Nothing... he's all set.

He is now. Wonder if he was angling for a sideline pass. Not sure why that would be an issue for a former player, even if he was not coached by Edsall.

I don't think there was an issue... he reached out and was quickly taken care of by the program. Edsall has been pretty clear about his desire for all football alum to be around the program.

Probably would have had the same result if he just called Burton/Shenkman.

Oh good. An attendance debate. These are always interesting and fresh.

Not an attendance debate. I couldn't care much less if a random someone doesn't want to go to the game, but most ticket holders have jobs. There are many ways to fit both in, even if one is on second shift. If the work day is over at 5:00, it's an excuse, not a reason. Traveling from Fairfield County is a whiny excuse cloaked as a humble brag.

I wasn't following the timeline. I see that now.

Re: Bold - My thoughts exactly.

What a weird take
 
Thankfully the stadium isnt in Storrs.

Can honestly say I'm looking forward to seeing the team. Looking forward to confirming that we are quite as bad as some would like to believe.

I'm not traveling in from Nola for the game. Car not in shape for 1,200 mile trip and don't fly 'cause don't like TSA fondling my family jewels. Don't care if a random someone whines about me not willing to go all out for the home opener.
 
A drive from Stamford is over 2 hours due to traffic through or out of Stamford at 5.

I-95 is brutal around Norwalk and Stamford at rush hour.

I'll probably show up at the game and look for a $5 ticket.
 
Has anyone mentioned the Yard Goats are also playing their home regular season finale tonight? We're sort of competing with a AA baseball team. Unreal. Going to be a bright night around the Connecticut River.

Congratulations, but (with credit to @John ), "The point is now cruising comfortably at 35,000 feet over your head - you may unbuckle your seat belts and move about the cabin."

If that's tickets sold (not distributed) then that's pretty impressive.

On Monday, @huskymedic posted 16,000 distributed according to the RepAm. My guess is they are using the terms interchangeably. Still there has to be a reason for them to increase the distribution by 4K in a half a week's time.
