Frustration Leads to 1st Post

[UConn '89 "98]

Two degrees from UConn. Hoops season tickets since 1990, football since 2003. Read the Boneyard, but after recent events, felt compelled to post. Know some of this is repetitive, but here goes:

- It's obvious that Coach P and DeLeone need to go right now. Put the OC in charge for the rest of the season and search for a new coach when the season is over.
- Truly thought that the talent was upgraded, but regardless, if the upgraded talent isn't bettered by the coaching staff, it doesn't really matter who you recruit.
- It's also clear that the OC doesn't have full autonomy.
- It's embarrassing that fans can't get in their seats for kickoff. It's even further annoying that folks need to find their way to their seats during most of the first quarter and block the view of others.
- As a UConn alum and fan, it's also embarrassing that 8-10 State Troopers need to waste their time in the upper reaches of the stands to pull middle aged folks out who can't behave themselves. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.
- UConn students gave quite an ovation when it was announced that UConn was a Top 20 Public School. Seemingly no one else in the stadium cared or noticed.
- During warm-ups with both teams on the field, is there a reason someone decided to do things like interview UConn students and ask them things like if they knew where Towson was located and what conference they are in or discuss the Maryland mascot? Do we really need to motivate the opposition any more than they already are?
- Certainly lots of positives with UConn both academically and athletically, unfortunately, football isn't one of them.
- If I was a rep from the Big 10 or ACC and took in a few games at the Rent and witnessed some of the stuff we've all witnessed from a football / crowd perspective, I don't think I'd be recommending UConn.

Whelp, that's a post.

It takes most of us hundreds of posts to cover that much tired ground, but there you go.

The P era is killing us.

I thought you were dyslexic until you mentioned the dual degree thingy.

Totally disagree. It's absolutely working for me.

These are signs we are big time. The rest of the crowd couldn't care about the school being top 20 because they wish they went to UConn.

I hate to be a Bandwagon jumper... but is it too late to start? The drinking & getting fat part cuz it's gonna be a long season...

On the other hand, the metrics advertisers look at here must be improving, no, at least in the run-up to Michigan? Looking at a Brawny paper towel ad right now below this.

Seriously, a bit disappointed the OP had to take a mild hit there. He knew it was "tired ground" but felt the need to get it off his chest Thought that's why this place existed

Also, the students don't read the Boneyard. We've known about UConn's ranking for eons.
