Head Coach Paul Pasqualoni and His Staff Give a Video Presentation on the Latest Crop of National Letter Strength and Conditioning of Intent Signees PAGE HEADER A NEW LOOK FOR THE HUSKIES The 2013-14 academic year marks the debut of a new look for the uni- forms worn by University of Connecticut student-athletes and coaches of all 24 Husky teams. The two major changes will be the use of “UCONN” across the front of every uniform worn by each team and a new look for the Jonathan Husky logo. The new look is part of a new institutional branding and marketing program that uses “UCONN” as the primary mark of the University in all signage, publications, advertising and marketing activities. A new Husky dog logo was also developed as part of a review of all athletic team logos and marks, which in recent years had moved away from a consistent look on team uniforms. The new Jonathan Husky logo is a reflection of comments by coaches and student-athletes who participated in the process of reviewing the branding and logos used in the Division of Athletics. 2013 Huskies Football Media Guide THE TRADITION THE FUTURE 2007 and 2011 BIG EAST Champions Connecticut Native Paul Pasqualoni Is Home To Lead The Huskies 2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and Bowl Championship Series The BIG EAST Conference All-Time Leader In Career Wins And Conference Career Wins 2010 Papajohns.com Bowl Champions Made Nine Bowl Appearances As A Head Coach 2009 International Bowl Champions NFL Assistant Coach For Six Years 2007 Meineke Car Care Bowl Incredible Coaching Staff With A Combined 180 2004 Motor City Bowl Champions Years Of College Coaching And 31 As Head 2009 FedEx Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award Coaches Recipients Eight Starters Returning On Offense and Six on 16 NFL Draft Picks In Last five Years Defense School-Record Five NFL Draft Picks In 2013 Upcoming Home Games At Rentschler Field Against Michigan (2013), BYU (2014), Boise Two All-American Tailbacks Who Were Both State (2014), Tennessee (2015) and Virginia BIG EAST Offensive Players Of The Year (2016) THE CONNEctICUT FOOTBALL PHILOSOPHY Academics Are The Priority Conference Champions Head coach Paul Each and every year, the Connecticut football team expects to be a Pasqualoni and his staff factor in the race for its conference championship and the new American emphasize academ- Athletic Conference will be a highly-competitively and exciting league .

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.
