Thanks guys for coming and thank you to Tom for helping make the Boneyard table a success. Sorry I couldn't spend more time with you, but I was a little tied up with the particulars of the evening. Was impressed by Steve Greene, Byron Jones and Chandler Whitmer. Folks, next year the event will be bigger not sure if it could be better.

Not a great pic, but you get the idea- new board will fill the entire space that was previously taken up by the old board and ad space.

Also- ribbon boards will go from the 25 to 25 along each sideline.

The field is in EXCELLENT shape.

Thanks for all the info Mike. What are ribbon boards?

Thank you for running a great event. One that is a must for all Husky fans.
 
The electronic boards between the upper and lower level - good for info exciting the crowd, etc

I'll be there. Glad I started coming to events like this instead of hemming and hawing over them. It was excellent.

I really wish I could have come through. Sorry I wasn't able to. Next year!
 
Another little anecdote/tidbit from last night- Heard that the incoming freshmen are eating up the playbook like never before. Apparently it took last years class a little more time to get comfortable with it. Chalk that up to whatever you will.

Meeting UConnBill and CT Mike was nice. Always good to put a face to a name.
That was a fun evening. Seeing the locker rooms and being on the beautiful new field was a nice bonus, and the food was really good.
Can't wait to see the new scoreboard and ribbon boards. The new scoreboard is going to be huge!
Coach PP does like the leadership of the AAC. Say whatever you may about PP, he is a class guy that only has positive things to say. You can see why the CT high school coaches like him.
The players seem very upbeat and positive. Steve Greene is a nice kid, I will pull for the O-line a little harder this year. Sometimes you forget how young these kids are.
After spending some time at the RENT, and seeing some of the staff and players, I can't help but feel good about what could be a very exciting season to be a UCONN football fan. Let's have some fun this year!

The silver lining being last year's class was able to decorate their dorm rooms with the play book.

Should I not mention that a wallpaper joke was made by P?
 
.-.
Steve Greene stated that the lineman coming in knew the playbook pretty well already which is huge. They look more ready as well than last year's class.
I am excited about the offensive line overall.
 
Since it was brought up......can we hear the wallpaper joke that P made? And the context?

Hardcore, just a request: Please try to get next years event moved to either Wednesday or Thursday as during the previous regime. Tuesdays are sacrosanct at my business (partner's day off), so I can't attend on that day. And, before the 'Yarders say to switch day's off, I'm saving my chips for weekend conflicts with GAMEDAYS. One has to prioritize.
 
Unfortunately, the coach (Edsall and P) come directly from Newport, RI- so whenever the AAC runs their event will dictate when we get the Coach. However, I have some ideas to take this up a notch, I will investigate and Coachcap, will do what I can to assist.
 
.-.
I forget exactly but I believe it came up from an audience question... It was asked to the players : It's 3rd and 1- what play are you telling coach that you want to run to get that yard? Chandler was very diplomatic and said that the players play and the coaches coach... Greene said a power sweep I think so he could pull and block. At any rate P made reference to having enough plays to choose from that they could wallpaper the Rent.

This just validates those of us who have been touting the "3 year rule":

Year 1 - didn't recruit any of the players ends up 5 - 7 (year ends with 2012 class)

Year 2 - switches Offensive line scheme to zone blocking and starts to recruit to that scheme end up 5 - 7 (year ends with 2013 class)

Year 3 - players come to camp knowing the zone blocking scheme better than the guys on the roster who were recruited/brought up in a power blocking scheme....O-Line improves as does the record

I think that's a large part of it. It's not just a matter of P's guys, but P's guys are now well versed in the schemes. I also think another part of it is TJW being responsible for teaching the offense as a whole, with GDL focusing on line only.
