The UConn Fast Break and The UConn Daily are merging

In partnership with

I want to start with an apology for the silence on this Fast Break Newsletter channel. Over the last year, a lot of the coverage that would have been in this newsletter went to Storrs Central and we kept the podcast going on Substack because it connected to Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Life in the future of media can be tough.

Also, welcome to the subscribers of John Silver’s UConn Daily — you’re in the right place.

In partnership with the guys working to make NIL financially viable for UConn athletics, I hit pause on the bulk of this Fast Break Newsletter operation in February of last year to work on Storrs Central, keeping our podcast and video show going on this platform with articles and coverage through April.

This season, some personal stuff got in the way for me and other members of our team. With family obligations piling up and full-time jobs in other areas, our ability to keep a video show going went away, but we kept the podcast up via Substack, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts:

That podcast and continued video production on what is now The UConn Daily YouTube channel are what the paid subscriptions to The UConn Fast Break, a newsletter for in-depth coverage of UConn men’s hoops, have been supporting.

Going forward, the newsletter will be going out again, and we’ve got more videos and podcasts coming your way.

We’ve launched a twice-a-week podcast on all things UConn sports. Along with John Silver, a longtime journalist who’s covered Husky athletics for decades at places like SNY and the Manchester Journal Inquirer, as the co-host, this show will cover football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, as well as hockey, baseball, and anything else that may come up in the world of UConn athletics.

We’ll also keep the Fast Break podcast going 1-2x per week, and once a week we’ll have a written newsletter: a news digest of everything, filled with links, social media posts, and videos that are essential to the UConn fan experience.

That means you should get at least four emails per week: The UConn Daily Podcast Show (General News & Commentary - 2x), The UConn Fast Break Podcast (MBB-focused), and The UConn Daily Digest Newsletter (General).

Our team also works on: Storrs Central, The UConn Blog, and the following newsletters: The UConn WBB Weekly, The UConn Hockey Hub, the Husky Football Forum, and Hook C Baseball. Our weekly digest and newsletters sharing the podcast will be sure to include coverage and context from these publications as well.
