Random, but I've read that Bill Gates is a Diet Coke nut and he has one to start his mornings. Things worked out pretty well for him.

And Steve Jobs was a juicer... working great until it caused his pancreas to shut down and he died soon after

What pains me is if we had this guy 7 years ago we would be in the ACC right now.
Better late than never I guesa

But Warde was a rockstar! Alas he was hired to be an AD.

ssssshhhh don't tell freescooter but we secretly emptied out the Diet Mountain Dew and filled it with...

Then what happened?

AD Dave ran out of battery

 

[Adios]

Next time, they should be careful with hype.

At around 7:00, AD Dave was walking around section 202 introducing himself and thanking the fans for being in their seats before kickoff. I thanked him for the progress he's made, told him that it's appreciated and to keep up the good work. It's worth repeating... "he gets it."

ADD and REv2 have done what they are supposed to to. We just need players to get used to the system and get better. To have a second half after that disastrous first half was nothing short of a miracle.

My game feed was late getting started. What did the crowd look like at the start? Were people still filing in?

Those in attendance will know better than me, but from a TV perspective I thought it looked good at kickoff.

I missed kick off - thanks to FF County traffic. Got inside about 3 mins into the game. The amount of people still pouring in at that time was still very significant. Its clear, a significant portion of the audience is really just there to drink outdoors.

My dad looking good.

Beth Goetz also was walking the blue lot. The admins get it.

AD Benedict visited us in section 223 around 7 pm. He was great, said he had been awake since 4 am. I told him it was nice to be home after 8 months, looking forward to a new season and shared a story of meeting several players in Milford during the summer. I introduced him to my 12 year old nephew, who was seeing his first football game. He told Eddie to get ready for good things and to get back for more games. AD David Benedict gets it.

I thought juicing was predominantly a vegan thing?

I thought it was a baseball thing.

AD Daves level of engagement and commitment to Uconn Athletics is nothing short of outstanding! We are lucky to have this guy!!!

You can't be careful with hype. You either hype or don't. I completely support how Benedict handled the pre-game.
