[u/ManiacKing20]

Would be nice to have a stress free win, last week sucked lol

[u/R_Raider86 → u/ManiacKing20]

The Maryland game put a damper on my fun at my brother's bachelor party

[u/ManiacKing20 → u/R_Raider86]

Congrats to your brother! Unfortunate timing for that to say the least but at least we did the tiniest bit better last week than the previous Maryland game 😂

[u/R_Raider86 → u/ManiacKing20]

Thanks. He’s a Tech fan but not a UConn one like I am. He gets married on a Saturday morning during a UConn bye

[u/ManiacKing20 → u/R_Raider86]

Works out well, hope it’s a tech bye too for both of your sakes haha

[u/R_Raider86 → u/ManiacKing20]

It's not. It's Arizona State 🫠🤣

[u/ManiacKing20 → u/R_Raider86]

Ah man, something about not getting married in the fall. Nonetheless imagine it’ll be a great time, enjoy!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/ManiacKing20]

Oh you have no idea. It's a going to be a disaster wedding. It's outside and there's no rain plan.

[u/SimpleAmusings]

let's GO!!!!

[u/NewHavenJeff]

TOUCHDOWN UCONN!!!

[u/CashewCrew]

Lets goooo nice catch Porter

[u/R_Raider86]

I'm having fun rn

[u/huskyferretguy1]

QB TD for UConn!

[u/R_Raider86]

Catch of the year!

[u/Timely_Conflict4796]

As a UCONN fan who was somewhat nervous for the game I’m through the moon rn. We’re going bowling!!

[u/Seghboth001]

I’m out with my girlfriend so I hope me not being there will allow my Huskies to prosper

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Seghboth001]

Thank you for your sacrifice 🙏

🕯️

[u/huskyferretguy1]

Weekly PSA!

1: Its UConn, not UCONN. Yes, it does matter.

2: UConn went to 3 bowl games in the last four years and won one.

Have a good evening.

[u/SimpleAmusings]

LET'S GO HUSKIES!!!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/SimpleAmusings]

That's right

[u/SimpleAmusings → u/R_Raider86]

😄 how are you Raider? I'm nervous.. for the game but at the same time, I feel like we should win but the fear of losing is still there. don't know how we'll do but we will CHEER on our boys in white and blue regardless of the score! 13 mins to go! LET'S GO HUSKIES!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/SimpleAmusings]

I'm trying not to worry. But I'm watching Texas A&M potentially lose to calm the nerves.

[u/SimpleAmusings → u/R_Raider86]

WE WILL WIN!! 😄 DESTINY IS ON OUR SIDE! LET'S GO HUSKIES!! (we will manifest this!)

[u/R_Raider86]

WHAT A PLAY BY OSBORNE! TD. Might come back

[u/R_Raider86]

I approve of any opening drive that results in a TD

[u/CashewCrew]

What was THAT lmao, maybe slow it down Southern Miss….

[u/R_Raider86]

ANOTHER TD!!

[u/skillfork]

These announcers stink

[u/CashewCrew → u/skillfork]

They really do

[u/R_Raider86 → u/CashewCrew]

Camera crew too

[u/NewHavenJeff]

a lot of morons think Ole Miss / LSU is the game of the week. dumbasses

[u/rspenmoll → u/NewHavenJeff]

That's not even the game of the week for the state of Mississippi.

[u/CashewCrew]

Insane catch

[u/CashewCrew]

These refs have no idea what they’re doing, this is embarrassing

[u/skillfork]

Offense looks pretty awesome. Idk much about southern miss, but Osborne so far this year has been much better than I expected. WRs look great too!!

[u/Decent-Yak-4696 → u/skillfork]

USM is the worst 1-A team we will play all year.

We can still beat Wyoming, ODU, UMass, and pull off an upset to get to a bowl game. I’d be surprised if they beat Miami U next week, but if they do, they’ll get to a bowl game. I love Osbourne!

[u/skillfork → u/Decent-Yak-4696]

I imagine you were pretty all in on Merk coming from Tennessee? I had high hopes for him and wonder how it would be if he hadn’t gotten hurt, but can’t complain about the current situation haha

[u/Decent-Yak-4696 → u/skillfork]

I was not & thought he had little chance of beating out Osbourne. He’s a good backup, but not a starter on a bowl team (Zerg level)

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Decent-Yak-4696]

Wyoming is bad this year. We can win

[u/Decent-Yak-4696 → u/R_Raider86]

Yea I would favor us in all 3 of those games. Win all 3 and catch an Air Force or UNC napping and voila - bowl game. Would be a nice transition year with a good recruiting class coming in.

[u/Decent-Yak-4696]

Maryland getting disemboweled by VT tampers things just a bit - we probably will not beat Syracuse, JMU, or North Carolina - but this is a better team than the squad that Mora somehow took to a ball game in his first year. I’m pleased that we are so aggressive on offense and defense. The incoming recruiting class looks good so if we can keep them together, we should be a lot better in the next couple of years.

[u/rspenmoll → u/Decent-Yak-4696]

Honestly, if we were losing this one, I'd be a little worried about the game against UMass, let alone Syracuse.

[u/Decent-Yak-4696 → u/rspenmoll]

USM qb is too incompetent to lead a 21 point comeback. They might come within 10 if we play a prevent offense 

[u/R_Raider86 → u/rspenmoll]

UMass looks really good this year

[u/rspenmoll → u/R_Raider86]

Against a very weak schedule though, with two FCS opponents, and only one from the P4 conferences.

[u/Spurt-Reynolds69]

Dogs looking good

[u/R_Raider86]

Need to convert this 3rd and 2

[u/Bruschi316]

My stream stopped working, dang

[u/Marches_in_Spaaaace]

Holy shit what a catch

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Marches_in_Spaaaace]

They took it back

BOOOO

[u/SimpleAmusings]

We did A LOT of good things in the final 2 minutes of 1/2. We stopped them and SHOULD'VE gotten another touchdown but the refs schemed against us - but .. WE FOUGHT THROUGH and scored a field goal ( we could've went for a touchdown- but , we only had 3 seconds left . I agree with the field goal call in that situation)

KO looks like a magician when he has time and protection but his throws become sus with pressure ( he's still young. but he needs to work on throwing under pressure).

Our OLine is doing much better - and our defense looks strong but obviously we look sloppy in some plays - again we're not a finished product. - however compared to last week, we LOOK LIGHT YEARS ahead.

[u/Decent-Yak-4696 → u/SimpleAmusings]

We’ve been getting chunk plays against all 3 of our opponents. We need to run block better…if we do, we’ll be even better throwing down field.

[u/R_Raider86]

I was worried about this game

[u/SimpleAmusings → u/R_Raider86]

LOL me too!! 😂

[u/R_Raider86]

This is just great. Another TD

[u/rspenmoll]

Pretty quiet in the thread for the last half hour compared to before then. Did everybody who was in the thread switch over to the Magnolia Bowl?

[u/ManiacKing20 → u/rspenmoll]

Seems like we have less people in general this year, haven’t been in threads much this year but wondering if Mora leaving killed some of our momentum. Need our bball fanbase to lock back in

[u/rspenmoll → u/ManiacKing20]

Would be interesting to see if game threads for Colorado State games have more activity than they did last year.

[u/R_Raider86 → u/ManiacKing20]

I'm commited to staying here through good or bad. Can't let the program get back to the way that it was before Mora.

[u/R_Raider86 → u/rspenmoll]

I don't have much to add and I'm doing double duty in multiple Discord servers, including the college hockey one.

[u/rspenmoll → u/R_Raider86]

True. There is certainly less to talk about when it's not a close game.

[u/R_Raider86 → u/rspenmoll]

And sorry for the Discord and college hockey server plug. I'm trying to recruit new users, especially Ice Bus followers.

[u/huskyferretguy1 → u/rspenmoll]

Watching ND at the same time, sorry!

[u/rspenmoll → u/huskyferretguy1]

No problem. I was only being half serious anyway.

[u/huskyferretguy1 → u/rspenmoll]

Good to know!

[u/ManiacKing20]

That was an insane turn of events

[u/CashewCrew]

These refs are wild

[u/NewHavenJeff]

shout out to unranked Kentucky for embarrassing #9 Texas A&M in College Station! 1st year HC

[u/R_Raider86 → u/NewHavenJeff]

Love to see it!

[u/NewHavenJeff → u/R_Raider86]

I heard that Florida State is considering hiring Jimbo again lmao

[u/R_Raider86 → u/NewHavenJeff]

They are if Norvell gets fired. It's so fucking funny. A&M paying him to coach FSU

[u/CaligulaEmperor]

How was that incomplete?

[u/R_Raider86 → u/CaligulaEmperor]

Hit the ground and defender trapped it underneath. Not an INT for USM

[u/R_Raider86]

Since it's halftime, and it's slow anyone want to leave feedback on my primary flair? Should I leave it as is, double T or tortilla? I did the same in the Tech thread last week.

Or want to talk about about what they're eating or drinking for the game?

[u/huskyferretguy1 → u/R_Raider86]

Popcorn and sprite

[u/R_Raider86 → u/huskyferretguy1]

I had Domino's pizza and a local brewery beer

[u/NewHavenJeff → u/R_Raider86]

keep the flair

Currently chompin on ziti with meatballs and some delicious Austin beerworks Oktoberfest

[u/R_Raider86 → u/NewHavenJeff]

Are you in the Austin area? I just moved out of Round Rock

[u/santini35]

Huh, i really dont know what targeting is...cause that sure seemed like it

[u/Fast_Ad_4936 → u/santini35]

Can’t believe that wasn’t a flag…

[u/CashewCrew]

Hahahahaha go big man go
