I agree. Out of 300 kids, there should have been at least one busload at the game. This is the new band director's first year with the band. Not a good start.
I am a former band member. I heard this morning that the School of Fine Arts made a decision not to send the Pep Band to BB games at the XL. A tweet from AD DB said that he would look into this. The only thing I can guess is that the band refused to show up in protest. I'm just speculating but...
Just got back from Houston. A very emotional atmosphere at the end of the game. What will I remember most?

I try never to listen to the women's game announcers on TV. Just tie into the streaming broadcast prior to the game and avoid all the frustration and anger. Hard to beat Bob Joyce on the radiocast.
Last March I went to a spring training game in West Palm Beach to watch the Astros-Yankees. I wore my George Springer #4 Connecticut T-shirt (purchased on-line).

I get the men and women now clear as a bell using the internet's "Tune-in Radio" app. It's free and the only way to get decent reception here in Orange (near New Haven). The 97.9 here in New Haven is a Spanish speaking station. UConn's 97.9 only works in the greater Hartford area. Because of a...
I have been a season ticket holder (men and women) since the 80"s. This was one of the better voices I have heard on the National Antham . Hope she gets a return. Great job!
Jalen did not lose the game (although he continues to shoot about 35% which is not good enough). The TEAM lost the game. All you need to know about today is (A) we hit 3 threes and they hit 12 PLUS (B) they had 17 offensive rebounds and outrebounded us by about 15 in the 2nd half.
Rebecca Lobo said it best during the Final Four. She said that any other coach with the same exact players would NOT have won 10 championships. It's the coaching, not just the players that make the difference.
Yes,annual Accounting Department dinner. I am a proud accounting alum. There do exist other departments at UConn other than the Department of Athletics, although many people do not notice. I am also a marching band alum (check out my photo at left). I was voted most spirited band member both my...
Drove by yesterday (Friday) on the way to the annual Accounting Department awards dinner. No change in sign. State new budget year starts July 1. Maybe that's the change date. Obviously had to stop by the co-op while on campus and left a wad of money after shopping for championship gear for...
I was at the Doubletree Hotel in Nashville watching the game in the lobby with the UConn women. The game ended and I high fived Stephanie Dolson and Kia Stokes. Then the women's team led the fans in UConn cheers. Awesome!
I think UConn getting 40% is pretty good considering a lot of people want a new champion. When I was at the Denver Final Four two years ago I came across two Tennessee "fans" wearing "ABC" T-shirts - Anyone But UConn. I told them that was pretty poor sportsmanship. No comment from them.
I was in the section (210) next to the students. It was almost like being in Gampel. I love these students. Exactly 50 years ago my freshman year I traveled with the pep band to our first elite 8. Friday and today I went with my son. It doesn't get any better than being there with family.
I called the UConn Club and told them it was a mistake to allocate 6 tickets each to the highest level donors., and 4 tickets to other high levels. That leaves out many "vocal" fans who must either pay inflated prices or stay home.
They told me that they would consider that in the future. Sure...
I drive home from games in Hartford and Storrs. When WTIC fades I switch to WELI 960 which comes in good for me west of New Haven. Last year I emailed both the New Haven Register and WELI that the Register wasn't even listing that the games were available on a local station. The Register...
