The Nutmeg in a nutshell: 12/9

Being from Connecticut, I’ve noticed there are few (as in 0) sports blogs that cover the state the way it deserves. Okay it probably doesn’t deserve to be covered at all, but I’m going to give it a whirl anyway. I will try and post stories that seem interesting from around the state and link to them, updating this feature a couple times a week. We’ll see how it goes. Tips are appreciated.

Amid rumors that he’s in the hunt for the Boston College job, Randy Edsall has been busy contacting the current Eagles recruits in hopes of bringing them to UConn. Which means they’ll end up at Rutgers.

Dave Solomon doubts Ivy League athletic directors are going to agree to have a conference tournament. He’s probably right. The remote chance of seeing a team other than Princeton or Penn in the NCAA tournament is scary.

Fairfield basketball is really bad right now.

In what could have been the greatest thing to happen in Connecticut youth sports since Chris Drury’s Trumbull team won the Little League World Series, the Waterbury Patriots lost in the junior midget Pop Warner Super Bowl.

The state champion New Canaan Rams had their banquet the other day. The FCIAC football blog covers it completely.
