Check In Florida Husky Fans - Roll Call

Boca Raton checking in. Go UCONN!!

Good idea AmeriConn. I'm going to do you one better. I'm always saying that there are a lot of UConn fans here on the west coast. Well, let's see just how many of them there are that visit the boneyard. I'm starting a WESTERN REGION roll call. This will include the 11 western states of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California. I'm interested to see what kind of response I get.

Why are there UConn fans in Florida? Shouldn't you be rooting for the hurricanes or gators or whatever mascot Florida State has?

Hoops my friend, the UConn WBB team has fans in ALL 50 states!! Coast to coast and border to border. Whenever they go on the road, especially to play a top 10 team, they ALWAYS attract a large contingent of UConn fans. There is even a small contingent of UConn fans in Tennessee and Indiana.

[EasyEd]

I'm in the Solivita retirement community in Polk County. I had Husky season tickets from 1996 - 2004 and have been to 4 final fours. Twice in Tampa, once in Indy and saw them lose to Notre Dame in 2001 in St. Louis. So even though I've lived in Florida since June 2014, I'm still a Husky fan, especially the women. My youngest daughter went to the games with me when I had season tickets. She got married and so I just watched on CT PBS. In Rlorida I watched on ESPN 3 until this year. I watch as many of the games that I can, so I'm still a big fan.

Okeechobee here folks.
Five years ago retired, fled to FL.

 

[UcMiami]

As my name suggests when I signed up for my boneyard membership I was living in Miami (Coconut Grove specifically) but I was born and grew up in Storrs, and have now moved back into the house my parents built in Storrs. So a once and possibly future Floridian.

Isn't Florida the 6th borough of New York?

Seriously? Retired from CT and moved to Florida. Once a Husky always a Husky.

I've seen your buses at the South Florida games. Solivita usually has one bus that goes. BTW - we have had season tickets to the USF women since 2017. A little over and hour ride from Solivita.

Orlando here. I live 25 minutes from UCF and it was awesome to be able to see the Huskies down here. Now I have to hope our Huskies play USF or Florida, a 2 hour trip, for a chance to see them in person in Florida again.
