Bowl Game Interest?

This is a no-brainer. Please please please take a few minutes to put in for tickets. No obligation or cost, but we need ALL the help we can get to play in a bowl with no conference or bowl tie-ins. Fan interest will be a factor in getting an invite.
 
I do want to note one thing. Many here are saying pledge at no cost. It is likely the Athletic Department is going to make a binding pledge to get the bowl berth — that it will sell or buy so many tickets. And the number will be based on folks’ response to the email. With the result that if many make pledges just because they are non-binding and don’t come through and purchase, the Athletic Department may be spending money it wouldn’t spend.

And maybe it needs its money to increase salaries to keep Mora and staff.
 
I'm in for 2.

If people can't attend they can always donate their tix too.
 
I agree with what the athletic department is doing and it's the right move. And yes, we still need to win a game. That being said, I feel like every year there aren't enough bowl eligible teams to fill conference slots. I'd imagine/hope that if we're bowl eligible, there will be a spot for us somewhere.

I would go to Albuquerque or El Paso without a second thought. Of course their both an easy drive for me from Phoenix. If the game is in Boston or New York I'm donating two tickets.
 
just entered for 2
Go UConn
 
Can someone forward me the link? I didn’t attend UConn and haven’t been to a game in almost 10 years. I’m in a good financial position now, would love to donate tickets to any student willing to go. I’ll be out of the country all December.
 
looks like the link is going nowhere now when I try to show interest in purchasing.

Athletic Department email

I just received an email from the athletic department gauging interest in attending a bowl game (see link).

If anyone who is not a season ticket holder (would not have received the email) is interested, please let the athletic department know.

It sounds like a) we will need to lobby available bowls for an invitation and b) guarantee a set number of tickets sold.

This is merely a guess on my part but there is a chance that the school won't lobby very hard if they don't believe we will attend the event. If you want us to go to a bowl and have the available resources (time & money) please support the program.Don't want to get ahead of ourselves

Don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but talking about a bowl game is, more or less, surreal!
Hats off to the players, staff, coaches (especially Mora) and the whole community. A lot of people were whispering doom and gloom before the season, but so far it has been a pleasant surprise! Whatever happens in the next two games, we are getting a little proud again. At this point, what the hell - let's get at least one more win and make things interesting!
 
I don't think the person who writes for Athlon Sports liked the way we looked against UMass this past weekend... don't think he/she believes we can beat either Liberty or Army to get a bowl opportunity (nice bulletin board material for us):

We went 8-3 as an Independent before joining the Big East and didn't get a bid. Has something changed?
