Uncle Verne and Lobsta:

Verne Lundquist to Emcee American Athletic Conference Football Media Days

>>“It will be an honor to have Verne Lundquist with us in Newport,” said American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco. “Aside from being a close friend, Verne is a great broadcaster and ambassador for college football and college sports. He has called virtually every major sporting event during his distinguished career and he will bring great insight and perspective to our Summer Kickoff.”

Lundquist will moderate roundtable discussions on national and conference-wide football matters on Tuesday, July 18, which will feature The American’s 12 head football coaches. Commissioner Aresco will begin Tuesday’s schedule with his annual remarks to the local and national media members in attendance.<<

Beauty and the Beast:

 

[Palatine]

Why the duck are they in Rhode Island?

 

[huskymedic]

Consistent...

2017 - Why the are they in Rhode Island?

2016: Must have been on vacation.

2015 - Why does the AAC meet in Rhode Island? True lunacy.

2014 - Why the heck is the media day stuck in that media backwater? It shouldn't have been there in the BE days. To put it there for the AAC is freaking ridiculous.

Fine whine that turns sour over time. When the media that covers the event stops showing up for it - then it's time.

I called to see if I can buy the helmet after the event so @whaler11 can wear it to the Rent for UConn games.

Who the heck is paying the tab for lobster at this shindig? The AAC is more of a beer and brats league.
