President Sean Rabinowitz is a great friend and consultant. Husky Huddle along with Husky Talk has grown to become the best coverage for UConn Football. Husky Talk returns with the power of former UConn Football Defensive Lineman Ron Gamble. A fascinating story from playing a one season of youth football, which turned out to be a nightmare, Ron was a big boy and at 10 years old was playing with 12- to 13-year-old kids who knocked him around. Not a fun experience. Ron played at a smaller school at Maryland and was the starting Running Back while the best athlete on the team played QB. He and his father went to a company with all his game film, where Ron sat for hours picking out his best plays to put together a VHS highlight tape. Very time consuming and hard, they sent out 20 tapes. Ron shares a funny story of a school actually sending his film back with a note. He was offered by the UConn Huskies and Howard University. His official visit to Howard was.....well..... Ill let him tell you what happened. At UConn, his visit was great, and he committed on the spot to play fullback. As we all know, life tends to throw you lemons, and we know not to make lemonade, we take two oranges and chuck them back at life. Because of injuries, Ron was moved to Defensive End, where he never played before. A steep learning curve, Ron fought through and did his best being on the field as a true Freshmen. However, after that year, Ron became a dominant force on the Defensive Line. Putting on weight, grinding it out lifting, he turned into a beast. From his sophomore year on, Ron kicked ass and took names. He was a senior when I was a freshman and I was terrified to look at him. Ron threw me around like a sack of shit. He had a great career and majored in Communications. Now, he is in law enforcement, working as a school resource officer and coaches high school football, along with having 4 kids. His 13-year-old is a talent, plays football and Ron will be coaching him. I probably said 5 words to Ron when I was a freshman. Loved talking with him, a very nice and funny dude, we wish him the best. UConn Football is on a roll because Mike Burton and his team have been raising money for Bleeding Blue For Good our NIL collective. We have to step up and donate because every dollar count. It's not all about the huge donations. We need more UConn Alumni to be involved. Donate $200 or $500 dollars, as long as more people can give, we will have continued success. Mike was kind enough to have Kelly Greene and I sit in his suite for the Temple game. I witnessed how much we have improved and the outstanding talent that we brought in. Mike had laid the foundation for us to back where we belong as a great program. Please go to www.bleedingblueforgood.org and give whatever you can.
