We have an orgy of content for you! See our UConn game roundtable, cfaller’s paean to Cam Gordon, chitownblue’s breakdown of the laughable UConn program, and dex strapping his hands across MICH’s engines once again.

Finally, this was written/posted before I read Orson’s eerily thematically similar (and excellent) post here.

After agonizing over musical accompaniment for this season … I returned to an old friend. Take it away, Professor …

I picture Rich Rodriguez hunched on a couch with a notebook in hand while silent practice film flickers on the screen. He takes a note, rewinds, and takes another.

Who in the fuck wears a double breasted suit?

Comrades, I am from Connecticut. It’s a nice, albeit boring place. Yes, there are clam-bakes, town squares, and copious amount of lobster. Even some appreciable amounts of political corruption. There’s plenty of money (highest per capita income in the US!), lots of cigar wrappers, Julia Roberts’ old pizza parlor, guns, subs, helicopters, and plenty of Insurance. And Yale. And boat shoes, obviously.

Depending on their locale in the state, people generally follow New York or Boston franchises. So what I’m saying, really, is that there are plenty of front-runners. The single largest rooting interest in the state is Women’s Basketball (wonder why?) and the lone professional team is owned by (and plays at) an Indian Casino. UConn Basketball grew in possibility the moment Tate George propelled them to the Sweet 16 in 1990, and now, apparently there are college football fans.
