Homecoming Game Week - UConn vs. UMass (Saturday 10/27/18 @ Noon on ESPNU)

[August_West]

Of course I’m going to be there. You want a pair in the 15th row behind the UConn bench?

I’ll be inside with Palatine.

Ooooof.

Ooooof.

When I sit in the club I actually while away the 40 point blowouts trying to figure out which one Pal is.

My wife thinks I’m crazy and is like “well I’m not going to go in that weather. What am I supposed to do all day?”

 

[Adios]

I know I will regret this, but practice what?

Practice being in soaking rain. Got a good Victorinox rain coat, just gotta see if I can avoid getting wet.

@whaler11, you're going to leave me outside while you're inside?!?!!

That seems to be the plan. Personally I’d find a spot at the top of the lower bowl in the corner under the big scoreboard. That’s the best spot to hide from the wind.

Behind the red line is just going to be too many people, garbage bag and last row in the corner is the spot.

and all those things happen before noon except beer kiosks. Which are mostly run by volunteers - who I imagine would all no show. Yeah lemme sell 5 beers today and stand in a wind tunnel with water dripping down from the upper deck all day.

It’s going to pour in 45 degree weather with gusts up to 35. The crazy people are the ones who don’t stay home.

If I'm crazy then it's true
But it's all because of you
And I wouldn't want it any other way.

Thank you Billy Joel.

UMass has some of the worst uniforms in football and basketball across the years. They just can't seem to settle on something and stick with it.

One more week for "Running Game Thread" then we'll need to figure out how to try chat (probably next away game when desktop will be accessible (and dry)).

... if you were in previously - you're still in. I will check here periodically for new add requests.

Easily the worst logo in FBS. Looks like it was created in MS Paint

Ryan Carroll looks like he won the week-long battle with Jeremy Lucien and will start at CB for UConn.

Neill Ostrout @NeillOstrout 3 minutes ago
Ross Comis looks like the starter at QB for UMass. Regular starter Andrew Ford out with a knee injury.

Neill Ostrout @NeillOstrout 3 minutes ago
PK Michael Tarbutt back with the first team in pregame.

Jim Fuller @NHRJimFuller
No real surprises among starting #UConn offense & defense but did notice Michael Tarbutt taking the field goal attempts

Sooooo single digit people in seats bands excluded. Maybe 1000 on concourse. More people in line for fuzzy baby ducks at last beer fest here

Working on it... must be the rain!

 

[Adios]

White jerseys*. That UMass education is overrated.

 

[huskymedic]

That was a rough three and out there...

... defense needs to settle in here.

 

[NowInStorrs]

That crowd doesn't look real impressive on TV.

Why should it... everyone is under the concourse.

Nice stop...

 

[HawkHusky]

What happened to that opening drive offense??

 

[NowInStorrs]

Why should it... everyone is under the concourse.

I don't blame them for being there. It's just rough when they show the stands and there are like 4 people behind the end zone.

Sterling having a good game...
