Hooja.....only difference for me is that I'm backin' UConn bro....looks really good bro....BOL to ya.....hopefully you beat the man down and be able to ask him "Hooja Daddy"....LMAO

:thumbs:

JoePa, do you mind if I ask why you are playing UConn? I was looking at Toledo but would certainly appreciate your insight on the game.

[joepa66]

Sure bro.....I've seen both play....UT has lost their leading rusher (by far) for this game, I think that UConn has played a bigger schedule, not loaded with Central Mich, Eastern Mich, Ball State, Ohio U, Western Mich....thus they have been more battle tested vs. teams like Georgia Tech, 'Cuse, WVU, Pitt, Boston College (all bowl teams I might add and probably at least a step higher than Miami-OH, BGSU, NIU....)check out my thread bro I've got most of the info posted there....and I think that although Gradkowski is a quality QB you've got to consider SOS and also the QB's that UConn has already faced....Reggie Ball, Tyler Palko, Rasheed Marshall, and even BC's Paul Peterson before he broke his hand....he picked apart Penn St's D and they were one of the top rated D's in the country.....I also think it's a small step up in competition but UT has to be able to run the ball in this game to win.....Gradkowski cannot be asked to throw the ball 50x...GL bro, hope ya hammer 'em!

Good to hear your thoughts are similar to mine Joepa, definitely helps when respected cappers like yourself are on the same ride (except for that Toledo/UConn game).
