22-year-old mediocre kicker makes a 42 yarder to send it to OT against an SEC team on the road, we STILL haven't won the game. Had we converted the fake, it would be all over TV everywhere-big upset, big finish-and hopefully put UConn on the map A LITTLE BIT, AND we would be 3-0, AND we would enter the national picture a little bit.
Some play calling was questionable and situationally this team is garbage, but Diaco went all or nothing, and you have to in order to become something in college football.
What would you have thought in any of the past 10 years if you thought we'd be within 25 yards of a tie against Mizzou and we didn't have a kicker who could make a 42 yard field goal? THAT is the bigger question. Big difference. Puyol doesn't have it? Let the other guy BE THE GUY.what would any of you have thought before the season if you were told diaco was going to have us at 2-0 within 25 yards of tying or winning the game at #22 mizzou?

What do you mean? We literally went the distance with a ranked SEC team on ESPN. Absolutely awesome for UConn football, are you kidding me?You're fighting a losing battle, bud.
Kick the damned field goal and take your chances in ot. And Boyles threw a wounded duck up there. The tight end actually had the defenders by a step with a good pass. Ugh!
The fake call would have been good if he had not it twice before. - punt FG. i would have let Tarbuutt kick it and hope to live on for another 10 minutes.I'm gonna say the special teams making the trip was the problem. Hate the fake call. DO go for it or do not, None of this halfazz nonsense.
