---------------------------------
Wrap-Up: Some of UConn's greats are riding off into the sunset after a dream ending to 2021, culminating with National Title #2. There are fewer uncertainties swirling above UConn this offseason as compared to last with a solidified conference and a head coach who isn't going anywhere. But with key players leaving, who will step up to replace them and who will join the fray as UConn preps for life after Ice-Jax, Luke Williamson, John Cox and Shav? Stay tuned to your favorite football dynasty thread to find out. 
End Of Season Eight (2021)
My comments were in no way inspired by you or anyone else, just my criticisms of my own work, which I'm good at making! I absolutely understood that you were talking about Stephen's comments, so no worries. Personally my favorite BB quote came when asked by the media about Gronk's concussion after last week. He said something to the effect of "it's not open-heart surgery".
I'm looking forward to getting the offseason up soon as well, now that we've officially put season eight in the books. This offseason should be rather straightforward and go by rather quickly; primarily as we aren't dealing with the same dramas of last season with coach and conference changes. Thanks for the continued support Helli!
