Over the years there have been many places where UCONN logos have been placed on TV programs, etc. - not to mention the "UCONN to the Big 12" shout out at a recent golf tournament. It would be nice to gather some of these up. Got some?

I saw this in yesterday's (8/26/16) comic section (NL Day). Note the screen saver on Miss Blips' computer. It would probably be some kind of copyright infringement to insert the comic here so here's just the link.

The Walkers work in Stamford. An interesting thing is that Mort Walker's son Greg, who works on the strip attended Syracuse.

UConn references (shirts and such) were periodically showing up in Hi and Lois a few years ago. I recall reading something several years ago about the UConn references in Hi and Lois. Apparently there was a niece or some other relative in either the Browne or Walker family that was going to school in Storrs when the UConn references started popping up in the strip.
