Checking In With the Huskies at the 1/4 Mark

The UConn season in just three weeks has already been an up and down roller coaster.

Cupcake, Win over Ohio 23-16

The season started off with what should have been an automatic victory for the Huskies, a matchup against MAC doormat Ohio. For the most part the game was a walk through with UConn leading 23-7 after an early fourth quarter touchdown. The Huskies gave themselves a little bit of a headache after giving up 9 unanswered OH IO points, but were able to slam the door in the end.

Heartbreak, Loss to UNC 12-10

This is one of the worst losses of the college football season. The Huskies had their chance to make a statement at home against a ranked ACC team and they were getting it done. They were up 10-0 going into the fourth quarter but after a UNC field goal, a 3 and out, and a UNC touchdown they found themselves tied with the ball on their own 20. After a fumble which pushed the Huskies back to their own 8, they attempted a screen pass to the right hash. Unfortunately their left tackle was beat badly on the play a dragged down the defensive end in the endzone for the game losing safety. No statement game.

Bounceback, Win over Baylor 30-22

Heading to Baylor after the tough loss to UNC could have either given UConn the extra motivation to bounceback or they could have let their disappointment linger and gotten smashed by Robert Griffin and his Baylor Bears. The Huskies choise the former, and came out guns blazing at the start of both halves. They scored on three of their first 4 drives of the game and in the third quarter expanded their lead via two additional touchdowns. And this week the Huskies were able to hang on.

Again for the Blogpoll I parade as a UConn football fan so this is keeping with the spirit.

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.
