My dad used to take out his hearing aids.I think I figured out why some older fans like me may choose to tailgate until the game starts. This noise, which I guess is supposed to be music, is deafening and terrible. I appreciate the players probably like it, but man o man!
The UConn band was awesome as usual. Loved their spirit and music choices tonight. Nice touch playing together with the UMass band, too.This must be your type of music then as the band is playing and they're playing awesome
Huge win tonight!! Now that UCONN is the king of New England I can speak freely. I thought it was a fairly even game, UMass is not that bad. They move the ball. UMass probably should have stayed in the MAC for its football program. I want them to get better because this can be a great rivalry.
I was very disappointed with the crowd. If the place holds 40k, then there were maybe 10k at the start, Entire sections were empty. It's a little disheartening to see the players trying the get the crowd into it but the crowd just isn't there.
This team doesn't need excuses. It needs fan support. The place was empty tonight and it's a shame.Announced attendance was 23,430. Attendance for BC was only 25.5K but it seemed like a considerably larger crowd. Probably tougher for many people to get to the game after work on a Friday night than on a Saturday afternoon.
People were slow coming in tonight (as usual). It did fill in pretty good, but not like last Saturday. I thought the crowd (at least in my section, 119) was pretty into the game.This team doesn't need excuses. It needs fan support. The place was empty tonight and it's a shame.
Start of the game. Oooph.
