Lightning in a bottle? That would be an exaggeration. More accurate, perhaps, to say that Connecticut football plugged into a 120-watt bulb from 2007 to ’10. Just enough to illuminate a false beacon of hope that still faintly glows today.
The Huskies went 33–19 in that stretch, tying for the Big East championship twice and finishing fifth in the league twice. They did not win more than nine games in any season and did not win a postseason game more prestigious than the PapaJohns.com Bowl.

Le Batard, who left ESPN in 2021 to create Meadowlark Media, congratulated McAfee in a tweet while also reminding him to remain his authentic self.

And Judge’s eyes were aimed towards the Yankees dugout just before a Blue Jays pitcher delivered his pitch.
As OutKick reported Monday night, Blue Jays broadcasters speculated about Aaron Judge’s intentions with those look aways.
As Alejandro Avila wrote, “The Sportsnet TV broadcasters called out Judge for peering back and forth at the visitors’ dugout during the at-bat.
