The official UCONN BCS thread!!

It's amazing that they actually lost to Rutgers and Temple earlier in the season.

They've really come together and with a win against South Florida on Saturday, They'll probably play Nebraska in the Fiesta bowl on New Years day.

Also, It's to bad that BC is afraid to play us... I'd love to see us kick they're a$$ all over the field!!

Go UCONN!!!!!

Randy Edsall was in some of my classes Freshman and Sophmore year.

Let's just say, he was not the brightest bulb in the closet. I am very surprised by his success, but happy for him.

UConn being in the BCS just adds to how horrible the system is.

Ugh...those losses were absurd. My brother and his friends went to the Rutgers game and we still can't explain that loss.

A family friend of mine is the ST coordinator at temple so needless to say, that was a rough loss to take as well...

This Saturday should be an easy game for us, although given recent history...you can never be sure with our god forsaken QB situation...

Who'd have thought even as recently as 5 years ago that we'd be playing schools like ND and be on our way to BCS games? It truly all starts and ends with Edsall...just as our bball teams are direct results of Calhoun and Auriemma...

Go UConn!

That's what the avatar is for!!

I started in 1977, I think he was a year ahead of me. He was the 3rd or 4th string QB, a big physical specimen but I don't think he every understood the palybook . I played for the Ice Hockey team and was friendly with a bunch of the football players--when their season was over they would play for us. Bill Hurley, the starting QB dislocated my thumb with a slap shot and once got me sick on skoal BEFORE a game.

I think Edsall actually lived in my dorm my freshman year.

LOL @ UCONN in a BCS Game......Nothing against UConn as a program, but no Big East team is even close to deserving of a BCS game this season

It was an amazing strike of luck that their starting QB flaked out. The backup has been solid.

They are pretty average but whatever...they just earned the program about 15 million bucks and they get a shot against a powerhouse. Only bad thing would be getting rocked.

you mean the way WVU got their butts kicked by Georgia and OU the previous years????

Cincy was in turmoil last year as the coach signed with ND and they would not let him on the sidelines for the game...
