How intimidating can we make Gampel on Wednesday?

[Chin Diesel]

I will never stop. You’re the only negative bum in here. Get lost. Doing my job to get the crowd and the team ready. Contribute to the program or zip it.

You're doing neither but congrats if you believe it.

You can’t be a Gampel crazy if less than an inch stops you.

If the game is still on with bad weather, I hope they can take the tickets on the market and some how subsidize them for students on campus to entice them to go.

Are the students back on campus? Hope so. We have a better chance with them being there and LOUD. Wish they were given more seats to fill around Gampel ala Cameron Fieldhouse (as much as that pains me to say…)

Students are back and they should be in form for a game like X. I will be there ready to roll

There was a mid-week Gampel weather game when we were in the AAC. No one showed and at the half they let anyone sit down low. This will be nowhere close to that, but yes, I hope they get all available tickets out there.

Gampel crowds are way better, die hards are more likely to make the trip to Storrs.

Doing more than you are you troll. Be better.

Rare form I hope. If it’s even rare.

My contacts at the XL today told me the crowd was large but church-like.

Why did you need contacts? Were you not there? Thats interesting.

I was not. First home game I missed this year. Shame on me. Even the biggest fans miss one occasionally. I watched the whole game though. Don’t worry about me. Be the best fan you can be.

Curious why more people can’t make it out to the XL Center on a Sunday afternoon. It’s Connecticut, what else are people doing? That many people go to church? Lol

 

[MTBingNinja]

Another win at Gampel would help make it more intimidating.

What you mean? I was raised in CT so I would know. lol

Wednesday needs to be an impressive showing from the students. So early in the semester, absolutely nothing better to do than get lubed up, fill Gampel, and scream for 2 hours. If they can't get up for this, they never will

 

[Rocktheworld]

There were a ton of empties today.
And people’s complaints in past were “ nothing to cheer for” in the losses.
Whelp there was plenty to cheer for today in a blow-out……….so………do the math.

Gampel does need to be lit Wednesday though. It’s abother make or break against a team well ahead of us in standings. Let’s see what fans are made of.

XL center sucks. It just does. When one’s only argument for it is an argument against Gampel (traffic) that’s all you have to know.

Gampel will be rocking with students. Biggest game we’ve had in the building since Cincinnati in 17-18 (yes they were ranked 8th)

I am starting to agree with you. XL/Civic Center used to get loud as heck and was a crazy atmosphere. It has not matched Gampel lately. And you’re right about the magnitude of this game at Storrs. Biggest game there in years. Let’s get it ROCKING. Louder than Florida/Houston games pre-Covid?

Make sure to leave the house before you make the call.

 

[gtcam]

That will cause a stir

TBH I was only able to say that because somehow we have had several top 8 games in XL over that time period lol

Since I was a freshman in ‘08 I saw that the pathetic student section at XL made it inferior

 

[John]

Amazing how many people were leaving at the U8 timeout with about 6.5 mins left in the game. I get it's a blowout, but was still surprised at the numbers

It's the Connecticut way, and has been for decades.

 

[HooperScooper]

XL didn't have it again today. We will see how the crowd is for the Marquette game in a few weeks.

For Wednesday as along as the weather isn't bad I'll be giving Xavier players all I got.

Advanced weather report says chance for mixed precipitation in the afternoon with about an inch of accumulation. If that weather report holds then it shouldn't be an issue.

Can't let a little snow keep you away - can't tellyou how many storms we drive onto watch UConn - 12/7/96 comes to mind - hell of a drive home and no power for 5 days afterwards. Only 1 time I remember not going- was against Pitt at Gampel, not sure of the year - donated our tickets to students

Fixed it.

Very true. It was more than 30 years ago when I first heard the "in Connecticut there are fans who stay until the end of the game to avoid traffic".
