Everyone complaining should do their part and attend some football games. I'll provide tickets to their first, it will only cost them their time. They will need to be willing to start attending on their own dime after that if they enjoy the product.
What do you mean we have a ton of work to do? Athletically we are far more successful than any B1G school. Academically we'd be in the middle. Like seriously WTF else do we have to do? At this point I feel like we could win the football national championship and there would be some other criteria that we don't meet to keep us out like not enough students wearing striped shirts on Tuesdays. Through this whole realignment game it's becoming clear that it's about consolidating money and power (how American) and killing off any competitors (also very American). We are a threat to the old boys club so they are going to do every last thing they can to kill us on the vine. Most of the power schools are just like small market pro sports teams collecting that luxury tax money and just stuffing it into their pocket rather than their teams.
They’re waiting to bump into you playing cornhole to divulge all their secrets.
You are absolutely correct. That is why we are contemplating which power conference offer to accept at this very moment.
The Big 10 is also a competent baseball conference that wants to be better. Its a perfect landing spot for all UConn sports. But, football is the bugaboo. Football rules the sport page. The Big 10 will be laughed at for bringing in UConn football right now.
Save face with 3 year delay for Football
I'm sorry FCF but this is nuts. Make the whiners buy their own tickets. Your giving them away doesn't help UConn. And if they don't enjoy the product already, what are they doing on this board?
It may be frivolous hope but the hope is that once they see the product they'll actually appreciate it.
Did you go to the west coast and do peyote with Bill Walton? The Big 10 has 18 schools and we’re not one of them
With Cal and Stanford. Notice how there hasn’t been a peep from them?
).What would you want them to say? We never had any control in the process. As always, our inclusion is decided by other people who have no connection with UConn. It will always be that way.
What a great attitude. Feel good?
He owes us. He got that job based on the UConn brand. Not based on his work with the FB program. He moved the needle alright!
I always have a few extra tickets to a few games that never get used! I would love to find people who would take them off my hands at no cost to them. The more people we get into the Rent for a football game the better!
Is that true? Sounds like media partners make all the final decisions, Fox didn’t have to pay a full share for two PAC schools, but did. I’m at a loss how the State has done nothing in regards to ESPN. If ESPN wanted UConn in a P5 it would happen quickly.
Diaco’s resume included previous year defensive coordinator of the year at Notre Dame. Always said “defense wins championships”. At the time it didn’t seem like an awful hire.
I'll concur, at the time giving the reigns to a young up and coming DC seemed appropriate to counter the aged and ineffective Pasqualoni. Until we realized what a nut job we had at the helm anyway. B12 invite could resurrect Civil conFLiCT, so maybe that's why UCONN has been marginalized so far

I believe DJ Hernandez would agree with you! (as they crumble brick by brick)
