Do your actually want the team to win?

[BugsyCT]

I thought the decision to run the clock out at the end of the 1st half was the right one at the time because 1) we got the ball to start 2nd half, and 2) the offense was sputtering & needed to regroup.

And as it turned out, we drove down 1st drive 2nd half and scored a TD. It worked out.

Sell more beer in the stadium! I love having a beer while watching a game.

For the 4th time in as many home games (I nomadicly scamper around the stadium) I’ve had “UConn fans” around me actively rooting against and second guessing the team. Getting quite tired of it I nearly lost it today at a shirtless 40 yr old behind me who had the muscle tone of a 9 yr old and in his opinion way more football IQ than our staff who was vehemently cheering when calls he disagreed with didn’t work. Are you on this bored? Someone simultaneously bald yet prepubescent?

Can’t really fault anyone who is buying tix and showing up these days but I’m quite weary of these clowns. Cheer on the team.

These idiots and their lack of football knowledge would be funny if they didn’t always make me consider homicide as an option to shut them up.

There's a bigger issue here. Is it just me, or has the country generally been taken by a virus of negativism? Seems like everybody has an opinion about everything (rarely factually-based) and that everyone else is an idiot. I sense a long-term problem with this.

Someone please tell me I just see more random dolts...

It’s kinda like the Walking Dead and beer is the virus. Some of us are immune and some, well....

I agree. Wine coolers only. A few of those and the kids sleep the whole ride home.

It's the internet/social media age. Brings out everyone's inner douchenozzle.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Geez... and you’re not a little guy.

Beer has been making brave men of fools for centuries.

 

[whaler11]

I actually didn’t have any morans near me and that was the most fun I’ve had at a game I think since Edsall 1.0

It was a total circus on the concourse though - sun + homecoming = drunks.

I want this program to win every game. I always have and always will. I even was complimented (not sure how else to say it) by a coworker for continuing to care and cheer for a team that "is basically irrelevant." I will never give up on this program or the kids on the field or the coaches/kids on the sideline. I was very proud of their effort today. VERY PROUD. I thought the defense really stepped up. 3rd down is still an iffy subject, especially in the first half, but the offense came out guns blazing in the 3rd quarter. Defense collapsed in the last half of the 4th quarter. Penalties didn't help either. But I was happy with what (little, thanks to work) I did see.

 

[uconnbill]

I had drunks down in front of me cheering and screaming when UConn was on offense which doesn't help and others around him were trying to quiet him down, without much in a way of results.

Fans sitting on their hands and leaving early just drives me nuts. Don't get me on to the student section which used to be a strong point and now is empty by the 3rd quarter

A couple more wins this year and I don't think the student section will be a problem anymore.

People show up late cuz they need that last beer at the tailgate, then leave early when it's an actual good game. These people are only there to say that they're there and get drunk.

It starts at the top of the house, unfortunately.

But t least they are there. Once HCRE gets the team rocking they will stay, especially if that is the socially acceptable behavior.

I am ecstatic about the progress I have seen, especially defensively, from game 5 to game 7. Let's keep this going!! I think the team looked great today. Not the most stellar first half. There were some flashes but the defense stood its ground and applied a TON of pressure.

Only on the Boneyard will you find a thread complaining about the fans after a really nice win by the team.

Only at a UConn game will you find fans complaining about the coaching in which the team led wire to wire.

This is very false.

 

[Bryan Lord]

The ideal fan in the eyes of a yarder:
Arrives to the lot early wearing the block C from head to toe
Turkey and ketchup tail gate
Drink 3.5 beers
100% submissive during full body cavity search
Gets to their seat early
Slowly nurses one last beer in their seat
Applauds gentlemanly when we score
Stands on 3rd down defensive stands only
Stays 15 min after the game ends to take in the great winning tradition
Hits the packy on the way home to get proper drunk before having to deal with the wife and kids again.

 

[TheDrifter75]

This is very false.

I actually agree with you. It was simply a smart alec retort to the comment I was replying to, which is also very false, but in no means meant to be takin completely seriously. My confidence in the BY is not high, however I feel a few will get the point of my original statement.

 

[Waquoit]

Drink 3.5 beers

No Yarder would respect someone who leaves half a beer.
