I just wish we could find one more BC fan with a computer so Yawkey would have someone else to talk to.
What is this "huge, captive audience." you speak of?
Our state is relatively small and shrinking. And the audience has shown they have plenty of other options.
Now if we get in the Big 12, the crowds will certainly improve, if/when the team improves, we'll regularly sell the place out. But it would take a generation or more to be like a Penn State.
Did you check the clearance racks?
If there are tons of UConn fans in Boston - could some of them join us in the buildings - because I gotta tell you I'm tired of people posting how popular UConn is in other places while I sit in a half empty Rent and a third empty XL center.
@August_West Sansa is a lot smarter than you give her credit for.
LOL@ people thinking we are getting a P5 invite before 2025. Youve all been played.
@UConnDan97 UConn Football is going to go 13-1 this year.
Hey @CTMike , I think there's an issue with your keyboard. You clearly meant to type "13-0", but there appears to be a positioning error with your 0 and your 1...
I think there was a typo in post and you confused 13-0 with 15-0 and a nationchampionship
Oh no, clearly we are going to go 15-0. I thought that CTMike was just referring to the AAC portion of the schedule...
On Block Island this summer for two weeks I probably saw a dozen Uconn shirts; not a single BC

There are probably more BC bumper stickers on cars in Manhattan, Singapore, etc than the streets of Boston. Thats because BC is no longer a commuter school for the Catholic, Blue Collar, Working Class, of Massachusetts. Its students now come from all over the world now, not just from Massachusetts. And a sizeable number return to there there after graduation. I also see far,.. FAR,.. more Umass gear and bumper stickers around Boston, and Greater Boston than Uconn gear or car bumper stickers ( for obvious reasons, of course ). Umass will have far more alums living in Massachusetts than Uconn will from now until eternity. No matter what happens to Uconn football ( or Umass football, for that matter ). But I don't know what relevancy this far more Umass ( or Mass. State College System ) car and windshield bumper stickers has in Massachusetts over Uconn has much to do with anything, frankly.
I went to Suffolk Downs last month and there were several UConn shirts including a couple selling the beer. One BCU dude and he smelled.
The current owner of Suffolk Downs in East Boston ( J. O' Donnell ) is a BC grad. I'm sure he was glad to see that you bought a ticket, no matter what you wore when you came through his gate. He apparently believes in hiring Uconn fans and / or alums to work as beer vendors at his track too.... and thats also refreshing to know, imo.I went to Suffolk Downs last month and there were several UConn shirts including a couple selling the beer. .
