Nobody’s making you watch the games chief. If it’s really making you this unhappy, find something else to do. We will miss your wit and wisdom on the board, but we can struggle through the rest of the season without you.

So if the basketball team came out like garbage starting the year going 1-12 would you advocate cancelling that season as well? You play because you have pride, and hopefully a set of balls. You cancel football mid season in a non Covid Year you might as well cancel all other sports as well. The entire AD would be finished for a decade.

It’s a lot easier to turn a basketball team around than a football team

I wondered why someone with only 60 posts was a member for 10 years and was so negative (kind of a jackwad) so looked up your posts and here is the 1st two lines of your post of almost exactly 10 years ago:

"Let's face it.....on offense we have a terrible passing game with below average players and bad schizo playcalling. Hard to remember a more frustrating watch."

See you again in 2031.

Wow - captain negative himself does a deep dive to out another negative. This place is special.

Nice work.
 
I confess, I certainly felt the same as the OP today, but then you think about the year off and how that did nothing for this squad and how in the second half today at least the D and the O got quality practice and might have done some growing today. I know- don’t bother sending the arrows about “partner in practice” nonsense. I realize how that sounds- but partners in practice is where we are at this September. Maybe after another game of “practice” we can really compete again. Can’t get better if you don’t play. Can’t get better playing just yourselves.

Umm, because what we are watching is the result of taking off last season?????

The Ivy League took last season off, not real football teams. Shame on UConn for not trying harder to play some games last season. The rest of the country did and, well . . . they are still all here.
 
Honestly the second half of the game and seeing TP making plays with his legs, has given me a glimmer of hope. Not that we'll when any games but that we'll continue to improve and get competitive by the end of the season

Try reading what you write and you won't be able to say that anymore.

Seems like Clemson might be having a down here by their standards. They’ll still destroy UCONN. Wish I could go. Awesome place and that area of SC looks special. TP could play against his brother.

and some of the best BBQ right down the road too

Exactly. Even in the first half there could've been some big plays if not for drops.

UConn won the 2nd half 21-10. I don't care if it was against Army's 2nd string. I don't think Edsall/Giuffre's offense does that. They brought in Mazzone, listened to him, installed some of his stuff, put in some new personnel, and got at least some results from it.

I'm looking forward to the next game.

Agree I'm excited too..

Basketball didn’t cancel their 2019/2020 season because of a virus with a <1% mortality rate.

Absolutely no attack here but sometimes facts are left out of some comments. It should be mentioned on why their season was ended short of a tournament or two.
They finished the season 19–12, 10–8 in AAC play to finish in a tie for fifth place. Their season ended when the AAC Tournament and all other postseason tournaments were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
<1% mortality rate. Must have been in question. ;)

@Woof 101 you should charge him for that lesson.

Why not cancel the basketball, hockey, baseball and soccer seasons, too? I'm sorry but that is stupid.

Why not drop down to NAIA, so our football players can be safe. Not happening.

When UConn football come back, don't jump on the bandwagon by saying that you supported them in their darkest hours!!!

Don’t think there is much correlation between the score board and who get injured. Army was much more physical and could have scored a lot more, yet it was army players being helped off the field. They are big boys and I’m not worried about anything but the score.
 
Put another way, the answer to the question shoud be intuitively obvious. The proof is left to the reader.

I believe he is friggin nuts. Gimber, are you really a UConn football fan? Or are you a basketball fan who is pining when basketball was the BMOC. I love all of UConn sports. I remember seeing the hockey team playing an open air arena with snow on the rink. The fieldhouse. Now, I saw the glory days of UConn football and now, I want it back. We can and who knows - a Feista Bowl win against Oklahoma in the future??!! :)

It could be. That does not change the fact that the OP was literally advocating cancelling the rest of the season on the basis of losing. The very notion is ludicrous and actually doing so would strip legitimacy away from the entire athletic department for a decade. You wouldn't be able to hire a coach worth a damn in any sport. Now is not the time for half measures. Either be all in or all out. If the decision is to be all in, then go spend actual money to hire a real coach and staff. Invest in the program now or watch it all decay.
