A lot of UConn 'fans' should be ashamed of themselves

[whaler11]

How spoiled is your fanbase when:

A. You host the conference tournament
B. You can buy all session tickets for $10 in decent seats

And still people are too good to show up?

The last three days were shameful for a fanbase who claims to be worthy of a P5 invite.

The posts here are the best in this context:

A: Tickets are too expensive
B: The suits don't show up
C: I can't get good seats

If you have ever made any of those three comments - you should shut up forever.

Kudos to those who showed up and kudos to the team today for fighting their rear ends off with a short roster and a bad whistle.

The Purvis chant was one of the nicer moments in program history (I'm 43 so I've got some context).

I'm sure everyone has their excuse - I hope you found an illegal stream to follow along instead of actually putting a little money where your boneyard mouths go.

Amen. Shameful turnout. Boston College bound written all over us.

Does that mean we get to play in the ACC?

Stupidity.

No it means it looks like we're a few years away from a few hundred fans showing up to games.

Do you just sit around and think of things to feel irritated about?

A few hundred? Really? From 8000 to a few hundred in a few years. People say ridiculous things

I think that for a 16-16 team with loads of injuries this is the turnout you get. That said, while it wasn't sold out there was a great crowd tonight that was into the game.

Ya'll getting off the soapbox now?

I'm one person so I'm not 'ya'll'.

We are supposed to have a great fanbase - sorry for pointing out the evidence shows differently.

Nope what I do is read years and years of posts from supposed fans. Then I notice many of these people are full of crap and I like to point that out.

Connecticut is a bandwagon fan base always has been always will be, going back to The Whalers.
I went to the USF game it was the only one I could make.
Not enough people have our passion.

Agree that 8,000 was disappointing to say the least but also feel that the AAC did a terrible job of selling tickets.

Actually, "y'all" IS one person. "All y'all" is more than one person. As I was educated by a rebel friend.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Shame is overrated.
Actually, it's unhealthy.
I can empathize with your upset though.

how many is 'ya'll'

 

[SlicinNDyson11]

Agree heavily with this, was in section 115 row G people behind me and my +3 were complaining we never sat down the second half. I asked if they actually cared if we made the NCAA tournament as was told to stfu. Very surprised that some people seemed to not care our postseason hopes were on the line.

Always someone to blame. $10 all session tickets are a big nut to crack.

I am wondering where these $10 tickets are. When we went to the box office at the start of SMU-UCF we we're told, $70, $90, and $110 available.

Also, there are consequences to going 15-16 in the regular season and having a bad year. Depressed attendance is one of them.

 

[Walker11]

Is the perception that we have a great fan base? It shouldnt be. We are no different than 98% of the rest of universities, though. The majority of P5 teams don't get "P5" turnouts when the team is garbage.

Thank you for the kudos.

They were available for a week before the tournament for all sessions. There are at least three threads on this board about it.

It's something a lot of people here claim.

Godawful, and I mean GODAWFUL, conference. Poor record this year. Limped to the end of the regular season. I'm not sure what you expected.

True facts: I paid 28.50 for two all session passes on Monday. If you live within an hour of Hartford and have 30 dollars I'm not sure what excuse you have for not showing up. P
