I love those two guys, but honestly, if Raising Cane's isn't the ultimate example of societal failure, I don't know what is.

Wish they'd gotten a gig at Jersey MIke's with Danny DeVito instead.

Raising Cane's blows. Hopefully they're getting a decent chunk of change out of it.

All there getting from this is all you can eat chicken fingers.

I can't tell if you're serious. The 'yard is confusing... but they are definitely getting paid through NIL for this.

Sorry, joking my friend.

I didn't look at the username. I would've known if I looked... I think I ready too many posts in the other thread about how Karl Malone and Tim Duncan played four years in college to trust anyone today.

I don't live in Connecticut anymore, but maybe you all should go and buy the lousy food and then give it to the homeless. I am half joking, but if I lived in Connecticut I probably would do something like that.

It’s fried chicken, how bad could it be?

That would be trading in one crappy chain restaurant for another crappy chain restaurant.

At least Jersey Mike's has vegetables. Raising Cane's is food for six-year olds who throw tantrums if given a bone to chew on or something green and leafy.

Pretty sure the players got paid regardless of food order or no food order.

I am sure for this time they do. I know if no one shows up it's because Raising Cane's food sucks and not because of any indifference to Tristen Newton and Clingan. But if no one shows up, even with the revered back to back champions there, it will give pause for other businesses to provide NIL opportunities to the UConn basketball players because they might see it as not having an impact on their bottom line. That's why if I lived near Enfield I would just go. I am not casting aspersions on anyone that didn't go.

Y’all are wrong. Cane’s sauce is undefeated. Need to eat it in the south though - Louisiana especially - their franchises in the north aren’t as good

How often does the potential 1/1 pick do stuff like this? Talk about no ego.

 

[gsmooth]

Love it, love it, love it for Tristen, Stephon, and Donovan.

 

[Skiblets]

Keep that weight off Donovan!

Then use the sauce on crayfish, shrimp or oysters. Chicken "fingers" is not adult food.

Yeah, Mr. Connecticut is genuine. He stopped to sign my kids' rally towels at the team hotel just prior to them leaving to Barclays for the NW game without the kiddos even asking. He just saw them standings at the bottom of the escalator with a Sharpie in hand and signed away.

Love Raisin Canes..

 

[Huskyforlife]

I wasn't that impressed when I went, the sauce is good, but the chicken is small. But it's fried chicken so it can't be that bad.

Since they paid our guys though, I gotta give it a second chance.

Two UConn men's basketball stars were already grappling with potentially life-altering decisions — trying to decide if the time is right to test their skills in the NBA or return to college for at least one more year — when they were presented with a third option Thursday: slinging chicken fingers at a nearby fast-food restaurant.

Just tried it for the first time in Glendale. Saying it was “OK” gives it credit.
