I’m expecting a UConn road warrior 2.0 in 2026: basketball vs Michigan Friday 11/6 at TD Garden then Football vs UNC at the Rent on Saturday 11/7 @Chris_Grosse

@andrewtaylor @uconnfan2021 What I love most about this play is I’m pretty sure that not even a single Temple offensive lineman crossed the plane of the endzone

This was actually a program-changing play

@joearruda9 @CalhounColonel @HuskyTracks11

@CalhounColonel @HuskyTracks11 Heard he had a wrist brace on, didn’t see it. Haven’t seen him since I sent that tweet. Obviously will ask when this is over…

Jake Merklinger left the field, came back with a hoodie under his jersey and shorts on. Looks done for the day.

@UConnSN @LockedOnUConn @UConnFootball Gotta disagree strongly on this one. Osborne looked very indecisive and held onto the ball way too long. McDonald was well ahead of him and hopefully Merklinger is well ahead of him.

QB BATTLE Will provide detailed analysis later today on @LockedOnUConn Here's my assessment of @UConnFootball QB race 1A Kalieb Osborne 1B Jake Merklinger GAP QB3 Tucker McDonald QB4 - Bo Polston - unknown - could move up a peg, but was not available today @UConnFootball

@UConnSN Had a brace on his wrist

QB Jake Merklinger left the field for a bit, now back out in shorts and a sweatshirt under his jersey Seems like his day is done #UConnFootball

@thadsawyer_18 Found him… brace on his wrist

@M_Insero26 I haven't seen him since

Jacob Merklinger is the first QB out for UConn The Tennessee transfer is leading the huddle as the Huskies open the day with red zone offense Merklinger threw a touchdown on the first play and just rushed for another

@StorrsCentral Where did Merklinger go?

Osborne now in at QB

@UConnSN Did he leave the field? Haven’t seen him out there since then

Merklinger just overthrows Treadway on 2nd play. Tried to layer it in, back of end zone

Goal to go situations up first Merklinger finds Toledo transfer Ryan Treadway for a TD over the middle #UConnFootball

@kc_dos_siete @balkwhisperer @RentMySUVs @sullyengels I hope someone does a deep dive on this, it’s a lot going on and a very unique situation. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the home plate ump didn’t see the pitcher step off because it happened so quickly and the catcher was blocking his view

@balkwhisperer @M_Insero26 @RentMySUVs @sullyengels That could definitely be why. But does he actually have to cross the plate before he steps off? Live it’s tough and can’t kill him but he does step off before the catcher gets ontop of the plate

The Springfield Cardinals stole home twice in a row. First Dakota Harris, then before the Drillers could throw another pitch it was Trey Paige Can’t say I’ve seen this before at the professional level. Might be the first time ever

@balkwhisperer @RentMySUVs @sullyengels Actually the catcher is running in front of the plate while the pitcher is still engaged, maybe that’s the difference (just guessing on the fly here)

@balkwhisperer @RentMySUVs @sullyengels Watching it again it looks like he does disengage, potentially he’s calling a balk?

@ClimbingHuskies Was good meeting you out there (my son and I sat behind you for the Illinois game)! Hope to run into you guys in Hartford and Gampel

1 more…let’s bring it home!! #UConn

@MikeBeauvais Ray: I’m all packed Ray’s wife: are you sure that old shirt still fits Ray: yeah I’m pretty sure Ray’s wife: do you want to try it on? Ray: no it’ll be fine

[Earlier today] RIP HAMILTON: What are you wearing to the game tonight? RAY ALLEN: A child’s XL shirt. RIP HAMILTON: Wait, what? RAY ALLEN: A shirt made for a husky tween. RIP HAMILTON: I don’t u- RAY ALLEN: I will have to cut it off with scissors.

@PitchingNinja Obviously not completely relevant, but as a little league umpire if you call the rule book strike zone you’d get chased out of town with pitchforks. Balls in the dirt absolutely clipped a portion of the zone but when everyone at the field thinks it’s a ball, it’s a ball

If you're an umpire, do you call the rulebook strike zone (the strike zone as it's always been, which is still in the official rulebook) or do you call the ABS strike zone?

Umpire incompetence or a Rulebook/ABS Mismatch issue? 🤔 This pitch may have been both: -a Strike according the rulebook strike zone (3 dimensional/starting at the front of the plate), and -a Ball, according to ABS (2 dimensional/measured at the middle of the plate).

@uconnfan2021 I booked mine to cincy. Figured it’s the same drive to Boston or NY, just on the other side

Flights to Indy are insane. Is better move to fly to cincy and rent a car then drive?

@Yankeespride28 @uconnfan2021 The key is to book your hotel room in like February. You won’t be downtown, but you find a spot 15 minutes outside of the city that is fully refundable

@ajak1033 Always appreciate when the crew recognizes the crowd pop and stays absolutely silent to let the moment stand on its own

Napier to Giffey…Timeout Michigan St. Is it 9:45 yet?
