Connecticut Pride

Ya I have none, and frankly have never been a fan of the UConn Huskies, actually more on the anti-Husky train (Think Calhoun is a scumbag). But I think this is flying under the radar around the nation and perhaps speaks volumes of the level of mystique of the Husky program, no one seems to notice just how bad they are this season. Have you seen anything on Sportscenter about how the Huskies are losing to the likes of Depaul and Providence and are currently riding a 5 game losing streak? Nobody made a big stink of the fact the Huskies fell out of the top 25 for the first time practically in this millenium. Think the news would have been different if it were a UCLA, UNC or Duke type? Or am I overblowing this.

The Huskies 13-8 record is the biggest farce of it all, try to find a quality win in their schedule, I dare you. Basically they've beaten every other college in Connecticut and New England and have been dominated by good schools. They played two out of conference games of relevence LSU and Indiana, lost both. In conference? They are 2-6 with wins only over South Florida and St. John's. Right now the Huskies are positioned on the outside looking in at not the NCAA Tournament but the Big East Tournament. Did you ever see that coming? A UConn team that's not even in the top 12 of the conference?

I guess that's what happens when you can't keep any of your great players for the full 4 years and then have a mass exodus after a season where you should have won the National Title. Perhaps I'm being harsh, but UConn should be at a standard where they can have down years, but not to the point where they are arguably the worst team in the conference.

Do any elite programs keep their great players for four years anymore? Do any programs **period** keep a NBA-caliber player for four years? Do you realize that Calhoun is running all freshmen and sophmores out there?

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
