This is today's game as UCONN prepared for the kickoff. Embarrassing. Just a notch up from the pitiful attendance at the Senior Day ceremony. Husky Walk filled up in the minute or two before the busses arrived, thank goodness.

We stayed to the end. We always stay to the end. It was cold and raw and makes me wonder what the next few months will bring. Any changes this week? By signing day? By spring game? My head and heart hurt.

Mirror image from my vantage point in Sec202.
 
Just got home about an hour ago, my 4 and 7 year old made it through the entire game, didn't complain once until I explained that we didn't qualify for a bowl game. They were looking forward to getting on another plane!
 
The Razzle dazzle play that knocked Whitmer out did it for Us. We stayed till 4 minutes left. After Johnny Mac threw to his stationery targets wearing White Jerseys. How Fuxking Horrible were those throws? Goodbye GDL, its be not nice to know you.
 
people are soft nationwide. Arkansas cleared out at half time last week. No doubt, It was chilly. But, it wasn't 2010 Papa John's Bowl cold.

JMac's pick took care of it. I stayed to the end, what do I win?

You need to get a seat close to the opponents' bench and harass them. Doesn't get boring.

FWIW, I ALWAYS stay until the end. I had a lot of fun this season.

My observation, we do have a fanbase to build off. 33,000 tickets sold for this game. And we DO have an enthusiastic fanbase. People who did not even go to the school. Lawyers (wink, wink) to electricians. Many people just leave when they get tired of the inept coaching we have.

thank you coach pee pee, you're making the state obsessed with UConn football

I don't think it's possible for enthusiasm to have fallen farther quicker, this has to be some kind of record
 
My wife, daughter and I left early, said our seasonal goodbyes to close by season ticket holders, Brian and Jerry27 and found refuse in a warm restaurant where the steaks were cooked perfectly and the martini's shaken like Bond would like em. Sometimes it just make sense to alter the days plans by a fee minutes.
 
We stayed to the end and went to go tailgating in the parking lot to only to have 3 state police cars and 4 parking lot workers in golf carts telling us to leave now!!!, they had us circled and would not leave till we had things packed up. We used to have a 1 hour after night games...what happen to that rule?
 
I admit it - I left after Johnny Mac pass got picked. seemed like a flash back to last season and the program has regressed, if anything under Coach Pee.
Warde is spending way too much time micro managing how coaches should conduct practices, how players sit during MBB timeouts and he is totally clueless on the big picture. We ain't got a conference to play in and fans are dropping out like flees. He may have an MBA but he doesn't understand the business side at all.
 
Our recruiting hasn't regressed. It has progressed. The coaching is what seems to have regressed. General game management and offense.

Please give me a guy on the field making plays example of how it has progressed?
 
Dougsts- We'll see you next year, have a good holiday season.
I have to look at it like with every bad season there is hope for a better next season.

I'm embarrassed to say that I left with about 6 minutes left in the game. I always stay to the end. The wives in our crew went back to the vehicles (ostensibly to get the postgame tailgate ready) at the end of the third quarter. The guys in my crew had enough at the 6 minute mark. We went back & the women had the engines running & said that the tailgate was adjourned to my house in front of the fireplace. One couple in our group left at halftime to watch the 2nd half at Marguerita's. Spoke to a local physician this morning who stayed home & watched the game on television rather than test the elements. It's been a long season & people are tired. The weather was just a good excuse.

You're really badmouthing people for not going to games for having the gall to be serving our country out of the area? Reality check time.

Reading comprehesion check time. I didn't badmouth anyone for not going to games, just the opposite. I tweaked someone who doesn't go to games, for badmouthing others that don't go to games. I hate that.

Got in there right after kickoff. Had to cut short the tail gait to pull that off. But what the heck, UConn had momentum and a shot at a crappy bowl. Home game, maybe they can beat Cincy. Should have kept on tailgating. Left mid-way through fourth quarter. Should have left sooner. Uninspired play (can anyone besides Griffen & Delehunt not drop easy passes), incompetent coaching, university officials who are mismanaging an investment that is crumbling before our eyes. Too bad we're not down south. . . then we could stick with the tailgating.

I NEVER leave games early but it so flipping cold out that we left after Cincinnati kicked the FG to go up 34-17 with 6 minutes to play. Funny because as we were leaving and got to around the scoreboard area, Williams ran back a kickoff TD. So, we all looked at each other and decided to go back to our seats. Then came the sight of the flag and the penalty that called it back. Perfect way to sum up the season.

We walked over to the student section around this time. After the kickoff came back I couldn't take it anymore. My son was a trooper. We nearly always wait till the final bell. But yesterday I just couldn't.

Our receivers even show signs of not being able to catch the ball so smoothly during warmup.
 
But I officially introduced myself to BL, so the day wasn't a total loss.

You're in 241 as well?

I did see a guy with the Sec 241 hoodie. Was that you?
 
Sad game overall, but some bright spots. I was offered the comfy leather recliners in the end zone.... Of course! So that was cool. Dressed really warmly and still froze. Stayed to the end yelling and cheering. Especially when nicks TD run came directly to me! I'm yelling, jumping and screaming.... I just hope that's what he remembers, not the empty stadium. Oh yeah, screw Dez, Ed, and the like as they call out the crowd from the crystal palace they were sitting in. I love this team and all those men that fought for each other and for us all season. Till next year!

Hey - how are the view from those seats? Would seem crappy but not sure.
 
1.The student section was appalling this season. I thought this game would maybe be different, I was wrong.
2.I got to my usual tailgate spot (Silva's) around 1:20, thinking I was a little late. There were about 6 cars there.
3. Guy behind me yelled at me and my group for standing, saying his kids couldn't see. It was 35 degrees and sleeting, take your little brats home. Or find some of the 17000 or so empty seats.
4. I would be very surprised if the Michigan game doesn't get moved, or if the Blue and Maize don't back out completely.
 
Stayed til the end. No clue why.

I have Top of The Rent seats, but sat chair backs at the 50 yard line for Pitt and Cinci. Was cool and pretty sad at the same time.
