Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 5064558, member: 1737"] Every time I watch these youtubers, I wish I could reach through my computer to correct them. As upstater said, they all think that ESPN is in our corner while we know that they haven't done a thing to help UConn, all the while getting tax breaks from Connecticut. There is one guy who has done several shows about UConn and always mentions the deficit in the Athletic Department. He never mentions that we have been getting peanuts in media revenue for years. In the above video, which I said was one of the better ones, those guys cite the football statistics, but don't break out our statistics when we were in a BSC conference. They also trashed the stadium and the gameday experience. I would like to make them aware of Robert Griffin's quote about playing at the Rent: "When we played at UConn my freshman year, that was the loudest place I've ever been as a football player. The stands are right next to the field, it was packed, and everyone was yelling. That was probably the coolest place for me to play at aside from Texas, Texas A&M, and Nebraska". They think all of our football facilities are sub-par. They should watch a video of the Burton Football Center. I could go on... [/QUOTE]
