It’s Official - UConn Football is going to the Myrtle Beach Bowl (Monday 12/19/22 @ 2:30p @ Brooks Stadium)

[Chin Diesel]

-> UConn is expecting to get a handful of its injured players back for Monday's Myrtle Beach Bowl (2:30 p.m., ESPN) against Marshall (8-4), perhaps lending a glimpse into what the full offensive picture could look like next year.

"Brian (Brewton) has really made some progress here the last couple of days, so we will see," Charlton said. "At first it was kind of trending towards 'we don't know,' but he has looked pretty good. Devontae (Houston) is fine, he should be good. Keelan (Marion) is getting back into it, just trying to get his wind back, that has been the biggest thing. Cam (Ross) is kind of in that same category. We have to see how many reps we can get out of them, but we do expect them to play." <-

A UConn offense with a healthy Ross and Marion at WR and Burns, Rosa, Houston and Brewton in the backfield is intriguing to say the least.

Just got my tickets to the UConn tailgate party. Let's Gooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Still waiting for mine. I called the number for the Athletic Ticket Office on the confirmation I printed out. The number, 843-349-8499, is answered by a machine saying "this number is not in service at this time." UConn office has no information.

Just googled the Coastal Carolina ticket office number and it is different than the one on my printed confirmation, The area code on the printed confirmation is wrong. The Coastal ticket office said my tailgate tickets will be available at check-in. Problem solved, I hope.

OK, so a year ago who would have thought HC Jim Mora would be being interviewed at a Bowl locale we are playing in? What a tribute to him, his staff and all the players who stuck it out to try again one more season. U-C-O-N-N! UConn UConn UConn!

-> UConn is 6-6, with a chance to finish with a winning record for the first time since 2010. That is, all things considered, rather modest success — the type, however, that feels like a miracle to anyone who has been around the program the past six years.

“I hope this is the base line,” Mora said. “I appreciate that people are excited about what we're doing. I think we want to celebrate the progress we've made, but I don't want, nor do I want anyone affiliated with this program, to be satisfied with 6-6. That's not our goal. So the tone you talk to people with is really important because you want to recognize that they're excited and we're excited and our players, who have never been to a bowl game, are excited. But at the same time, it's important that you send a message that this is only the start. This can't be the norm. Six has to be the minimum. We have to build from here. I think our players, especially the ones who are coming back, have that same mindset.” <-

We're 5 days away now. Anyone have any word on how ticket sales are going?

From Mike Anthony article tonight:

-> The game will be held at Coastal Carolina University’s Brooks Stadium — capacity: 20,000. About 6,500 fans showed up last season for the game between Old Dominion and Tulsa, according to the bowl’s executive director, Rachel Ammon Quigley.

A UConn administrator said UConn had sold roughly 2,500 tickets, with some of those being purchased for donation to UConn students and to Myrtle Beach area middle school and high school teams. <-

2.5k bought including donations is a bit disappointing.

2.5k bought including donations is a bit disappointing.

Very. I guess Boneyarders bought all of them.

Very. I guess Boneyarders bought all of them.

Sadly, we may well have bought the lion's share.
