Overly local political observation: not sure how Democrats flipped seats in the CT state senate in places like Enfield and Woodstock where I thought the incumbents would be there for half a century.

Ray Allen talking on the broadcast about playing blackjack in Kevin Ollie’s dorm room at Alumni is super inside baseball (basketball) but I’m here for it.

I remember the old days when UConn would play Gardner-Webb twice in the same week.

Old man statement incoming: Roughing the passer these days is not very rough. Like, at all.

I know it’s a double number thing but that’s a great way to “hide” a superstar player on special teams.

That was a suuuper quick 3-and-out. Not what UMass needed.

Not sure who that pass was intended for.

I have to more than my share of UConn-UMass games in a variety of sports over the (many) years. Can’t remember the last time any matchup at this much buzz than there is for tonight’s football clash. Good for both sides.

Now, if we can just get Ray Allen’s team to match up with Marcus Camby’s team….

Also, I grew up near the Southwick jog (and almost exactly on the forgotten Enfield jog). It just means more.

The UConn football team’s takeover of the NFL continues.

On a bonkers day of college football, a bonkers finish to Miami-FSU, which remains a terrific rivalry game.

OK horrible holding call on Florida State, but how do you almost (well, more like did) give up back-to-back Hail Marys if you’re Miami?

(Going to be) a solid road win for UConn. Obviously a work in progress but a good bounce-back.

Have to throw it. Just have to. Horrendous execution on the goal line there by UConn.

Few teams enjoy prosperity less than UConn.

Not sure if that was roughing (it wasn’t) but amazing catch anyway.

Well, rather than giving up big plays via the run or pass, UConn’s defense has shifted to committing huge penalties. Bold strategy, Cotton.
