OT: Red Sox vs Astros game (UConn sign)

[Marat]

I was flipping between NHL playoffs and the Sox game on ESPN last night. At one moment as i switched to this game, the TV showed an Astros fan holding up a UCONN sign above his head. And the announcers mentioned UConn Nation is here. The game was in Houston, TX. Anyone else see that? Or was that anyone from the Boneyard?

I saw it. I believe at one point springer was facing Matt Barnes which is also a Uconn alum so nice little Uconn connection in that game. I was shocked to see that sign though. Pretty cool!

Anyone have a pic or gif of this? Springer often interviews wearing UConn gear (he wore a UConn football helmet in an interview last year). Very proud alum. LOVE it.

I was there but didn't notice the sign. I did yell UConn a few times. It was fun watching them face each other. Springer is loved by the Astro's fans. He's either 1 or 2 in jersey sales for the team.

I was watching at the time. The announcer was droning on when the guy was shown and suddenly, :...and UCONN Nation is here tonight!!!". It really perked up the announcer at that moment.

You can see a couple UConn signs being help up in the front. The TV showed a different fan, though.

Steph Curry visited the Sox in their clubhouse over the weekend too.

That was us, Houston UConn Alumni. We sponsor an event at an Astros game each season. George has been kind enough to meet with us before or after each of the games. Last night was our third of these events. Thanks to George for spending time with us again.

It was a blue bumper sticker that said UCONNATION.
