You guys that are thinking Brad Paisley isn't relevant are being typical Yankees or tone deaf city slickers. Country music and college football go together and just about anywhere in the country you will find football, beer, babes, boots, tailgating and country music seamlessly tied together. This is great culturally for UConn to integrate itself with the Midwest, South and Southwest. Saying it is lame just perpetuates the idea that UConn doesn't fit in with those schools and the culture. Even if you don't like it, be happy that a big national act is coming to campus to help promote football in CT.
I'd like to see the school put on a football and concert tailgate weekend at the Rent. Music, food, RV's etc. all wrapped around a game. That is big time college football for everyone. Sometimes you need to use other means to draw people to games.
