Let's talk UConn Football!
Unfortunately, @PCalin33 was unable to join me this week. He'll be back ready to go next week.
In this discussion, I cover the loss against Syracuse and prepare for the matchup with Temple.
I say some things that may ruffle some feathers, but just know, I love this team, program, and fanbase. We are heading in the right direction. Keep showing up, supporting, and cheering for this team.

Would be nice to be contacted about these kind of reports. Wasn’t aware of this. @UConnHuskies
NEW: Miami (OH), James Madison and UConn have contacted the American Conference about joining the league, @Brett_McMurphy and @PeteNakos report.
Despite overtures from those three schools the conference is not expanding at this time.

🚨WOW!!!
A Bronx pizzeria owner saw a woman eating out of his GARBAGE.
He walked outside, took her by the hand, led her in, and pulled a hot slice straight from the oven for her.
She sat down and cried. He said: "Don't cry. Eat. I don't want you eating out of a garbage." ❤️
His name is Daniel Romano.
He owns D'Romano's Pizza in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx.
He didn't shoo her away.
"I grabbed her by the hand and I led her to the pizzeria and I went in the oven and I got her a fresh slice and gave it to her. Sat down and she started crying. I said, 'don't cry, eat. This is not a problem.'"
In that moment, he decided he'd never let it happen to anyone again.
So he grabbed a marker, wrote a sign by hand, and taped it in his window for the whole neighborhood to see:
"To the people eating out of my garbage, I have more love for you than you think. Please come in and tell me you're hungry. I will forever give you a slice and fresh water to drink."
When they asked him why, his answer was simple.
"Right now, I think this world is shot. There's too much hate. Too much negativity. Why not put a smile on someone's face?"
And it turns out this runs deep for Daniel.
It goes all the way back to his mother, Carmella.
"She had a saying in Italian. She used to say, 'a desperate person will always make a better decision on a full stomach than on an empty.'
"It always stuck with me. So I feed people."
A desperate person makes a better decision on a full stomach.
That handwritten sign has traveled way past the Bronx now.
Daniel says people are calling him from Texas, Arkansas, Hawaii, even Alaska, all wanting to chip in and buy slices for hungry strangers they'll NEVER MEET.
"Don't ask me, I didn't even know Alaska had a phone."
It all started with one slice.
One woman.
One man who did something kind.
GOD BLESS Daniel Romano. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In 2021, when I started covering UConn Football closely, I didn't know if this would happen. I knew it was possible, but it had to be proven.
It's proven that leadership, talent, and commitment will take a program a long way.
Much more is in store for UConn Football! – at Eureka, IL
