It was the best home game I've been too since USF 07.
He has proven he can get players to work hard and play up to or above their talent level.
He still has plenty of work to do in regards to his gameday coaching skills.
He has proven his defensive knowledge is real.
He is ours, I think, for at least 2 more years.
Braved the Chilly weather? It was great weather considering It was Nov. 21. I was a bit disappointed with the size of the crowd. We made up for it with the noise level though. Great win, I would have to say it kept us on the edge of our seats but most of us were standing the whole game.Just finished watching the game. Team showed tremendous character. Fans that braved the chilly weather till the very end got their money's worth tonight. UConn football is officially back.
I dunno, but it's pretty nice.
1) It officially puts a stake in the heart of the Coach P era. It's over and done with - still struggles ahead, but the stench is gone.
2) The "Wait, UConn's bowl-eligible?" thought that's dawning on the program's media critics makes me happy.
Wow, Fishy, nice insight. And well put. A stake in the heart of the P. era.
I remember when our best win was Akron.
Houston is top ten. Beating USF to make the Fiesta Bowl is my #1. ND, USC, Motor City Bowl, #2 USF , WVU finally, Iowa State was a statement win.
I think the Rent opener against Indiana was a darn good win as well. We really thumped them.That's a good list. I'd only add one sleeper -- the Big East home opener victory against Pitt in '04. That was also a "wow, we really can do this" moment in the way that Iowa State was.
I think, just from how he's spoken with the media, that he's actually happy at UCONN. It would be huge for his legacy if he took us to a P5 conference and continued to succeed there.
