Well played sir

UConn men's program is right there with UH. The Huskies have won both an indoor and outdoor title over the last couple of years.

They are certainly making a strong case for getting in the Big 12 with this performance.

Ha! Thats an awesome name!

UH put out a highlight tape from the AAC Championships, and I noticed that not only did we go 1st-2nd-3rd in the 100m, but we also nabbed 4th and 5th. Also, notice the margin of victory in the 4x100m.

BEASTS.
