Beware of the Casual Fan

[Chief00]

With the popularity of going out and watching tournament games, please be aware of the Casual Fan. I had one guy tell me the UConn Women’s team could beat a lot of Men’s D1 teams in the tournament. Chief said do you know Geno's Teams practice against former male HS players, so the games will be easier than practice. These former HS men’s players were not offered D1 scholarships.

I went home after that.

Did you walk out on the bill? Or is the bill always taken care of when Chief goes out?

 

[Husky Dad]

The chief is not handed a bill in UConn country. Word gets out he is there and they really hope for a positive assessment or brief. His Yelp reviews are famous. We won’t go out to a place that gets a bad review from Chief. Amex has inquired about partnership or sponsorship but due to anonymity issues it was a non starter.

Men’s sports under water. They are great ambassadors of the brand and fantastic people and hard workers, and I’d hire em and everything else.... but ... men’s sports under water.

 

[Jaybo]

They'd be blown out worse than a KO coached men's team. Unless they played a KO coached mens team.

Thanks for the warning. I saw several of them today at lunch at the sports bar. Their discussions were comical at best. But, I gave them a pass because as Casual Fans, it really isn't their fault.

I know next to nothing about basketball but common sense tells me a below average D3 men’s team would murder the chicks.

Chief I'm glad you were so composed. That could have gotten out of hand fast.

While I am on your side with the stupidity of the women’s can beat the men nonsense, what’s your obsession with calling people casual fans? The casual fan is vitally imprortant to UConn, like it or not.

Not the same sport, but the same principle: the Australian women’s national soccer team played an exhibition/practice game against an Aussie U-15 boys team a couple years ago.

They lost 7-0.

Chief...we need to win back the casual fan. You've should have stayed and educated, no matter how distasteful.

 

[browndog319]

Funny thing is most chicks believe it's possible.

Not the smart ones. You should talk to smart ones...

The men scrimmaged the women once during first night.

Got them off on the wrong foot and ruined the whole season.

 

[Travelman6]

Chief I need more pertinent info.

Good way to sleep with them - pretend to agree that the Women’s team would win.

You’re right - but it’s been a long week - lots of snow, lots of work and the UConn MBB team isn’t dancing. The Ollie thing is necessary but sad.

Actually, it was taken care of this time - LOL

Continue to do that - we need them in UConn Nation - and to fill the First Night seat Chief won’t be in - for TV optics

TCU is terrible

Casual fans are so dumb they don't even understand how you can be in Michigan and Connecticut at the same time.

Par for the course.

Chief is a national treasure. He must be protected
