Hmmm, sounds like UConn to the ACC?

On Block Island this summer for two weeks I probably saw a dozen Uconn shirts; not a single BC

I was on Block Island during the summer of 2011, fresh off of that year's championship. We were walking down near the restaurants and Charles Okwandu was walking down the street toward us. We stopped him and talked for a few minutes. Really nice guy, and he loves his team.

If it was around July 4... Guilty as charged.

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 love anecdotes and the eye test. I remember when cocktail chatter and lawn signs led Peggy Noonan to correctly predict that President Romney would beat Obama in 2012.

Enough. There are not "no" or "few" UConn fans/alums in Boston no matter how many more paragraphs you write.

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 don't often clean the bilge on my boat, but when I do; it is with a BC t-shirt...
