So we finally cut the cord. Mrs. coachcap set us up with the fubu premier package. I noticed that fubu doesn't carry TBS or TNT & dropped SNY on April 9th. Are there ongoing contract negotiations or will we not see these outlets? The Mrs. Decided that we can just add apps to the Apple-tv...

Was just listening to Sirius-XM. During the "Coach's Stock Up" segment, he just predicted the Dan Hurley will be the head coach at Kentucky within a year as Kentucky is the "Bluest of Blue Bloods" & that the move is a career maker (whatever that means). In his next breath, he said that Dave...

May your holiday be spent in merriment with family and/or friends!

Mountain West agrees to schedule 6 games each with Oregon State & Washington State for the 2024 season: 3 home, 3 away. The latter two want to resurrect the PAC-12. The NCAA allows for a 2 team conference for a 2 year period. Beavers & Coogs will keeep PAC-12 logos on the field for the 2024 season.

Sorry for the lateness this week! A bunch of my group are out of State for the game or have family functions that will prevent them from coming to the game. So I took matters into my own hands: This week's menu: 2 rings of kielbasa from Filipek's of Meriden (one smoked, one fresh) Assorted...

So this morning on Sirius-XM Channel 84, Rick Neuheusel was discussing the financial effect that Coach Prime has had on the Boulder area (ticket sales, donations toward increasing endowment, increased merchandise sales, & sales in local businesses). The question was asked who else in the...

On Saturday, we had a post game tailgate to wait out the traffic. When we finally got home, I realized that my cell phone had slipped out of my pants pocket, When I called it, the phone went rang & then went to voice mail. A moment later, my house phone rang. The caller identified herself as one...

Some preliminary thoughts between the grandmas at our grandson's youth soccer game: Deviled eggs Deviled ham dip Devil's food cupcakes with blue frosting Burgers & dogs (grand-kids coming to their 1st game of the season) potato salad pickles, chips, salsa Formally meeting with tailgate crew...

Haven't heard back from part of the crew yet so here's the preliminary; Pork Ribs Corn Bread Cauliflower cole slaw Buffalo chicken dip & Chips Butter braid coffee cake Pickles Sandwich stuff for after the game Beer & other liquid libations

Triple checking the packing list. Plan is to be in Blue Lot shortly after 4 P.M. Let's hope that rush hour traffic cooperates. In any Case: GO HUSKIES!

You've been waiting! Will be serving: Racks on pork ribs (bought a 3-pack of Swifts Premium when they were $ 5.00 off at Costco last month & stuck them in the freezer) refrigerator pickles cole slaw, potato salad, assorted sides corn bread surprise dessert (I'm not in charge of that...

Am in Charleston, SC for a wedding today. Yesterday, my group had a beverage at a bar owned by Bill Murray that is made using cargo containers. Employees said that it has Husky games the huge big screens. Said that they were hopping durijg the March Madness run...

I have 12 season Tickets in my group & also purchased 2 extra at the recent promotional price. I just got back from a meeting & a manila envelope containing all 14 sets of tickets was on my doorstep. Earliest distribution ever? Note: I asked when ordering for printed tickets as my party is too...

On May 19th, I got an e-mail stating that, as I've been a long time season ticket holder, I could purchase additional tickets for just the seat donation price ($ 75.00 per seat). I called today to see if the offer was still available & was informed that it's good until the start of the season...

Heard today on Sirius-XM that the University of Colorado Buffalos have sold out their stadium with season tickets for the first time EVER...

Huskies Champion Appreciation Day: Yanks (welcome fellow members of the Evil Empire), Sox (Storrs IS part of New England & an additional opportunity to stick it to fans of the Thunder chickens), or Mets (satisfying members of Husky Nation in Fairfield County & Long Island). Now that I'm...

Once upon a time, Husky Men's Basketball played in the Yan-Con & a basketball season was considered successful if UConn took that league's title & beat Yale in the annual home & home series. In the 70's, success was defined by winning the New England Championship play-in series to the NCAA...

So you got to see the Huskies live early in the season ride roughshod over the opposition in your little invitational. You've had a few months to prepare the natty swag. Husky Nation EXPECTS to be drowned in clothing options immediately. "Git 'er done!" -lol

So the radio voice of the ACC tournament & the Atlanta Falcons was on the "Dusty & Danny" show on Sirius-XM. He predicts a Miami-San Diego St. final. He says that Miami's big men will be too tough for UConn to deal with. I'll put my faith in Sonogo, Clingan, & Karaban...

Got an e-mail yesterday from the athletic ticket office that we have until February 8th to renew tickets at a discounted rate,

4 goals in the 1st period, 5 total for tonight's game in a Sabres win...

Turned on the Troy-Coastal Carolina game. Troy's #0 make a slightly off balance one handed grab with his left hand & waltzes into the end zone. Has my vote for a spot in ESPN's top 10 plays of the day.

Was just on facebook & UConn is seeking 2023 football season ticket deposits...

So the last line of his 2022 forecast for the Huskies: "This will be an improved team but Mora is not a miracle worker & they do not make my Most improved list." Lol

Went to West Point for last year's game. Loved the pageantry as the Corps of Cadets entered the stadium, the paratroopers landed on the dot at midfield to deliver the game ball, & the patriotism displayed on site. The Cadets who acted as concessionaires were kind & courteous. Everything about...

So the Wolf Pack defeats the Huskies easily early in the season after UConn was depleted by injury at key positions. Later in the season UConn beats BCU easily after regrouping. Yesterday N.C. State was going for a record 17th straight home win & loses to the denizens of 'Nut Hill 21-20. Go...

The ladies in the tailgate crew decided at the last minute that the tailgate will be at a local eatery for brunch due to the current weather situation. Hope to be in our seats by kickoff. Sorry guys.

Was at the local gym working out & the television screen was set to ESPN's Get Up show. Dan was seated behind a desk wearing what looked like a Blue Santa Suit. Turns out later that it was a zip down N.F. Blue sweatshirt. At the first glance I was thinking that maybe he had a gift wrapped "W" in...

That an electronic billboard promoted Husky football? We used to be inundated with these ads in the Hartford, New Britain & Waterbury areas on I-84 & in Meriden off I-691. This week is Senior Day with a Top 25 opponent & bowl eligibility at stake. It's a perfect time for "Last Chance to see...

Last month it was the lack of pink apparel to be sold at October games to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last Night: A UConn student "associate" was trolling Blue Lot taking pictures & wearing a green baseball cap for Military night. The same cap was worn by the coaching & sideline support...

Not to get ahead of ourselves, BUT: She found out that the Liberty Flames' mascot's name is Sparky the Chicken, so next week's tailgate will be poultry dominated. As they are the Flames Habenero raspberry wings aren't out of the question. More details as the menu is formulated.

PLEASE have your physical tickets or cell phones ready at the gate! The Mrs. & I approached Gate C at 11:40 to enter the stadium. Too many ahead of us who were being chatty & not ready. Once they got to the persons doing the scanning, ONLY THEN did they start looking through their e-mails...

Many are working in my group on Friday (Mrs. coachcap in Torrington), so everyone is left to their own devices. I am picking up grinders from a local pizzeria for the two of us & my son. May also order a sampler of various flavored wings. Liquid libations will include beer, soda, bottled water)...

#1 Southington visits #2 Maloney. Ordinarily, I would make a point of taking in this matchup, but I have other plans... Maloney is sporting a 19 game win streak as they were last beaten by the Blue Knights to begin the 2021 season.

Took my grandkids to their first Husky football game today. There has, in the past, been a Dairy Bar truck behind the Jumbotron. Not today. Lots of other food truck choices though.
