That the dog didn't bark was good enough for Sherlock Holmes.Yes the absence of an invite isn't any additional evidence.

I knew it, he failed the ice cream challenge!Am I the only one who has not seen, heard, or read one single credible piece of information that there will be no signing day event this year?
Some internet yahoo named Woof wrote that he spoke to somebody who said that there was a basketball game and a hockey game the same night. Woopdee doo.
How does it feel to start rumors like this? How does feel that so many bite on it?
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid that's going with this girl to Jonathan's last night, saw Bob Diaco pass out after eating tons of ice cream.
haha looks like its $35 to attend the Nebraska signing day event. At least Youtube is Free....Give the Woof a break for two important reasons:
#1 He's interested and a fan
#2 He's reporting what was told to him. Which acording to his post, he spoke with someone at the Ticket office who informed him there would be no signing day. No need to attack the guy on a fan blog site for passing on information.
Here are a few events going on:
Nebraska - http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=209842531
Florida State - https://one.fsu.edu/signingday2015
Washington - http://www.gohuskies.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=30200&ATCLID=209840561
I am sure there are more. If we are having an event they should announce it or not -already.

Is everyone happy now?
Figures.
well, there you have it. Now, from an actual source. They will indeed do a signing day central social media event, just like Notre Dame does, and we did last year due to weather.
Frankly, I'm not sure it would have been that well attended at Rentschler anyway. Pretty much the entire core fanbase of UCONN is pretty pissed off at UCONN football right now. Only one way to fix that, and we got to wait until September.

Honest question- have you been to the event in prior years when they had it at the Rent? It was really well done and well attended, even during the P years. I only attended a couple, but it was great hearing the coaches break down highlights of each kid, great talking football with fellow fans. It was also held at a time that most folks could attend. All around, very high on the fan engagement scale... Attending a 4pm presser feels substantially less than that.Is everyone happy now?
No. Nor have I complained about any of it. Hope everyone gets their wish. Seeing as how most don't even want to listen to Diaco speak, what's the point? It's seems to me most have heard enough. Yet they sign on here, and complain, complain, complain about every move and every word from administration and staff.Honest question- have you been to the event in prior years when they had it at the Rent?

If they are doing tours of the facilities, I may dip out of work early to attend. Otherwise, it just feels like an afterthought.
My group has been to every signing day event. It was always a great time. Food was average at best and you could buy some beers. The best part was you actually felt like part of the football program. You could talk to coaches and players. You got a sense from each coach about how they felt about the players they recruited. Again it was a great night for the diehard UConn football fans. It was always highly attended .
I think they are making a big mistake going this route. At a very critical time ( season ticket renewal, hoping for P5 invite , coming off 4 terrible years), we needed something to pump us up. Cancelling old event with the social media thing is the wrong decision in my opinion.
My group was always between 8 - 12 people to attend. There are probably 2 of us that will follow the social media part. UConn football lost the other 6 - 10 people in my group. Again just don't get it.

No one said I didn't. But Thanks. Stop typing yourself.Can you stop typing for 5 minutes? Honestly. People are participating in this thread to voice that they CARE about the football program and would like to celebrate in the students that choose our school. And yet you feel the need to be Bob Diaco's security detail.
If you don't care about the signing day, then don't comment on it. It's not that hard a concept...
I'm just glad people still care enough to be upset. It's better than apathy.Can you stop typing for 5 minutes? Honestly.
