Who’s the QB from CT?
Will Levis, starred at Xavier in Middletown CT. Graduated in 2018 IIRC. I know he has ties to Massachusetts but he went to Xavier, one of the premier HS programs in the state. Joe Moorehead was the primary recruiter while at Penn State.

UConn-KU would be interesting, their QB who might be playing on Sunday in the not too distant future, is a Connecticut native.

He goes to Kentucky - not Kansas.

Ha, that charter was a nightmare...Bradley was not ready to handle us! Also, waiting outside in the cold at Ford Field until the buffet was ready...no fun. The stadium and the game were great though...
Not to mention getting back around 3 am the next morning. Waiting for the charter back to Bradley I was seated near a table that included then President Harry Hartley and course Dee Rowe.

I think he may be referring to Will Levis, the Kentucky QB who played at Xavier-Middletown. People often confuse UK with KU.
Yeah, my bad. Either team will be a challenge though. Lol

Yeah, I obviously meant Kansas, bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. Like UConn, their QB, Jalon Daniels got hurt. He was in the Heisman discussion before that. Seems they think KU will go to the Liberty bowl. There’s not much chance of a meeting between KU and UConn, just thought it would be a cool storyline with two teams that have been awful and turned it around.

Jalon Daniels is an interesting story. Hard not to root for him. Still not back. 'Who is this kid?' How L.A.’s Jalon Daniels went from unknown quarterback to Heisman candidate

Wouldn’t mind a quick trip to Boca.
There are worse potential destinations (including remaining on Storrs during bowl season).

I could be dead wrong but I see this as that bowl wanting as one of the participants. Here's hoping the only thing that prevents us from ending up there is that someone else picked us first.

I took a motor home with a bunch of guys I didn’t really know to Detroit for that game. We parked in a random lot in the city and the next morning were told we were beyond lucky it was not vandalized or worse.

I am a season ticket holder and I get none of these e.mails.
I have chairbacks in fact. I get my intel from you guys.
We have so few season ticket holders and the AD really does a tty job.
No email for me, I just googled it after the initial post...

Regarding SoFla Steve's post, I do recall good attendance in Detroit as it was our first bowl. Did we really show up en masse in Birmingham and Toronto?
Yes. I don't have links to prove it, but I was at both, and we travelled well.

It's probably your account settings. Check your junk mail, make sure you allow marketing etc. emails from UConn.

I got the email and don't have season tickets.

Do you have Cox as your internet service? I wasn't getting e-mails either until last spring. My sister, in conversation, brought up an e-mail about reupping for season tickets which I never got.on her email date. I called the athletic office & they said that they have problems sending emails to those with Cox Internet. The rep made a change at their end & I've been getting e-mails ever since.

I have pictures of the score board from all of our bowl games except Toronto was unable to attend that game. I like to take a picture of the final score. The Fiesta Bowl was the easiest for me cause I had moved to Surprise AZ.

As we blew most of our end of year discretionary budget on tree removal, I'm hoping for Detroit. I don't need sun or golf, just a game, good food, and a comfy hotel. Also not having my feet in a puddle all game while sitting on cold concrete like I did at the Military Bowl a few years ago. Four hour drive.

It's good for you, not great for most of us. Rooting for Fenway, even though it's probably a crappy football venue.

Serious question - Do secondary market sellers have to tell you if their seats are obstructed view?

I'm sure Fenway or Pinstripe would get the most UConn fans, and I actually could probably pull off NYC, although I'll have just been in CT two weeks prior.

Have to? I am not sure. Do they? StubHub and Ace do. If you buy outside of those, I really don't know.

Yankee stadium doesn't have obstructed views. Fenway has some for baseball because the seats point towards home plate. But for football the field is set up from the mound towards right and center field, so those might not come into play. Most of the seats are on the first base side and both teams are on the green monster side

Yup - This is the seating chart for when we went up to Fenway for UConn/BC in 2017. It wasn’t a bad game experience except for the crappy weather and the actual game itself.

I don’t hold out a lot of hope that UConn gets slotted into a bowl here this year unless things break super crazy.

I live here, so I like Boca for selfish reasons. Orlando is nice too because my oldest is at UCF, and I will take any excuse to go see him.
