Marc Damelio

[NCCT]

Loving what Marc has been doing lately. Seems like he's helping the program and school gain even more hype since he's become a national presence.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

I love the fact that he mentions his teen daughters will not be attending so he doesn’t have to deal with a bunch of young girls screaming for his daughters while he tries to concentrate on the game. Happy to have his support!

I have no idea who this guy is or why his daughters' presence is a worth mentioning...

Never heard of him. Don't know who his daughter's are. I'm glad he's rooting for our squad.

His daughter has the most tiktok followers in the world with over 130 million. Take that for what it’s worth lol I’m sure the boneyard members young children know of them.

The amount of publicity Marc is bringing UConn cannot be stated enough, this is millions of eyeballs he's bringing to the school. I have no idea why his family/TikTok is a thing, but one tweet/video/TikTok from Marc/Charli/Dixie is as impactful as anything the marketing department could spend months trying to come up with

 

[Icehawk]

Yeah it was discussed in the X game thread, they are some internet famous ppl with “the kids” and now have a reality show. /shrugs

All four of them were at seton hall game sitting next to me. He’s a great fan. His daughters were distracted with reality cameras shooting and people trying to get selfies with them every stoppage . ( even with security behind them. They ( the girls) were great about it, but from what I saw the dad is a true blue huskies fan. Which isn’t rare for teen girls. My daughter came to everything once upon a time , now even begging doesn’t work.

We always talk about how UConn doesn't market the program enough and that we don't have enough well heeled alumni. D'Amelio and Skinner are great for the program.

They say that to become old is to wake up one day, and realize that you no longer understand the world you find yourself living in. I can't even fake it anymore.

Only reason I understand is because I'm their age.

Ok

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

 

[JustbrewitMan]

My college sophomore daughter texted me unprovoked before the SH game to jokingly tell me to say hi to Charli & Dixie at the UConn game.

The social media presence they have is ridiculous and UConn athletics/UConn as a whole can only benefit from them putting us on the radar to middle-school, high-school, and college-age kids.

Take the fortuitous luck that Marc is an alum and run with it!!!

Mora has been cultivating that angle since he got here. He’s no dummy.

The kids are cute, and his wife is pretty, but Marc seems like he could be anyone of us, which makes his family’s Internet fame, all the cooler.

Since this has become a thing, I’ve read his posts and he seems like a diehard Husky fan. I’m glad to see good things are happening for him and his family and perhaps even happier to seeing the athletic department taking advantage of the opportunity.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Having the D’Amelio’s around the program is great marketing for UConn athletics. Anybody that doesn’t see the benefit or criticizes is out of touch with the student population/gen z crowd.

That is crazy. I'm part of the old crowd and am no expert on Tik Tok but what exactly do they post on Tik Tok that makes them so popular? The only thing I can think of that would make them so popular is probably not allowed on Tik Tok.

I post something about UConn, grandma likes it.

Marc D posts something about UConn, 25 million people like it (including grandma).

No, but look at the bright side -- learning how to beg from your daughters is good practice when you're trying to beg from women generally.
