... and remembering what I liked about PAST UCONN Spring games and why they seem odd/stupid. First, a 339 lb OL named Christian Mahagony scored on a series of Refrigerator plays at the goal line. Then to take the absurdity exponentially beyond, this kid from Paramus Catholic in NJ started a...

We can expect Ric S to dive in an get the answers we are curious about Let's start here on 4/6. I would like to see an update article on the guys who got hurt and missed some time or prospects that didn't play until late in our Fall 2021 schedule. Cameron Ross. Matt Drayton, T Phommachanh...

So ... I am reading the announcement of Michael Lewis - whom some will remember as a star shooter for IU in Bloomington and then 18 years as an assistant. Most recently at UCLA with Mr. Cronin - and I am thinking that's a well put together announcement statement. It then struck me ... that's...

Lane Kiffin rants about transfer portal: 'They're going where they're going to get paid the most'. Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin is done ignoring what the transfer portal has done to college football recruiting. "I don't think people really say it this way, but let's not make a mistake: We...

WATCHED both the semifinals - Clemson v Notre Dame & Georgetown v Washington. Then the Final where Clemson beats Washington It was great quality competition and all four were deserving. Lots of good play; great shots from far. Physical. Great goals. NO ZooCougar ... it is not MLS or the...

Rarely have we had anything out of form. We have gotten TDs from superior effort; and no ball handling flubs. Kids appear to know the rules and penalties on Specials have been rare. McFadden is a stud Freshman. I would say the NJ guy Eddie Allen has outshone others.

The Athletic Director of Louisiana Tech, Eric Woods, was quoted in their local paper that the Presidents have agreed that 14 is the maximum the league would grow to. Considering we are still watching Middle Tennessee & Western Kentucky AND they are a FBS conference. They either have 7...

"All of which begs another question: Does Delaware also need to take a long, hard look at moving up to FBS. Darn right it does, especially taking into account the drastic fall off in attendance over the past 10 years and the fact Delaware now has top-notch facilities, including the indoor...

Weird. The CUSA AND the WAC have the ability - through NCAA bylaws - to pull FCS programs up to FBS with invites. Turns out: the NCAA certifies FBS leagues. CUSA AND the WAC qualify - and the WAC obviously has not been there for a half dozen years (or more). But that is kinda a grandfather...

So reading the story about Derby Football is so very sad. When I was a young boy ... my Dad took me to Derby Shelton Thanksgiving Day game. John Pagliaro & Brian Pagliaro. The O'Connell Line guys that played for UConn. My cousin Mike was All State at DB. Lou DeFilippo was an iconic big deal...

I nurture each of the balance of the five remainders. But then GRAB the Best FCS Programs with some view of the Geography. Could you match UTEP with New Mexico State. Obvious. Then the vaunted Texas bid to keep UTEP & La Tech happy - Sam Houston (recent past FCS champion). And Tarleton...

The University of Alabama at Birmingham – Birmingham, Alabama; Florida Atlantic University – Boca Raton, Florida; The University of North Carolina at Charlotte – Charlotte, North Carolina; The University of North Texas – Denton, Texas; Rice University – Houston, Texas; and The University of...

1.0 Craig Thompson, commissioner of the Mountain West Conference, stated that he had talked to two University Presidents Friday about joining the MWC. That could be AAC conference members bailing on the ship as the dollars from their TV realignment clause becomes a topic; more likely it is the...

He has a dumpster fire in our first most renowned program ... UCONN Men's Soccer ... and he doesn't seem to care. yeah yeah Ray Reid is a respected National Coach yada yada. But, Morrone had a Program ... a Plan ... I was eager to see the incoming player and the transition through the years...

These guys just went 2 years at 9-1. It is a complete anomaly for a Ivy to Play a FBS. You can find Towson, UNH, URI, Fordham and Holy Cross on Ivy Schedules and it is an absolute outlier for this game to happen. However ... Ivy Football has come up in the world. They have bigger lines; the...

Asking for a friend.

Back in the early aughts ... Schiano lost to Villanova. Schiano lost to New Hampshire He then went to the clever OOC scheduling of the HIBC including Howard, Delaware State, etc. He competed in the Big East & tried to make bowls by crafting his OOC. He is back into that for sure. But, he...

He just gave as emotional a farewell - from a Players perspective - as you’ll see. It’s Classic. Good kid. Very pleased he was rewarded with an experience that struck his heart. Best wishes

“2 things that a lot of CFB fan bases need to understand when it comes to new coaches at their programs -you DONT “find” offensive linemen. You DEVELOP them. That takes 3+ years of coaching & weight room commitment. -the QB success is incredibly dependent on WR talent/coaching” ok. I’m buying...

Math 1.0 As illustrated in UMASS AD Ryan Bamberg's recent comments ... Independent status is enhanced as there are now 7. The numbers are such that you have far more flexibility than when there were 4. In fact, he went on to say that the American Athletic Conference (where his fan base got...

per Matt Norlander - ranking Cincy 12 & UCLA 80 UCLA: The Bruins are a wild card. I'm ranking them low out of expectation that Mick Cronin's style will need a little time to adjust to the players on this roster, and vice versa, but making the NCAAs wouldn't stun me at all. Cronin gets there way...

Competition. Games you can drive to or want to go visit. Not getting bumped on your flights to wherever. UMASS is a big Game. A big Day on moving forward. Buffalo. Temple. Navy. Army is HUGE. BC & Syracuse - of course. Rutgers. Maryland. Cincinnati. West Virginia. Pitt. Mount...

We are told to have some perspective on Jack Z. (from the usual) But we aren't goofy teens following a boy band types. We have a long memory of how this has worked out at UConn since Orlovsky. (anyone else think Randy doesn't pronounce his name correctly>?) Here's a Program we competed with...

TCF? 31 throws from Zergiotis & about 7 or 8 big plays by UCONN. Decent Big Ten talent & Specials ... we hung

We have to point out the significant deficiency of our Special Teams as something that has to improve. And YES HCRE 1.0 had very good specials. Illinois with booming out-of-the-endzone kickoffs + no major leaks on kick coverage + punts that placed us inside the 15 yard line frequent + the...

I give Spanos great kudos for what we saw this first game. Why? They were so frigging embarrassingly inept not that long ago. We pressured the QB, We stuffed the middle, We covered WRs, We held the Edge. And we did not earn 3rd and 15 ... and gave up 24. And ... all over the field, there...

Lou Spanos specialty. LB coaching experiences with the Steelers then UCLA then Tennessee Titans. A UCONN strength through 2003-2010. But ... we are in “Show me” mode. The Courant article was underwhelming - from my perspective. So dialing it back: part of it is the AAC & knowing you’ve...

USF is playing in Montreal & Quebec City. Like many programs. First UQAM (University of Quebec at Montreal) then Laval. Then Carleton (from Ottawa) and McGill. Every year Programs go in August. Syracuse last year. Carleton beats them. A good Program

What do you think happens when Notre Dame says they would like a 13th Game. The Committee doesn’t think it’s fair ... that they don’t have a 13th Game. There’s a bunch of talk of a Championship Game Yup. Independent Conference Championship. With TV Money. Let me see there’s 6...

Look at this by an article from Chip Paterson “Things were difficult externally, too. Mark Warner, the then-Governor of Virginia, began lobbying to get Virginia Tech added to the ACC once it became clear the league was looking to add members. A lawsuit was filed by the state of Connecticut...

Rod Carey, Luke Fickell, Mike Norvell, Charlie Strong, Mike Houston, Dana Holgerson, Sonny Dykes, Phil Montgomery, Josh Heupel, Ken Niumatalolo, Randy Edsall I’m thinking Josh Heupel got lucky. Got handed a great structured roster. Tweaked If you closed your eyes, the SEC are almost all...

Susan Herbst Said: ““declining conference and media licensing revenue, along with rising costs, have created the current deficit.“ If you walk in her door this morning as a fresh auditor, you can find some clear questionable items. First, as the accompanying chart illustrates, from 2005 to...
