Connecticut Huskies Officially Have the Coolest Helmets in College Football
It is an absolute shame that the UConn football program does not get much national attention. I so want to see the imaged of a running back bearing down on a poor defensive back or a hulking defensive lineman moments before he sacks the quarterback.
It will be like White Fang attacks.
I know the school said that when they redesigned their logo they took great pains to...

Tonight’s Game Will Be The Biggest Of The Season For UConn
The Connecticut Huskies don’t have a whole lot to play for this season. Other than a few guys being able to showcase their talent and impress NBA scouts, the 2012-13 season is pretty meaningless for UConn.
UConn was declared ineligible to play in the postseason in 2013 because of a low academic-rating. The University appealed the decision twice, but the NCAA stood their ground...
