    Should have seen this coming...

    I realized about halfway through the game that this was the last game prior to everyone bailing for Christmas. We've traditionally had some real stinkers in that spot...

    CIAC Football playoffs

    1) Who ya got? 2) More on-topic - where does Mora visit? For efficiency, you could probably try a bunch of St Joes, Prep, Darien, New Canaan. Could visit Rosa in Bristol, then maybe Naugy or Hall? He needs to go full Schiano and get a copter tonight :) LL: No. 8 GREENWICH (7-3) at No. 1...

    Randy Brochu appreciation thread

    Don't see a lot of posts about him, and thought i would write one. Especially with hockey, and even moreso against the outrageous homer knuckleheads that we get when NESN gets a game, he's fantastic.

    Fire everyone. Now.

    Note - this is not a running game thread. I’ve seen enough. we just took a delay of game on a touchback. Complete, utter, incompetence.

    Uh, in the link: " PARKING Once again, parking lots will open for tailgating five-hours prior to game time for season ticket holders, and four-hours prior to kick for all other ticket holders. Season parking pass holders can park anywhere in the Blue Lot, while parking is available in the Grey...

    ESPN (+) preview - it gets worse...

    It's paywalled content, so i won't cut/paste the whole thing, but the money shot is below: Ugh. Mind you, even Bill Connelly will tell you that ranking us, minus a season last year, is impossible, but this is sobering.

    Bracketology Discussion

    Getting close enough, i think... 1) This NCAA season looks like 2012 to me. It's bizarro world. Rutgers potentially an at large? Penn State as a protected seed? Baylor as a 1 seed? UNC last in the ACC? From the tournament point of view, this tells me that we could see a ton of upsets this...

    Annual WFSB Giants / Pats issue thread...

    So, the Giants and Pats both play at 1 this week. This usually results in hilarious questions as to "Why can't I watch the Pats?" from everyone on Facebook. It's like festivus! Pats @ Dolphins Bills @ Giants In an especially awesome schedule quirk, the Jets play Monday night, so there will...

    ESPN today - you can't make this up...

    So, I ventured over to the ESPN NCAA Men's page, for some reason, and... 1) They promote a documentary that ignored us, essentially 2) On ESPN+, which was probably the straw that broke our backs on the AAC contract

    I'm seeing the next kick coming, loud and clear...

    This PAC12 confluence of events coming down the pipe will cause the next set of moves. We're screwed. First time, it was "football history" Second, it was "TV markets" Third, it was some of those, plus "you're not in the midwest / south" Now? "You're not on the west coast" 1) Their 500M...

    Any radio announcer speculation?

    Not completely shocked that we haven’t seen anything yet - best guess is that something leaks out in mid July, with confirmation coming with the media guide publish in August. I was impressed by Eric Frede (SNY) during the 2014 UConn centric final 4 telecast, but my guess is that TV is a...

    Why do the refs always choose us to show up on?

    im watching a Clemson player wave bye on Renfrow td run. No flag in a chippy game getting out of hand. Mayala didn’t have enough time to do anything half as bad. Ron Johnson gets flagged for the “keep feeding me” motion. Now that happens in almost every game and even after first downs. I’m...

    OT - stupid soccer haha

    Sorry to channel my inner @whaler11 and take glee in so much suffering, but this is great! 1) Tell me again how "up and coming" USA soccer is 2) Same for MLS making us better 3) Can't wait to see those ratings for the world cup! We couldn't beat a small island's b team in a flooded high...

    I really hate the targeting rule...

    Don’t get me wrong - it’s accomplished what it meant to do - the crossing pattern or midair hits are largely a thing of the past, and that’s largely good. But the one from last night is completely absurd. If that’s targeting, you should eject every runner who puts his head down, or QB who...
