I clipped too much... but the next opponent is USF... and we're expecting snow in Arlington so Storrs should be fun. Also, I don't want to go game for game but most of those games were lost by thin margins. I'd also have to look at the schedule, but IIRC, it wasn't bad.

Another thing, and this is shoulda, woulda, coulda, but we lost our best cornerback (IIRC) mid-way through the season. We didn't just lose a player but a key player on that defense. Seeing how close some of those games were after the death I can't help but wonder what would have happened had he not had that incident (which is to say, not died and no injury).

U-Conn did play a decent schedule in retrospect, for the type of up and coming program they are. Winning at Ohio U (MAC West Div champ), losing a close game at NC, win at Baylor, (albeit a weak Big12 team) the toss in win with Rhode Island, then the Big East schedule. Losing close games at Pitt, WV and Cincy. I'd discount the rest of their wins (Louisville, Syracuse) and the loss at home to Rutgers was disappointing. The ND win was the highlight no doubt, considering the tragedy this season. Still, 6-5 with USF left shows potential for next season. They play like a Big Ten team in many respects.

I look forward to seeing them at Michigan Stadium to open next season.

Back then the 'big issue' was resume falsifying, just like it was inhaling at one time and not paying taxes for the maid at another time...now it is cheating on your wife or steroids (although that is fading). Causing global warming is also a job killer although the data may be fuzzy.

I've said it before but those guys drive me nuts. They have access to all kinds of facilities and specialists through their team. Would it kill them to work out with the team either running or weights or stadiums on occassion?

it would likely kill Weis. he was always too large, tried the gastric bypass, almost died, lost full use of one leg and then had his other leg destroyed by that hit on the sideline...I have little sympathy for unhealthy lifestyle people but have known more than one that was genetically pre-disposed to being far above a healthy weight...from what I understand that applies to Weis.

If you were predisposed to alcoholism because of family history you'd be extra careful with the bottle. If Charlie has fat genes, all the more reason to mix in a salad. I think either way it indicates lack of self-control.

Sad to see based on some of the NFL talent they produced, but everything I read suggests the situation was much the same as Northeastern, if not worse. A program bleeding red ink that has lost interest due to the nationalization of College Football and the focus on the power conferences in programs.

Being in the northeast, they don't even get the option of trying to play racoon to an SEC programs Pick Up Truck. The Jets moving their practice facility might have been the last blow.

It's weird to see Hofstra go because I remember when I was real young I used to watch Hofstra games every Saturday on Fox Sports NY. I always liked their end zones for some reason with the three striped blue white and gold colors.

They had a decent program for a FCS team.

Good defense being played here...
 
Re: College Football 2009: Bowl College Stupidity Rankings

Tough week for fat coaches. That thud you felt was Mangino going down at KU.
 
Re: College Football 2009: Bowl College Stupidity Rankings

Mark Mangino resigned at Kansas.

He and Weis should go into the restaurant business.

Blount really punched that one in there.

Oregon ends the USC streak, and it will be Oregon versus Ohio State for the Rose Bowl.

USC's Holiday Bowl hope is alive!
