Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 2922423, member: 2920"] We are absolutely the worst team in the country. We might be the worst FBS team [I][B][U]ever[/U][/B][/I]. And yet, if the weather is decent, there will likely be 10K-15K actual living and breathing fans in the stands to watch us lose to Temple 60-something to 20-something. You put this roster (after 8 seasons of losing) in front of every NCAAF fanbase in the country and I doubt many would considerably outdraw UConn. I always remember Calhoun's comments about UConn fans after he was hired from Northeastern. Always said that taking the UConn job appealed to him because no matter how bad UConn teams were - and there were plenty of bad teams pre-Calhoun - that the arena was still full or close to being full. And while 10K-15K fans in a 40K stadium is not good on a grand scale, it is truly impressive considering just how awful of a product that takes the field week in and week out. Seriously, I wonder how many fans Alabama or Ohio State or Penn State or USC or Florida or anyone would draw if they were 1-10 and give up 700 yards / 50-60 points a game and lose by [I]at least[/I] 4-5 touchdowns every week. I really hope AD Dave and the UConn BoT and the incoming school President see this and finally make a commitment to properly funding football. There is zero excuse to be dead last in the AAC funding football for a school/brand as big as UConn. [/QUOTE]
