OT: Robert Burns has big day at UConn

[RadioRahim]

Good for him! And loved to see Deejay Dallas repping his old teammate (he liked the post, hence why it showed up on my timeline). Wish Burns could have stayed healthy at UM but glad to see him have success elsewhere.

It is wild that he is still playing college football. He and Scott Patchan were roommates their freshmen years.

Just looked it up and he's 24 years old . Covid years messed everything up from an eligibility perspective. But I hope these guys are having a great time and living out their dreams!

Did 2 20 leg ML parlays with heavy favorites and Liberty was on both. Thanks Burns you jackass….nah but good for him.

I was a huge fan of Burns. But kid was injured for 6 years from his Junior and Senior year in high school through four years of college.

It was a win / win that Burns landed in UConn and had a fresh start. Edwards the same with Rutgers. Thaddeus may be next man up if he can’t get some traction soon.

Want to see what great coaching is? Look at UCONN and Jim Mora...they have literally a bottom 3 college roster and have played a tough schedule. Bowl eligible now after defeating a really good #19 ranked Liberty team....UCONN hasn't been to a bowl game since 2015....let that sink in.
Fvckin Mario and staff need to step it up

You see what Mike Elko is doing at Duke?! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT, they were 5-7, 2-9, and 3-9 last few years.. They are 7-3 right now, I dont think anyone saw that coming..

To be fair, Mora has started out w/ a bang every where he’s been. Like literally, every where. For some reason, the longer he stays at a program whether it be the NFL or CFB, they begin sliding precipitously around year 3. Not sure y, but at a program like UConn w/ very little pressure being that it’s a b-ball school, specifically women, he may have found a home where winning 6-7 games a yr is great.

Brotha, I did. I peeped that ACC Roadshow & I called it out pre season. It felt different, like he was coming in to bring in a, & I hate to say it, but a SEC mentality. I legit loved his energy

I definitely missed it but its evident, whatever he is doing its working.. Dont they have a couple former canes coaches over there? I know our old SC coach is there

I see what you're saying...but nobody wanted that UCONN job...like no one...that is the worst program in D1....roster is trash and in year one has them going to a bowl game for first time in 7 years and just beat a top 20 team. That is coach of the year stuff....

But we're being told to wait 3-4 years for Mario to turn it around due to a "lack of talent."

Mike Elko hired Kevin Johns and has their most talented QB in school history playing for him right now.

I remember back when Jimmy Johnson took over…Burns and Patchan were two holdovers from Schelly. They were two guys who got it immediately. Amazing to see them still playing all of these decades later.

So??? Jim mora to Miami? And I'm not talking about the son I'm talking about his old man. Jim E. Mora

If UConn and Duke can get things rolling in god**** year 1, Mario has no excuses

Thats awesome to hear. I'm glad Burns is just able to get out on the field. I always felt bad for all the bad luck string of injuries he had at Miami and before
