I’m sure they won a moral victory somehow.

 

[All4SU]

UConn should just do the right thing and drop back down to 1AA.

 

[StopCoolio]

In our latest episode of ‘So you decided to hire a Meathead...’ Edsall threw the ball SIX times. For fifteen yards. Against UMass. At home.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

That fan base is in full melt down. Randy Edsall is blaming the size of the quarterback's hands for the low number of pass plays. The Boneyard is both a scene of pathos and high comedy at the moment.

 

[Briancuse]

At least they have bball women's bball.

The top two non-locked threads are arguing to have the football program shut down. lol

 

[nzm136]

UConn football is incredible.

...I mean not on the field, or even on the TV (I can only imagine that most of their games are monotonous). But it's very existence is like a monument to hilarity. It's even helping tank their basketball program, which is priceless.

P6! P6! P6! P6! P6! P6! P6! P6! P6! P6! P6!

They didn't Rutger. (See The All Inclusive Rutgers Dumpster Fire thread, post 7300, see the link in that post to mgoblog)

Apologies to all, not sure how to link a specific post

I have a friend who played at uconn when they were fcs he thinks they should shut it down.

But that would help their hoops.

Let them try to make football work forever. A resurgent Syracuse and BC is obviously the perfect scenario for them to be good.

[SU2NASA]

Just think about our rivals (UConn and Georgetown) and sources of hilarity (Rutgers)

They’re all dumpsterfires in all sports.

It’s good to be us.

This is when we should be spending our time embracing BC as our true rival.

I thought they were on their way to a bowl?

 

[WinRoadGame]

The ACC needs their football

 

[Briancuse]

I thought they were on their way to a bowl?

Their fans are on their way to the toilet bowl.

 

[SU2NASA]

Their fans are on their way to the toilet bowl.

I think they’re there

 

[SU in Hershey]

Their fans are on their way to the toilet bowl.

I think they’re there

Embracing it.

 

[nzm136]

I think they’re there

I bet they still miss it.

I can only imagine how much booze they've had today to get through that abomination.

 

[CousCuse]

UMASS to the...AAC, maybe.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

Official attendance at the Rent was 24,150. Makes sense to me. I am expecting 244,000 more or less at the Dome tonight.

uconn deserves everything bad that is happening to them for blocking Umass to the AACK. Unfathomable they didn't want a local rival an hour away in a conference that requires road trips to Tulsa, OK. I have no real feelings for Umass but I don't want them dropping down to 1AA like Idaho has because uconn blocked them from getting into the Aack.

Uconn fans act like all this is bad luck but it would be terrible for the ACC if they were in the league.

I think the Aack is going to be pretty good in basketball this year and they will struggle again. 1AA for football and A10 for hoops is where they belong IMO honestly their league is too good for them. Its a good football league I think UCF will give Bama as good a game as any of the teams other than Clemson if they sneak into the playoffs, the first overall pick next year plays in it, and decent teams like Navy and Memphis are taking their lumps most of the schools aren't cupcakes to a P5 school from a scheduling POV.

UConn got a golden ticket into a BCS league in 2004.
Teams like Utah, BYU, Boise State, TCU were all in mid major leagues while UConn went from 1-AA to Indy to BCS league.
They have no right to complain.
Blame their AG for suing the ACC. That stuff has consequences when you want into a partnership.
They beat us when we sucked.
The Big East exit fees kept them afloat for these past years but that money has dried up and now their chit TV deal is killing them. The BE basketball schools make more from Fox than the AAC schools receive for football and basketball from ESPN.

They are bleeding a slow death. Football will bankrupt them. I hope they keep it. It will hurt their basketball.

Is that true? If so, wow.
