Anyone else get a call from Nick Williams?

[specialisthusky]

Got a marketing call from UConn around 6:30 tonight. Picked up since it was an 860 area code and to my delight it was the ticket office marketing the opener Thursday night. Nick Williams read the message just getting support for the game. One line that stood out was "Let no ticket go unused...". Really a great effort this year from the ticket office for the first time in awhile.

Just got the same call. I also noticed the "get in your seats early" message.

Got a call with a recorded message from Joe D.

And he's calling for everyone to wear blue!

 

[junglehusky]

Same here. I'd like to echo the kudos to the athletic department... it would also be cool if they can afford to buy some spots on AM / FM radio too.

No phone call for me but did anybody else get 2 free tickets in the mail to the Umass game?

Yup, part of the season tix renewal package.

Yup, part of the season tix renewal package.

Thanks I did not know that

For real? Can you share the details because I didnt get any free tickets.

 

[Doggie Style]

Sure. Actually pretty good seats too, sec 134

I guess 203 area codes don't qualify for the calls.

I'll still be there on Thursday for the Husky Walk, band intro at 6:40, video introductions, captains walking onto the field....GAMEDAY.

Yeah, I'm serious. I renewed my 3 year deal and they offered 2 free fix for the Umass game. Maybe u can call the ath dev office and can work something out?

I am 203 and got call this evening from Nick - arrive early and wear blue. No free tickets though.

 

[uconnell]

What time did Nick say the gates will open?

There was a promotion about a month ago. If you ordered season tickets, the A.D. threw in 2 extra tickets to the UMass game. I don't think it applied to anyone who reupped before the promotion as I did.

 

[huskymedic]

What time did Nick say the gates will open?

In the 203 and Nick said parking lots @ 3:30 and gates @ 6:00.

Nice job by Athletic dept. - felt like I do when I get my call from Mickey/Minnie/Donald just before a Disney Vacation.

 

[Palatine]

I'm in 202 and Nick called me around 7 PM.

 

[Doggie Style]

What time did Nick say the gates will open?

3:30

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

3:30 eh? I thought night games the only opened 3 hours before game time. Another hour of tailgating, you say?!

 

[TouchdownHusky]

I did. He said he too believes that UConn's offense needs to be a whole lot more effective in the TD dept. He said he wants that ball thrown to him a lot more than in the past few seasons. He even suggested that as good as Lyle McCombs was last year,he needed a passing game to open things up.

All seriousness Nick Williams is a player hard not to like. Best wishes to you Nick and your teammates.

My wife told me I had a message on the voice mail. I guess my face lit up like a Christmas tree because even my 3 year old son asked what it was. In 48 hours we'll be in the 4th quarter of a (hopefully relaxing) game. Can't wait!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

In his call to me he said there is nothing wrong with also having a solid running game and he is sick of TDH's incessant whining about our passing numbers form 2005-2011.
