Glad to hear Coney is making an impression on the staff. He was a great player at Naugatuck, catches the ball very well. I wonder if he will have a role in the return game next season.

There is nothing quite as satisfying is winning a football game that squashes an opponents aspirations, on our own way to reaching your own goals.

I hope that when we get back on our buses after the game, that we've added the tears of Temple, to Rutgers, and Houston.

I want them hurting like Rutgers and Houston with a bad taste of UCONN in their mouths.

I mean this great love and care.

There is only one team taking the field on Saturday night that has played in a New Years Day game, and I want it to stay that way.

So Coach Diaco's goal of bowl eligibility was much more aggressive than most of his teams' fans...Interesting.

I would assume from your comment this is the first time you heard of this Goal for year two?

It's not that. I'd expect a coach to set aggressive goals for his team. However it has been demonstrated by near consensus since the Spring Game that the criteria for a successful season was about 5-7. 5-7 is not bowl eligible.

So you do remember Coach Diaco stating bowl eligibility was a goal for year two?

No other changes on #UConn's two-deep chart other than at TE[/QUOTE]

Correct me if I am wrong (don't all line up!) but wasnt the depth chart at Tulane Myers, Bloom and Lee? I must have missed the Bloom Demotion? Did that occur after the Tulane game? (it took me a few days to recover)

That's irrelevant. Few fans believed he could do it. I suppose "goal" was the wrong word. "Expectation" works better.

No Bloom "demotion" -- Depth Chart has listed two TE on the depth chart since Nova game. It's been Myers/Bloom w/ Lee and Holman as the two's . Now it's Bloom and Lee w/ Holman as the two under both spots.
