I can't believe Good Knight FL chided me over my Pitt tirade, yet, he's let this go on so long

IF true, Edsell will need a police escort next year when the Huskies come to Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.

I think we should put a bounty on frickin cheating Taylor next year! I also hope we kick the brains outing of UConn cheating football program!

Wow - some of you guys changed your tune pretty quickly. The night the game was over some of you congratulated us on this board, but now you want a bounty out on Taylor(who is a senior this year, so you won't get your chance - sorry) and now the whole program is a bunch of cheaters. Whatever, man. This one play has been magnified way beyond proportions so that it now overshadows the entire game, and you guys are just riding the momentum of the backlash. UConn fans can't defend what Taylor did to compromise the rules, but it's not like he murdered somebody for Pete's sake. You wouldn't have thought twice about it had the ref blown the play dead like he should have. We have other athletes on our team that play fairly and work hard, too, y'know. But nobody wants to hear about that. The whole program is dirty now, right?

You Cards fans want to hate us now, fine. We're used to it from other schools. No, many UConn fans are not proud of Taylor's actions, but it went down the way it did, the ref BLEW the call, the result can't be changed, and hopefully Taylor has learned his lesson and won't do it again because it does set a bad precedent for a player's safety on fair catches. Who knows, maybe it will help tighten up the rules on fair catches now. But a lot of this generalized venting is unfair IMO.

You are confusing the issue, the play itself did not cost UofL the game. What is pissing us off is that YOUR COACH and it seems YOUR ADMINISTRATION is condoning his actions. That IMHO is disgraceful and hopefully the New Coaching staff has the balls to handle it. I do know the old coaching staff knew how to handle this the next time we would play.

A bounty? Have you lost your mind? It was a college football game. Most of the UConn fans I know are disappointed about how the whole thing turned out and do not condone blatant disregard for the rules. I have no idea how Coach Edsall really views the whole thing but I have never seen him as a coach who cheats or takes other shortcuts.

Resorting to threats against student-athletes is completely crossing the line. I would never wish that on anyone from Miami or BC, much less a Big East player, so get a grip. Mike Tranghese has done everything the rules allow him to do against the referees and Tom Jurich agreed with his actions. I also believe Larry Taylor is a senior this season.

Io bad, we owe him one good personal foul!

You were the one who typed the word bounty, Wilkie, and that term conjures up very negative images of things no one should ever want to see happening to any young student-athlete. Do not get angry. Just admit that it probably was not the best choice of language and move on. There is no place for a bounty of any sort in NCAA sports.

You do not think players deal with cheaters! You never played football then! You do not get mad, you get even!
