Tuesday Presser

Tuesday presser — Michigan week!

Game week is here. It’s been 9 months since the Huskies flattened an overconfident South Carolina team in the Papajohns.com Bowl and staring down the barrel at the Huskies is Michigan. There is just something about game week and an opening game in particular. Jordan Todman can’t stop thinking football. Zach Frazer has been focused [...]

Quick update

Been a long day and have had other things to run. As far as the juniors not returning, Mathieu Olivier was the only surprise. Guys like WR Kevin Poles and MLBGreg Robinson are graduating and haven’t really seen any field time this year. They can go transfer to a lower level if they want and [...]

Tuesday presser — 3 days post ND

Well, it’s another week and no one is confusing Syracuse with Notre Dame, but on the way up to Storrs I got to thinking, which is always a dangerous thing. A loss on Saturday to the Cuse would kind of nullify the big win. This week, against a dangerous Syracuse team, the Huskies need to [...]

Tuesday presser– What is mystique?

Notre Dame is different than any other college football team. We all know that. But, many of the players don’t even know why. If it wasn’t for Rudy (a good movie according to Zach Frazer) I am not sure any current college players would know a thing about Notre Dame. Why do I say that? [...]

Tuesday Presser — checking in late

A little late to the party here, but I had some work related things to take care of. This was an interesting day up at the Burton Complex. I was expecting a tight team, perhaps a little shell-shocked or even a little unsettled going to play No. 4 Cincinnati at ABC. Usually before big games [...]

On second thought, Lutrus is in

It was one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. Scott Lutrus was potentially gone for the year during Tuesday’s weekly press conference at the Burton complex. UConn coach Randy Edsall after three weeks of questioning said that the staff didn’t know the status of Lutrus because nerve injuries act funny.  Then the hammer dropped [...]

Tuesday presser

A little late to the party, but there is a stomach bug running through the Huskies team right. The main victims right now are quarterback Cody Endres and defensive end Lindsey Witten. Endres woke up this morning vomiting and he won’t be at practice today, which is somewhat alarming. Mike Box, the true freshman for [...]

Ultra quick update

Just some nuggets for now. * Scott Lutrus said he is going to play Saturday. Edsall wouldn’t comment until Thursday, but the captain said he is fine. He felt tingling down his shoulder as a result of the stinger suffered in the fourth quarter. *Gary Wilburn is the new backup free safety. He is also [...]

Tuesday presser

This was as ho-hum as it gets. After nine months and countless stories about the offense game week is here. The Huskies will travel to Athens, Ohio Saturday at 7 p.m. against Ohio University. It was as routine a press conference today as there can be.  It’s been that kind of camp too., No drama, [...]

Tuesday presser

It was a surreal Tuesday presser. There was Randy Edsall waxing poetically about his seniors. There was an incredulous Edsall saying he has never talked to Quadry Ismail, Jim Brown, or Floyd Little about the Syracuse job. Edsall is also in favor of a college football playoff (more than the plus 1), and he also [...]
