Sorry for OT, hoping to get input from hikers here. I’m heading to CT tomorrow and wanted to hike the bear mtn/undermountain loop trail. I saw some posts from last week that there was snow on the trail still and people were using crampons. I was a little surprised as we have not had snow in SE...

Did anyone watch the MLS final last night? Was a fun game to watch, last second goal in extra time, PK’s for the LAFC win. Our own Andre Blake in net as well. The crowd was pretty intense - I would have been impressed if they weren’t throwing things at players.

In advance of the CWS (so we don't know how Stanford will do), what do you predict UConn's final ranking will be? Place your bets!!!

I just did a full refresh of my computers and as part of that set up an account for my kids. They have school chromebooks but they do occasionally use our PC's. I don't use linked email accounts for personal computer access. Upon creating accounts for the kids, I started researching the...

Any word on whether we’re hunting for a fri/sat replacement game? It will be good to return from a road trip and get a little rest but they don’t need a full week off. Given the scheduling unpredictability this year, seems appropriate to try to slot in games where you can.

I'm strongly considering remodeling my bathroom myself and looking for a little advice. I have a 5ishx7ish bathroom plus tub cutout. I'm looking to remove the tub, tile (cement slab floor), toilet, vanity and mirror/vanity fixture. Tub would be converted to a standup shower that would likely...

A classic bowl matchup between a sub 500 SEC school and "top 25" AAC school Tulsa. They make it memorable with an extended postgame brawl. Gonna miss our AAC friends.

Hi folks, I just got off the phone with one of my best friends down in CT whose mom suddenly passed away. And inevitably with 2020, it was not the only bad news he had. He also recently lost his job working as a plant operations manager in CT. He specifically was brought in for a new...

Only UConn believes this. Hate to say it but college season will be chaos if it happens, and this is truly all about the $$$. It is such a sad statement of our society that we’d risk the health of these young men when postponing to the spring or taking a season off will NOT prevent the...

Let’s say we’re ready to play without fans but the weather sucks March 1 Would it be possible to host a game in the Burton complex? The sidelines would be tight and I’m not sure where the media goes, but could we do it?

My family is receiving a gift from FIL in asia. Transferwise is not an option, not available. Speed of money transfer is really not important. I am trying to get cost estimates for WU but they're giving me a hard time since I'm in the US and need the rates/fees in the reverse direction. I'm...

UConn softball is currently 11-4, all road/neutral games of course. This coming weekend they play in the JMU Invitational, host JMU is ranked 24 in at least 1 poll.

Make a rule and college coaches will abuse it. Holgorson encouraged star players, including QB King, to redshirt after a 1-3 start. One senior player calls them out for purposely tanking. He won’t get his season back, but Houston won’t get their QB back either as he’s now entered the transfer...

Hi folks, Wife and I are headed down to Key West/Miami for a short trip - basically 2 days each location. We have been to Key West for a half day as part of a cruise and had very little interaction in Miami other than the cruise port. We don't golf or go to shows. Enjoy good (especially spicy...

Hello folks, we're entertaining my father-in-law who is visiting from asia for a month. We will be driving to Niagara from Boston and then from Niagara to NYC. It looks like we could squeeze in a stop in the Poconos to break up a day's ride from Niagara to NYC. Anyone have suggestions? We...

I began traveling for work last year (basically 4-6 times per year for 5-8 days per trip) and along with that I've got Jet Blue, Marriott and Hilton accounts. My company has a corporate rate with Marriott so I used up my Hilton points and I've moved to just Marriott properties. I use Jet Blue...

The signing of Hunt was slick. Cleveland has 8 picks in the first 5 rounds of the draft. They have the fifth-most cap space in 2019 (82.5m). I don't care how he went out in KC, he built a monster there that Andy Reid will pizz away. Let's hope the Browns give him the keys to the castle. He...

I'm bringing my kids down to the game from MA on Sunday and will be meeting up with my parents for lunch first. My dad had a hip replacement and probably needs a knee replacement as well, so I am trying to limit their walking. He refuses to use a handicap parking pass so we're stuck with...

Yes, that's right - Baltimore. Family is going to head down to Philly in July and we need a second local destination as we've been there a few times. While we're in Philly we're definitely heading to Sesame Place and then one of the zoo/aquarium/please touch museum. We'll then have three...

Dana Barros opened a basketball facility near me a few months ago. AAU, general admit, skills clinics etc. I questioned the location as it's in kind of a dead area, but the place is crazy packed every weekend. It's in a former car dealership lot and there's not a spot open on Saturdays or...

I'm planning out a little family road trip that will include driving Boston to Philly and then Philly to Hershey. I am looking to find a place for an overnight, hopefully with something fun for the kids (4 and 6) between Hershey and Boston to break up the drive home. The overnight is not going...

Well that gig was faster than his stint with the Broncos. Belichek must have given a timeline for retirement. Josh McDaniels withdraws from Colts' coaching job

Well the trailer finally dropped today after months of speculation, reshoots and a supposed change in direction for the movie ending with Ron Howard taking the reigns. I grew up idolizing Han Solo - reluctant hero, notorious and dangerous, a smooth talker who gets the girl that's out of his...

It's fast. Huge improvement over prior versions. Highly recommended.

....THAT is what we need to get the Rent to look like for UConn football. What a great crowd.

Apparently Xavier brings Bill Murray to meet some of their recruits. Are there any rules/restrictions around having big donors and/or celebrities fraternize with recruits? And when do we send out Moby?

Does anyone own a modular home or have experiences with them via the real estate/contracting business? We had a failed attempt at building a new home build last year (builder went bankrupt) but we're going to try again this year. We met with a realtor/GC working on a few different projects and...

For the force-sensitive nerds like myself, the trailer to TLJ is likely to be released Thursday or Friday. Most likely Friday, but outside shot of Thursday with the Star Wars event under way in Orlando. Difficult to see, always in motion is the date. And let's not forget the release of Thrawn...

Register here UConn Cares - Boston: The Greater Boston Food Bank April 22, 2017 1:00 pm Boston MA

Off the top, I like the elimination of special teams. That's not so different from the NFL moving the kickoff position up 5 yards to encourage touchbacks. 7 on 7 seems a little weird to me, not sure how that really helps things. Excerpt from article: Here's a breakdown of what players and...

Anyone else notice the 4-2-5 employed by GB yesterday? They're not alone. I know we're likely looking at a 3-3-5, but the principles are not so different. I think more and more schools will move to it as the defense of choice to combat the spread. This is a good move for us.

Dang I know we're the new kid on the block (so is PSU), but how are people ranking St. Cloud St ahead of us after we just beat them? We're not even getting votes. Bummer but there's a way to fix this..... Jan 2 Rankings

Off the field not on the field, but it gave me a chuckle.....

TV alert for those in NE outside of CT, game is available........

I checked the Cincy and UConn calendars, both have meetings scheduled in August and nothing else. Is it safe to assume that if an emergency board meeting is called, it will be to "vote" on whether to accept the B12 admission offer?
