The stakes are incredibly high in today's crucial-ish Big East showdown between mighty Syracuse, who should've lost to a MAC team at home, and mighty UConn, which went ahead and did. The winner will stay alive for the league's somehow-still-existant BCS berth, which is just a stupid sentence in regards to these two teams (so pencil in the winner as your Orange Bowl representative). The loser gets to keep Paul Pasqualoni.

There are plenty of actual storylines to go around here, but Paul Pasqualoni has completely sapped my own personal enthusiasm for UConn football at the moment. Nevertheless, they will still be playing a game today at noon on ESPNU, against Syracuse of the ACC. We'll be talking about it in this here thread.

Let's go Huskies.
