No worries. . . .we'll keep an eye out. Sounds like lots of UConn folks going. That 7:30 am Manchester Darby means we're really going to pushing the envelope Saturday

If anyone wants to stop by and tailgate I bought one of those stubhub parking passes by the stadium. It is in the gold lot, which appears to be on the Navy side of the stadium.

I was able to get the same gold parking pass and look forward to seeing some UCONN fans for the first time. As a family of a recruit this will be our first time at a game live in person!!

Just arrived in Annapolis, staying at Hilton Garden Inn. Haven't seen a UCONN tee shirt yet.

Ummm... you're not representing?

Ok, there's one taped onto our hotel room window to stake the claim for UCONN Nation!

Anyone want to tailgate or have the post-game victory celebration here? Just a small party barge in a marina near the USNA.

It's a little small but it'll have to work. My crew will be arriving Fri afternoon, staying in the Hampton Inn Annapolis.

They forgot 6:30. UConn celebration after a victory!

 

[uconnkelly]

Spent the day at the USNA. Had a great tour, saw the assembly of midshipmen for lunch, visited the museum. The 4:00 pm parade was cancelled due to 95 degree and horribly humid weather. Beginning to see more UCONN fans around town.

Hopefully the Huskies are well hydrated for tomorrow's game, hopefully wearing white unis.

Some photos from the beautiful campus:

The 2015 Navy helmet, just one of the displays in the USNA museum. A new section there spotlights the women who entered the USNA in 1976, the first year women could enroll in military academies. It's the 40th anniversary of their entry; many are here at their reunion.

Thanks @uconnkelly and @RoadTrip for letting us live vicariously through you.

Annapolis has docks that go right up to all the downtown bars. You can dock and walk right into the bar. One of the coolest places I've ever been.

Also anyone here throw us a message. We're down to hang with any of the Husky faithful.

Earlier the 44 foot sailboats that the mids took out for training. This was at a basin on the campus. Saw the mids take five of them out headed toward the Chesapeake.

annapolis is a great place, my brother lived there for 2 yrs, awesome night life with many different bars/ eateries to sample, wish I could have made it down for the game

Don't forget your hats with visors and sunglasses for the game. The forecast is for 88 degrees (90+ in the stadium) and sun in the visitor's side faces.
