Sadly, the Fat White Guy — also known as UConn defensive lineman Rob Lunn — lasted but one play against WVU. I asked afterward and was told a pre-existing injury was too much to play with and he gave it a shot but was unable to continue. In his blog today, he confesses it was an “upper extremity” issue and that he not only missed the chance to play against WVU, but that WVU missed him.

I enjoyed battling Mike Dent (center) all last year and we spoke briefly after the game. He said he missed me (I miss your musk), but he was glad not to see me out there, that it made his day a little easier. I don’t know about that, but I appreciate the ego stroke, Mike.

True to form, Lunn was honest and accurate with his assessment of the game.

I would love to bash West-V but the truth is they played a complete game and we didn’t. They adjusted at the half, not schematically but mentally, and that’s something that we didn’t do. We failed to come out of the locker room with the same Rock-em-Sock-emmentality we had going into the game. We had them dead to rights and couldn’t seal the deal.
