For me, it's still the Pitt game under the lights in 2004. Everything from the tailgate to the game just felt big time. I've still never seen the Rent as electric as it was that night. The Palko problems communicating to the offense, the Perkins pick 6, Walt Harris inexplicably taking a knee at the 1 before halftime to center the ball for the FG unit. . . . . . . . . .that was a fun night.
 
The Rutgers game after Jazz's death, when Brown caught the touchdown pass in the end zone. I started to cry and so did the gal sitting in front of me.

The time I got locked in a stall in a deserted women's bathroom. I yelled and yelled,
Finally the cleaning lady came in and got some guy to finally kick in the door.

All the freezing cold days,the monsoons,the snow, then hail days we all sat thru.
 


@gampelcrazies @tcf15 do you guys have the full Houston game with the 1080 audio? Tried to find it on uchg.com but didn't see it

Opening game against Indiana - set the tone for the program.

Michigan - brightest lights ever at a UConn home game.

Houston - reestablished the tone set by Edsall after the PP meltdown

I will have to check. I stopped doing the WTIC syncs because most of the time the recording would fail. I might have it on my other computer.
 
Randy Edsall being reintroduced as UConn football coach :)
 
Without a doubt HCRE going for it 4th and 1 on the 21 against Pitt in 2010. Todman got 4 behind the blocking of Anthony Sherman and an awesome OL and the rest was history. The WVU game was also pretty good.
 
My favorite Rent moment was back in 2010 when Pitt was undefeated in Big East play. I believe the Pitt receiver Baldwin or something like that just made a nice catch in the back of the end zone. The Rent was packed, but it was as if someone died. I've never hear 40k people be so quiet. Then the kick off to Nick Williams busted out for 95 yards for a touchdown. And immediately after "Sandstorm" played over the loud speakers and every single fan in the stadium was bouncing up and down. It was as if you were watching waves in an ocean. Still gives me chills to this day almost 7 years later.

The DJ/Pitt game was mine because my daughter and I moved seats and ended up near some obnoxious Pitt fans. It was 31-17 at that point and they were whooping in up and having fun pooping all over UConn. But boy did that change fast! After the game, I went down to the first row and called over the first player I saw....if memory serves it was Dan Davis and got the biggest sweatiest hug I ever got. Man, were those kids happy! Such a great memory.
 
The biggest I was in stadium for was last year's win over Houston. Storming the field! My wife almost having her shoulder dislocated high-fiving an O lineman. Getting to meet Arkeel Newsome. Big fun!

Watching on TV- beating USF and sacking Grothe on the last play (2007?)
 
A couple..

The Pitt 2ot game.

The LT "fair catch" game vs Louisville.

The win vs Houston. Made it down onto the field with my son who got a pic with arkeel
 
Still bummed that I had to leave the Pitt 2OT game at the half to do some family thing that I can't even remember what it was.
 
In all honesty...every game I attend is my favorite. I love football that much. Watching a game live, a UConn Div 1 Game live, is icing on the cake for me.
