Nice...hopefully that rises before the season. It would be awesome to see it hit 3000!
Oh, it will. They haven't even started advertising for it yet. Not on CTTransit buses yet at least not around Hartford. Still promoting football. Speaking of football, I keep hearing "football is the ONLY WAY to a P5".
Hockey is a winter sport/programming that is growing in the NCAA and is essential to UCONN athletics. Hockey could get us into the B1G. If Rutgers goes D1, then that would make 8 for hockey in the B1G. If not, we have to stay in Hockey East. I'd rather stay in HE, but if ALL athletics goes it would be:
Minnesota
Michigan State
Michigan
Wisconsin
Ohio State
Penn State
Rutgers
UCONN
Every football, basketball, soccer fan should support hockey just as much as their favorite/primary sport. I'm not a huge bball/football fan, but I plan on buying ST to ALL 4. Attendance is HUGE in hockey. Hop on the #icebus! Even if you don't buy ST, I believe students are still counted in attendance #s Leading hockey east in attendance for the 2nd year only enhances our image and program.
We need a new XL center for UCONN basketball and hockey. We need a new gampel for hockey and basketball on campus. Why are we spending 10 mil on the roof? Invest it into a new dual hockey /bball arena on campus. The B1G wants and needs the statewide exposure of the XL center, but also wants the the on campus games. Think we could host frozen/final fours or other major tournaments if we had a new Arena.
