2016 Road Game Plans: @ECU- Saturday, October 29

[Drew]

With the game being at 12, we were hoping to have people begin to meet at Professor O'Cooles around 10-1030.

Even though we are technically still advertising this on the UConn Alumni Association website- Professor O'Cooles wound up being pretty difficult to deal with so there will not be catered food or a formal ticket process like the Navy game. We are highly encouraging any UConn fans coming that do not have a place to tailgate/meet to meet at O'Cooles and drink/meet/engage, however there is no formal ticketing process or sign in. Its simply a spot that the Alumni Association is encouraging people to meet at before the game that do not have anywhere else to go. Hope this clears things up.

Any UConn fans in Greenville yet?

Stopped at O'Cooles, manager said UCONN event cancelled. Don't know where the new venue is.

What was the scoop w/ this? - curious.

Combo of a lot of things. I was helping Josh Proulx and the Alumni Association try to set up an event through the UConn Charlotte alumni chapter. O'Cooles was the only one that would commit to us a space large enough to hold enough people to host an event. We had been in contact with them back and forth and were trying to finalize a food menu and sign a contract and then poof- they stopped responding to us. We reached out to them multiple times to which they either never responded or "took a message". We hadn't heard anything from them in almost 2 months and then they contacted us on Wednesday and asked if we still had interest in doing the event at which point we said no.
