It’s a message board and things can get taken out of context in text.You are overreacting. All he was saying is that no one on this board is rooting for 0-12 and prefacing your remark with that statement is completely unnecessary. It is the unstated price of admission here.
Since you were at the game on the UConn side and had a look at the Rice side of the stands, how close to accurate was the announced attendance of 21,000? Misplaced comma for a real total of 2,100?This was a really good UConn victory. I know it may seem like Rice played awful and that's why we won. But I just want to point out that we forced some of those mistakes. Our d-line caused multiple fumbles, even though we only recovered a couple of them.
Rice's quarterback doesn't throw many INTs. He threw an interception at the end of the game because they were down and he had to take chances. Our pressure was really getting to him. Plus I could see Rice's OC yelling at him from the other side of the field. He was really frustrated.
Even though Roberson had a rough start to the game, OC Charlton never yelled at him. In fact, I was surprised how vocal Roberson was on the sidelines since you read articles saying how quiet he is. Sitting a few rows behind the offense, I heard a fair amount of the conversations. One thing that stuck out to me was Roberson yelling, "I'm gonna make a great throw! You're gonna make a great catch!" This was after the 2nd or 3rd series early in the game.
Have a ton of notes (and pictures) from the game. Will write it up soon.

What a great post. This game deserves no asterisk. We won, they lost. Rice had every opportunity but as you stated, we were up for the challenge - made things difficult for them.This was a really good UConn victory.

Damn is this a high school field?How sweet it was! Got to believe it was all those good vibrations raining down from the stands by the vocal Husky faithful that finally got us off the schneid.View attachment 91913
