Maybe he's at the Field Hockey game today and that'll sway him to choose UConn..The football game matters in a way of trying to give him the best possible experience while on campus for a visit.
Watching a team get their butts kicked in an empty stadium does not help have the best visit experience possible. Especially when the team that did the butt kicking is the favorites.
Weird time to visit and I hope we get him back during hoop season.
