Usually in Storrs, college football is a placeholder, an opening act before the college basketball season begins. However, this year the academic rating is so low for UConn hoops that they're not allowed to participate in the NCAA Tournament. Therefore, they'll have to be a football school this year. LOL! Actually the Connecticut Huskies have come a long way since going … [Read more...] about #52 UConn Huskies: College Football 77 in 77

College Football 77 in 77: #58 Connecticut Huskies
When it comes to the Connecticut Huskies, it's hard not to think of college basketball ahead of college football.

What Is The Big Ten’s Next Expansion Move?
With Nebraska in the fold (and Zombie Tom Osborne apparently their athletic director -- seriously, he looks undead in that photo!), The Big Ten has some decisions to make. Do they stay at 12 teams? Do they continue to expand as all their major conference counterparts frantically do the same, or do they save themselves? Do they have any clue what they even want to do, or … [Read more...] about What Is The Big Ten’s Next Expansion Move?
