Will the FB team have a better win percentage

[bmayuc]

I have to make this lie to myself in order to continue to buy season tickets. If I honestly thought there was no hope and they would be 2-10 I'd be an idiot to even bother trying to go to games.

You see, once you re-orient your fandom from "caring about winning" to "enjoying the beauty in dissolution", the record doesn't matter. Its the friends you make along the way.

The trans team.

I'm surprised that we don't have a trans on the Women's Basketball team. With the women's track championship in high school won first and second places by trans, I'm wondering when the first trans will be in NCAA women's bb.

I know the media will announce it. So far, it hasn't happened.

The offense has a chance to be really good if a QB separates himself from the pack.

By default the defense has to be better.

C’mon, what can top a record setting defense?

 

[HuskyDogArt]

What specifically needs to be done so that UConn wins at least six of its 2019 FB games?

Is it doable before the Wagner game?

Will UConn beat Wagner?

The first 3 games should be winnable. Wagner, Illinois and Indiana...We might not beat UCF or USF, so going into the Tulane game we should be 3-2. After that Houston and Navy doubtful, UMass and ECU should be wins. Cincinnati we haven't won there yet and Temple, I'll say no...I'll say we'll be 5-7.

Need to know if HCRE2.0 thinks wins are important in 2019.

Wins will never “be important” until we actually get some.

 

[Waquoit]

I don't think they're going to have a better winning percentage than Hartford Athletics.

 

[huskyrob1]

Yes. 6-6 or 7-5. They will improve from last year. The next recruiting class will be better than this one and 2020 will be even better than 2019. The fans will return to the Rent, it will be sunny and mild each home game and all will be good with the world. Coach Edsall will win an award for turning the worst Div-1 football program into one of the top 25 best programs. Birds will sing world wide. Small animals to move to and fro. Deer will stop running in front of cars. THERE WILL BE A PARADE! Maybe not in 2019 but someday there will be. Glass half full mates. glass half full

You forgot to mention, everyone on the basketball board will get herpes.

What???????

Beat Indiana at Indiana????????

I tend to have a positive outlook on this stuff, but last season was a total train wreck with a defense that was bad by historical dimensions. We're crawling out of the abyss. 2-3 wins next season and playing competitive football would be a meaningful progress. Talk of beating Big10 teams on consecutive weekends is fantasy.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

The fact that 27% of people voted "Yes" on this poll is... alarming.

 

[Redding Husky]

We'll be 1-11 or 2-10.

But if we can't cut the losing scoring margin in half, it will show progress.

6-6 or bust. We only have to go 5-6 vs FBS opponents.
