Dunkin Fan of the Game gets you a $5.00 Gift Card

Storrs South said:
It's about giving back to the fans, it's about showing appreciation and providing value, and enriching the experience. I understand why UMass has to do that, I don't even know if they get 3k fans a game.

But I do know that for next to nothing the school can improve the GameDay experience by bringing back things that were commonplace a decade ago.

They are in the midst of like a 10-15 game sellout streak and highest attendance in a decade. It wouldn't kill them to partner with a sponsor to allay costs and show some appreciation for season ticket holders and fans.

You know what improves my game day experience?

Winning and a couple beers.

Nothing more hilarious that 100k a year donors fighting over a Dunkin Donuts Tshirt. That is the best unintended "entertainment" we can have

My buddy was FotG yesterday as he and we were on the jumbotron a lot.
A rep came to him and handed the card and asked to hold it up when they ran the FotG graphic over him cheering away.

Same $5.00 cards as the ones they hand out en masse in the parking lot at the football games.

So he was offered 2 free coffees that he didn't have on Friday for doing nothing he wouldn't do ordinarily? Oh, the horror.

Did he give the card back?

It’s not a problem. I’m not here for the gift card. I’m here for the program. I was on the big screen all day too. Call me Mr. Mini-Hurley. Aka Han Durley, aka Fan Hurley
Expand ...
Ohhh, Fan Hurley would be a good handle.

Anyway, you’re a “fan of the building”, not of the game…
 
Vancat said:
Yes! And come on, even 1000 T shirts doesn't cost THAT much more than 500 T shirts. CHEAPO! Got to the game fairly early and didn't see any free shirts at all, on people, or people carrying them. Thought maybe it didn't happen.

I have been saying this all year...thanks for throwing out 10 T shirts to the crowd. WOW.

White out? Who TH has white UC gear? not me! It's all grey and blue.

That's all I got. Great games at Gampel this year, otherwise.

It’s all about timing…;)

ElGuapo, I was at that game and saw you on the Jumbotron. Two points: 1) good to see you IRL, and 2) your friend can’t dance worth a $5 DD gift card

Ha! I saw you: learn to dance amigo

I was trying to emulate Coach Hurley. He doesn’t dance. How was my impersonation though?

If you say you were the Hurley guy dancing in the aisle that day with some on screen time my hat's off to you.
Hilarious, made me laugh and was the perfect routine and timing for that fun atmosphere.
Kudos to you. Keep it up and may you win many $5 DD gift cards in the future!

That was a test run. Keep an eye out next year. I plan on doing it 1-2 times a year now! I got a great response and it ended up being the perfect game to do it.

How did no one get video of this? I feel like this needs to be on The Boneyard.

For now you will have to use your imagination but to help inspire just imagine a cracked-Hurley lookalike doing all of his normal moves and gestures in the section stairway wearing a cheap thrift store suit.
It was instant-classic lolz and I hope to see much more of it in the future.

Lol. That was a J.Crew pants/shirt/blazer! Other than that, you’re basically spot on.
 
And why can’t I upload my pic? Says it’s too large. Just a basic pic from my phone.

Phones these days can take absurdly high quality photos. A picture taken at the default resolution will be a multi-MB file. Gotta save that bad boy at a lower resolution.

Here it is boys. Me as Mini-Hurley aka Fan Hurley aka Han Durley. See you next year with an even better impersonation. This was take 1.

I’m literally laughing out loud here. Now if you add to that a little Hurley gesture pantomime, that is hysterical.

When the camera came on I was doing Dan Hurley gestures. Arms crossed...pointing at refs and yelling...and the classic pumping up the crowd gesture. Next year, my buddy might dress up as a ref and I will yell at him all game and get T'd up or tossed.

Add one of the orange colored Bai's (Ive got Hurley narrowed down to the mango or the clementine) with the label taken off and you are on to something here. Great job.

I thought of that. Tough to get a drink in. Next year I'm going to grow my hair out a little, dye it white/gray, and then shave the bald spot.

If you do that make sure your buddy has a red round nose as part of the ref costume because most of them are clowns
