Fiesta Bowl New Year’s Eve day edition
Out of the final press conference before Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl. Randy Edsall and Bob Stoops, and if I must say, reading the tea leaves I like the frame of mind the Huskies are in. When I landed here on Sunday I thought the Huskies were in for a very difficult game. I didn’t like the [...]
Fiesta Bowl Day 4
I have hit the wall. I am going to take care of all my preview stuff today as we have limited availability (coach Edsall at around 5 p.m. at his hotel) and that’s it. For your reading pleasure, here’s the story in today’s JI. Stoops, Edsall, Ferentz and Mack Brown are all from the CLass [...]
Fiesta Bowl Meida Day
Just finished up from media day and have 15 minutes before the Soooners come in. Media Day is just that, everyone is available, unless you went out and got sick last night as Mike Ryan and Dwayne Gratz did. There is a stomach bug going through the team and it claimed Twyon Martin on Tuesday, [...]
Fiesta Bowl Tuesday Part II
Went out to practice with Mr. Neill Ostrout and there were just a couple of notes from it. First is Mike Ryan looks healthy and participated fully. There was also no Twyon martin who is back at the hotel with flu-like symptoms. Other noteworthy sights include Marcus Campbell working out on the sidelines. Apparently he [...]
UConn has a puncher’s chance
UConn is a big underdog and no one expects the Huskies to defeat Oklahoma. Coming out of the press conference on Monday I thought there was no chance for the Huskies at winning. The OU offense is that explosive. Now, I just left today’s press conference which was UConn offense and OU defense. Now, I [...]
Fastbreak football
Greetings from the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale. To all the people back in Snowpocalypse 2010, good luck getting out. 65 degrees, no humidity and a slight chill, which is perfect for New Englanders. We had the first player press conference meeting today and UConn defensive coordinator Hank Hughes, as always, was terrific. UConn coach Randy [...]
Lang out, Generett in
Tough blow with the defense as safety Mike Lang is out for the Fiesta Bowl as an academic casualty. Harris Agbor has started at free safety for most of the season, but Lang has had a ton of action and was seventh on the team in tackles with 41. Agbor has 34 tackles and four [...]
Greetings from somewhere in O’Hare
Greetings and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Festivus. Moved up the flight from Monday to Sunday morning to beat the Nor’easter and here of course I am stuck in Chicago after my flight to Phoenix was overbooked by 30 seats. 30 seats! I may be here awhile, and it’s a good time to catch [...]
Bowl media day
Long day here taking care of football stuff, wanted to hit the blog while at the HCC (doing some freelance work for men’s hoops). It was a pretty exhaustive media day and the one thing I did come away with is that the Huskies are sick of how they are being perceived. It’s easy for [...]
On that bowl money
So, how much does making a bowl game give to UConn? Here are the basics of the revenue distribution. The Big East gives more revenue to the BCS rep (unlike the Big 10), so that means of the 6 bowl eligible teams that are headed to bowls the Huskies will get the most. The Huskies [...]
