    UConn Football 2024 Spring FanFest (April 21st @ Morrone Stadium)

    Just curious, did anybody see #91 on field at the fanfest? McCarthy.

    Updated 2024 Spring Roster

    So now both Fogle and McCarthy are both gone? Fogle's number went to somebody else and no #91 on the roster.

    The Next Tiger, Or Scottie, Or Rory....

    Last week it was reported Sheffler's caddie made more than 75% of the pros on the PGA Tou this year.

    UConn Football 2024 Spring FanFest (April 21st @ Morrone Stadium)

    Seems to be his MO. Think he started at UD as a walk-on or on half scholarship then to full scholly and now here...hard worker.

    Gordon Sammis Named OC

    I think teams last year used more 4-5 wide sets. Left Mitchell covering a lot of area in the middle of the field. He got bigger and as his pro day numbers looked, he was on the slow side of his position peers. Losing Randle and Swenson was huge. Swenson was a very versatile player. Don't know...

    Mayonnaise on French Fries??

    Before The Oyster Club in Mystic, the building held a take-out only? place called Pomme Frites. Fresh cut, double fried potatoes, I suppose in the Belgian style. They featured many dipping sauces and the best I thought was the chipotle aioli. It didn't last very long, and they were relatively...

    So it's like watching pregame warmups during the season?

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    IIRC Geno earned 3.1 million dollars. think that was more than the entire football coaching staff.

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    They paid out $4MM in Sept 2022 to finish off the Ollie thing which goes on FY2023. That made it cross the line. Keep getting humped by amateurs.

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    Jo I appreciate Mora with his national profile agreeing to come here and try reversing the fortunes of the program. And I also recognized the need to get people talking about the program when he first got here. He has been a dynamic presence here. I guess I'm getting tired of getting any...

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    Maybe he learned to stop fluffing the fanbase with BS, like the ACC, B12 talk over the last two years..

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    New; GM, S&C, DC, OC, Passing Coord, Senior D Analyst...New K and P for special teams Literally everything is in transition. Lots of work to do. Build new working relationships. He will say something when he has something to say.

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    Heading into spring I think there is just almost an overwhelming amount of things to get done and possibly change with new subordinates, players etc. See what comes out of spring. Could be just spending his time puking in the wastebasket instead of posting.

    ...and leads the nation in attendance 12k+ , Stanford 2.5k as of 2022 season.

    We disagree a bit and I appreciate your long-standing relationship and support to/for the program.

    Assistant Football Coach/QB Coach/Pass Game Coordinator > Brad Robbins

    Free is throwing numbers out there cavalierly . He will "take" 250 and 35. 250-260 yds a game gets you in the top 40-50 of 133 and 35 tds is a big number, top ten number today . 3000 yds and 35 tds are going to get interest which we may not be able to afford in todays environment. Thats all.

    Assistant Football Coach/QB Coach/Pass Game Coordinator > Brad Robbins

    Orlovsky was pushing 300yds a game his last two years. Do you think we would be able to keep someone who passes for 300 yds and 33 tds for the following year today? Any development unfortunately will be rewarded by going to some other program.
  18. Duncan Idaho

    Assistant Football Coach/QB Coach/Pass Game Coordinator > Brad Robbins

    His numbers developed over time. 250 yards and 35 tds? People have left here for presumably better over comparably less.

    Northwestern. Illinois. Purdue

    The company I worked for in RI had a number of fellow employees in from the Midwest for a tech transfer situation. A few appreciated what you wrote. They were shocked at the level we were encouraged to speak our minds. Things were said that would be considered insubordinate back home. Consensus...

    Northwestern. Illinois. Purdue

    Peeked into the Illini and Purdue boards. Denigrating the UConn coach, the fans (by third party accounts}, the school, east coast people... I thought mid-westerners were nice but have shown to be as small as anyone else. Fans.

    UConn kind of needed to play Purdue

    People here are kind of apologizing for past successes.

    Immensely proud of Paige’s response

    She represents the best of the sport.

    An Observation About Caroline

    A ball to the head led her to missing this season. She has been through a lot. Not sure just how much folks realize in high school alone; acl, hip labrum, shoulder labrum, concussions.

    Haters gonna hate.

    Folks and institutions are very protective of their legacies.

    Assistant Football Coach/QB Coach/Pass Game Coordinator > Brad Robbins

    Orlovsky averaged 233yds/game and 22tds/yr. , that's projecting his first year out to 12 games. The unfortunate reality is if the offense produces what Free would take, the coordinator and the qb will both be gone the following year or the next.

    This Win is the Greatest Win in UConn History

    Just amazing with five down. Congrats to the players and their coaches.

    OSU edges ND

    Even though small, a metal ring could potentially exacerbate any elbow or hand to the face. Can see it ripping up some skin then scarring of the face. Its a high value area as opposed to an arm.

    OSU edges ND

    The rule was made a point of emphasis for the sweet sixteen. I don't know the why, but the coaches were informed.

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    The last number I saw was 6.5MM in the student fee subsidy. It had been as high as 8.8MM a few years ago IIRC.

    He was/ is a very smart guy. All -academic. Taught English Lit as a grad student.

    I don't think folks have a problem with the pathway just given the state of the program, there is apprehension toward it beginning it here.
