As a frequent lurker who does not post much I decided I needed to chime in. I am an alum and have had season tickets since 1996. The last three years have been painful but I still firmly believe that if people attend the games they will realize what an awesome experience it is. Based on that I convinced 6 colleagues to attend Friday. Their indifference about Uconn football is amazing to me but I hope a good experience will start to transform them closer to what I am.
I believe Diaco has reached these kids. I know his message has resonated with me and it has been 25 years since I ran out on a field. Self confidence and belief goes a long way in sports....the power is immense. Factor in a night game with an animated crowd and I love our chances.
No matter the result I know we are going in the right direction overall. That said, with a fickle fan base I am just praying that a worst case scenario still finds us playing a competitive game. If we get blown out I think that would not bode well for the next two home game. A win would be immense and I believe we will get it.
