    UConn Conor lost his Dad yesterday.

    I don't know how to link but others can get that done. Conor was not APB and was really missed. My condolences to Conor and his family.

    Clingan on the bench game after game

    Are there any opinions as to what other Big East coaches think when they watch our games and this is what they see? 7 minutes 7 rebounds. Help defense is not happening unless he is in the lane. Otherwise it is take what you want in the lane. I would bet the opposing coaches are high 5 ing the...

    Are we recruiting Matt Curtis?

    Are we recruiting him? Guards that make shots are always a plus. Started as a freshman at Northwest Catholic.

    Kirk Ferentz/Iowa outside law firm report

    The outside firm report after complaints from former players discovered "the programs rules perpetuated racial or cultural biases and diminished the value of cultural diversity. It also allowed some current and former staff members to demean and bully others. "The Iowa president vows the climate...

    Gampel

    Looking at URI's arena right now on CBSS. I have never been on board with diverting AD funds to the men's hockey program. They have chairbacks throughout the arena it looks like on the TV feed. Even if we renovate Gampel the bleachers risers behind the team benches do not have the dimensions to...

    Independent schedule means Saturday games?

    So you have all seen the trick on ESPN. Can they broadcast a game without showing in any way how empty the stands are? Tonight's Tuesday night game in Ohio between Ohio and Western Michigan is a prime example. Last weeks Tulsa upset over UCF in front of friends and family was another. ESPN has...

    NFL network. Giants vs Pats 2007 last game of regular season on now.

    The Giants used to have talent. Not getting a good tight end after Ballard went down in the 2011 Super Bowl was front office malpractice for the Giants. Boss was a perfect TE for Eli. Great game to watch for those waiting for this season to start.

    UCF-USF Dan O on color

    Mackenzie Milton had a serious leg injury in the first half just proving how unfair life is. From the first time he took the field against us at the Rent and looking at his size I thought how the hell is he getting the job done till today, he has been very enjoyable to root for and watch play...

    Cook destroyed us

    Why did Carlton sit most of the night? I wanted to see Cobb and Carlton on the floor at the same time but we never did that. No one had the physicality to stay with Cook but I would have liked to see Jump give it a try. Polley, Yakwe and Smith got punked trying to stop him. Putting in B Adams...

    Syracuse

    So clearly Petrino has stayed too long at the bar and Cuse has really hit a home run with Babers. The year we were excluded from the ACC we were beating Louisville in football on the road who was chosen. Tonight Cuse ranked #13 does not have a sellout for a league game INDOORS on a Friday...

    Saban not happy with students

    I don't know how to link video's but I saw Saban was complaining about his student section not being full for a 11AM non SEC game this past week. How it would not be a special place to play if this happens again. Damn heretics! The horror! He is the highest paid coach $8 million plus and last I...

    Our final drive, clock running?

    Twice on our final drive we had a ball carrier run out of bounds and the clock kept running. I remember Noel Thomas was one of them. Anyone know what was up? They also seemed to start the clock very quickly after first downs.

    Hard Knocks/ Texans

    15 minutes in, I was surprised at my reaction (swearing at the TV machine) as I had lost track of that guy. SOB. They have Mike Vrabel and Romeo Crennel as defensive assistants but at DLine coach is that the best they could do?

    Recruits at Awards dinner Friday night

    Article from Des in Courant that we had some recruits at the awards dinner with incoming QB Davis there as well as 4 DE prospects (3 at 6'5" and one 6'4") as well as 2 OL prospects. Have we recruited this way in the past? I like the height and lean body type at DE hopefully bringing more speed...

    A tale of two home shutouts

    I was a student when we lost at Memorial to Navy 30-0 in 1978. We have had plenty of losses in the Rentschler era but the two shutouts have a lot in common despite the long break in time. When we played Navy I remember how their lines were such a mismatch for our guys who played hard that day...

    Fullback anyone?

    Watched the replay on ESPN3 and seeing USF utilize the fullback and have success wearing us down with it made me think that we need to see some of this from our team. Like the Edsall days to help out the new QB. Without Phillips we have only one proven threat at wideout. We also are lacking the...

    message for Giants fans

    In the words of John McCain " We are all Colts fans now ". It's a race with the Jags for the number 1 pick. Talk about wheels coming off the wagon, no RB's, LB's and an O-line problem will do that to you.

    Reasons why the higher ups are paralyzed?

    I thought losing to Towson was a fireable offense but looking ahead felt that the higher ups would never be able to keep Coach P if we lost to Buffalo and started out 0-4.Can't believe it has happened but here we are. If you are going to fire Coach P you need someone willing to assume the head...

    Why do we insist on opening Thursday night?

    Something I'm not getting is why we don't start our season on Friday night or Saturday like so many programs we see playing today. Their are no High School games being played yet on Friday night. Connecticut schools are open so any families with kids have to contend with getting them up for...

    Was the ACC dumb not to have expanded with UConn and Rutgers

    By bringing on UConn and Rutgers with Cuse and Pitt they could have made a bid on the hoops tourney in MSG and maybe Maryland stays. Really locked up the NYC market and kept the B1G out. Any thoughts?

    Wildcat why we suck

    We run the wildcat because McCummings is a threat when he carries the ball. Tonight in the wildcat we had 2 backs on each side of the QB and Griffin in the back field with one wideout but he wasn't outside the hashmarks on the wide side. So we had everyone in tight essentially. This allows the...

    Goodbye Deleone

    Any old time Giants fans remember the "Goodbye Allie" days? We need to breakout this seranade if Deleone is still calling plays against Pittsburgh.

    Temple, how do we win?

    Years ago at the Conn Mutual Classic in basketball we saw a team come in from our region that wasn't more talented but had great leadership, played harder and imposed their will on the Huskies resulting in anyone who was there thinking man I wish that guy was our head coach. Boy I hope we don't...

    Next OC on the sideline

    Whoever our next Offensive Coordinator is I want him on the sidelines during play not up in the booth. Given GDL's age maybe that is best for him but he is the O-line coach and playcaller and to have no ability to directly communicate face to face with his players let alone use a wipe board to...

    D-tackles

    Losing Tywon and Kendall I was seeing that area of our Defense as a weak link but the way those guys are playing has been really impressive. Wirth is really mobile and all over the field, has a great motor. I thought he would be undersized but it has been an advantage to be quicker in this...

    scheduling

    With TCU gone does that leave a hole in the Big East schedules for next year? Do we wind up playing some teams twice to fill the hole?

    O-line key vs WVU

    During the Fordham game it concerned me that they were able to pressure our QB's during passing situations and that we weren't able to rip off longer runs more often as the holes closed quickly. At Vanderbilt the run game started better but then evaporated. We all thought that the o-line would...
