I'm going. This will actually be my first Signing Day event. Have always been busy but luckily I have Wed night clear. Probably just me +1.

I've never been either. But would like to participate. Not sure I could get anyone to go with me. Would be awkward showing up alone not knowing anyone. Would be a cool experience though.

Going to my first signing event with a buddy who also graduated last year with me. Should be fun, except that they are kicking us out at halftime of the UConn/Georgetown game... At least its only a 10 minute drive home...

From those who have been in the past, what can we expect?

I know the first version of the flyer mentioned having the Men's game only until halftime... the most current version doesn't have that language though?

Very nice time. They have food stations for the first hour or so and there is a cash bar. Food is ok nothing special but it is free. Usually have about 5 - 7 current players there signing autographs. Coaches and administrators mingle around and are pretty easy to talk to if you would like. HCPP will probably say a few things. He will then introduce each assistant coach, who will talk about the recruits and simultaneously show video highlights of that player. There is an question and answer period at the end. Then we get to watch 1/2 of the UConn / GT game. I think that pretty much describes the event. Again , a very enjoyable time and look forward to it each year.

Couldn't have said it any better. Always a good event and this time should be no different especially with this class being coach Pasqualoni's first class.

Sounds awesome, looking forward to Wednesday.

I have practically begged my roommate to go. He won't. The gf is working and my other buddies either live too far to want to drive up or are working in Boston, so I've practically struck out. Looks like I will be sitting this year out again.

They are making incremental strides in promoting the program... maybe they simulcast it on HuskyVision someday.

My usual game day crew has a bunch of excuses this Wednesday too... I'm awfully tempted to go regardless.

Jimmy - will the +1 be the bird on the left or right?

Note to you guys not wanting to go single, depending on Jimmy's answer you can plan your evening.

 

[uconnsouth]

I wish.

I just received confirmation letter from athletic dept. They will stay opened till end off game.

Hopefully everyone that plans on going RSVP'd already since they're all full up this year

Big Time football. Some of us have been dreaming about it since 1991. We're on our way.

Going to have a big old eating grin all over my face at the stadium tomorrow. Probably won't go away for a couple days.

Hopefully, the people over in Storrs responsible for ticket sales are going to capitalize on all of this that's happening with this year's new ticket cycle.

Arrows pointing up.

Sounds like a simulcast on Husky Vision is in order... Paul P and Coach P make it happen!
