On campus fandom

[Jaydumo20]

Having spent last weekend on campus (as I do every 3rd week in August) I noticed a huge difference in overall school spirit, mainly basketball related. The years of Championships are listed everywhere, UConn gear is on every parent and student moving in for the year, and anyone you talk to knows the team. We know the reason for it, but I think we are going to see an absolute explosion in fan attention among the students and community. Most rabid fan base in the nation is my prediction. I can't wait

Back in the 70s I told a relative I was going to UConn and she did think that.

And me in 2012. Not to mention Yukon isn't even in Alaska either

In the early 80s and got some beers bought for me during spring break in Florida. (Yeah, I absolutely went with it.)

I agree with the OP. Not only in CT, but in my travels as well, I’m seeing a lot more UConn gear. Definitely makes you feel good to get the recognition. Go Huskies!

Everyone loves a winner.
Unless it's Dook.

Good to see campus is back to what it was in the 80's, even with Dom Perno as coach. The Champion UCONN sweatshirt in Navy or Grey was the uniform of half of campus. Hell even Soccer had big crowds every match. Different times I think, and there wasn't much to do in Storrs.

There was a lot to do. The vast majority of it wasn't on a computer.
