I didn't remember the Maine (game), and other concerns
Maine sophomore guard Gerald McLemore (above) leads the Black Bears in scoring with 16.7 ppg. As it turns out, UConn has another game on its hands tonight, 48 hours after yet another underwhelming victory over a mid-major, this time 60-51...
Phew.
Now we're only minus-two in the "horrifying-defeats-to-exhilarating-wins" category. After yet another fourth-quarter defensive collapse, UConn was staring loss #6 (and a 2-5, 6th-place Big East finish) right in its ugly,...
The greatest win in UConn football history.
A shot of the scoreboard at Notre Dame Stadium, via Porter, the lucky bastard. He promises me he'll have a better picture up soon enough. Connecticut 33. Notre Dame 30. Who could have ever dreamed this would ever be possible in the 1960s,...
In which I do my duty as an alumnus
What's that? Is that TOURNAMENT TIME coming 'round the bend? I promise, the next two days we'll talk about this Saturday's landmark football game. I promise. Preview, a musing, and maybe some unflattering pictures of Charlie Weis....
UConn 77, Colgate 63: AHHHHHHHH
So that was something. UConn won fairly comfortably over Colgate, despite trailing for much of the latter part of the first half. The Huskies won, 77-63, thanks in large part to a solid shooting night, one big run midway through the second half and, of course, Sticks. Everybody's favorite...
Instant reax: UConn 75, W&M 66
Ah, he's a-cookin' up a-somethin' good! I promise I won't overreact. It was just one game. I promise I won't overreact. It was just one game. I promise I won't overreact. It was just one game. I promise I won't overreact. It was...
Cincinnati 47, UConn 45: I am officially losing it
Good night, world! I'll be in here if you need me. UNC was the worst loss ever. Then Pitt was the worst choke ever. Then West Virginia was the most devastating loss ever. Then Rutgers was the most painful, devastating, worst loss...
Choose your own adventure! UConn @ #4 Cincinnati
Nippert Stadium: a better name than Fifth Third Arena (5 out of every 3 people think that's a terrible name). But only marginally. Tonight's nationally-televised showdown with Cincinnati figures to be UConn's best chance at letting people...
Homecoming: A UConn-Rutgers preview
We all could use a good exuberant jumping right now. I'd argue that Saturday's game against Rutgers is UConn's true homecoming. The campus is united as never before in the wake of the Jasper Howard tragedy, more and more people should be in...
Winner gets the girl at the homecoming dance: a Louisville-UConn preview
Ah, the heady days of 2007. Back before Louisville collapsed in on itself like so many red dwarfs (the star, not the British TV show), UConn fans were chanting "BCS! BCS!" on the concourse of Rentschler Field after the win over the Cardinals. I know, I was there. Though I was not one of the...
