Cee Lo Green & UConn Football. Who knew?

Porter mentioned the Good Shabazz/Bad Shabazz nature of Shabazz Napier this year. Part of that is having to be the team's sole ballhandler with Boatright out. But I thought this wheel could be a useful tool when trying to figure out which one you're getting on a given possession.

According to ESPN.com, the Big East is considering adding teams from a pool of: UCF, ECU, Army, Navy, Air Force.

This is my retort.

Former UConn soccer star Bobby Rhine, the program's first MLS draft pick, died Monday night, after suffering a heart attack. Rhine was a two-time All-American, as well as a great student, selected as an Outstanding Scholar Athlete by the UConn Club in 1999.

Rhine had recently retired following a long MLS career, and had just started the next chapter of his life- as the voice of FC Dallas. He became well-known for his passion, and his experiences & wit were the hallmark of his broadcasts, as well as his twitter persona @BobbyRhine.

Rhine had tweeted/talked in the past about how much he enjoyed his time in Storrs, still following the team from afar in the years after he left. The men are again in the national title mix, but their return to national relevance in the 90's was built, in part, by the hard work of Bobby Rhine.

Rhine's offensive skill helped bridge the gap between the end of one legendary coaching era (Joe Morrone) and the start of another (Ray Reid).

He was just 35 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two children.

Astros 2011 First Round Pick George Springer made one of the NCAA plays of the year tonight. Enjoy.

UConn beats Louisville 7-5, clinches Big East Regular Season title, unveils new fight song replacement.

Campus reaction to beating Kentucky. Language NRSFW.

DC alumni watch goes crazy.

With a thought for or brokenhearted friends on Cardiac Hill. Chin up.

At least you won't need to take down that banner and add 2011 Big East Tournament Champions to it. Or make room for a meaningful one next to it.

Instead, it will hang forever in the Petersen Events Center, as a reminder of what once was, but so much more of what could have been,

You know, like all of your other banners.

A brief look at some of the atmosphere at MSG on Saturday night.

The Big East.
Where Kemba happens.

Steve Rushin just tweeted this link...his wife, Rebecca Lobo vs. Big Bird. It's hypnotic. Or something.

If there's anything better than crazy football trick throws set to MGMT, I have yet to find it.

They start out kind of ordinary and then escalate.

This was on the UConn Scout board, posted by user chewy5 and...it's brilliant. It's perfect.

It's everything we aren't going to miss and are thrilled about not having to deal with ever again.

Courtesy of former teammate Darius Butler, this is the injury that caused UConn's Scott Lutrus to play with a gigantic club on his right hand.

In case you forgot why football players are tougher/more clinically insane than you are, there you go.

Speaks for itself.

The Courant's John Woike had a great shot of Randy Edsall sneaking a peak at the Fiesta Bowl Trophy. It must headline the open thread.

It MUST.

Fox Sports Arizona clearly needs a higher camera position at Fiesta Bowl Media Day. Glorious hairstyles from the mescilin media, which have Randy Edsall enchanted.

After the disgusting Greg McKee news...here's something we can laugh about, as MMA legend George RUSH St. Pierre teaches Jonathan some moves he can use in advance of the Fiesta Bowl.

I know when you think about UConn-USF, you obviously think of the nationally-renowned baseball dance-off. But Randy Edsall isn't content to let that incident stand on it's own on this important day.

West Virginia.

Win.

Please.
