OT - USMNT at Rent Oct 10th

[Bonehead]

Student section is rocking it!!

The field looks so bad it's frightening. Take your facility out of the rotation bad.

I have never watched a football game from the Rent on TV but I'm pretty sure the crowd doesn't look like that.

 

[Bonehead]

Nor have I watched like you stated - and would probably agree - at least not since the RE days...

 

[HuskyDevil]

Some less than happy fans on twitter...still trying to get into the parking lots and it's almost halftime, not much different than our opener this season, also a Friday night on a long holiday weekend. Traffic is/was brutal...

I suppose that's the one bonus of this year - no lines on the way out this year if you can stomach a whole game - or even most of it.

Traffic was awful tonight. I went right by took me an hour to go what usually takes half.

Nice to see the Rent full again. Adios Landycakes. Love the way this team plays right now. Once Landon got subbed we transitioned to a 4-3-3 high press. Love it.

Yeah that guy sucks. It occured to me earlier that the kind of USMNT fan who hates Donovan is the kind of UConn football fan who hates Edsall.

Not because they are similar really - but it's the kind of person who is obsessed with what someone is not rather than what they are.

I won't say I'm shocked you showed up to make an anti-Donovan comment. In fact I figured you'd give me the opportunity to make that point.

Leaving the Rent now. Great time American Outlaws>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UConn student section

At least Edsall doesn't take sabbaticals. Donovan did good but he could have done so much more. He is soft and we needed steely eyed killers and he wasn't it, and by now there are a plethora of Americans with his skillset that don't get homesick and depressed when they are needed.

And the Landycakes fanbase are the ones who are obsessed with what he was. It's not 2002 anymore, and Hoovering up goals in MLS where the defenses are as strong as a New Orleans levee isn't impressing anyone but Alexi Lalas.

Seriously the obsession is on your side. They give the guy a nice little
send off and you've got nothing else to do but knock him. But people say I'm negative? WTF.

 

[Dooley]

There was a 4+ car accident literally 20 yards from the Silver Lane exit off of 84 East that caused a full parking lot deal all the way to Farmington/West Hartford. I didn't get into the stadium until right before halftime.

Great atmosphere - for the 45 + 4 minutes that I was able to watch.

 

[Waquoit]

Why would anyone say that? Especially after your 1st two posts in this thread, LOL!

Once he retires he dominate the rec league and have lots happy meals and slumber parties with his sister. He is such a puss.

I guess pointing out that traffic was bad and the field looked like crap isn't being inherently negative in my mind. It's just pointing out reality.

Trying to make Landon Donovan out to be less of a player than he was seems negative to me.

Some people sitting behind me were livid it took them them 5 and a half hours to get to East Hartford from NYC. Similarly, it took my buddies and I 7 of the longest hours of my life to get to Rutgers for the football game Friday Night of Columbus Day Weekend in 201o. Sh1+ happens

That is some really cringe worthy stuff wow.

Hey, you have to be yourself. I think "so bad it's frightening" is an exaggeration, but that's just my opinion. But you don't think saying "Take your facility out of the rotation bad" is inherently negative?

 

[rich1122]

Need Equatorian fans at football games. They rock. Huge grills smoking after the match. Kababs everywhere.

Not best foot forward for a national event. Field, scoreboard issues, traffic was horrendous. Parking was very bad, at least for first timers. Got off the usual Rte 2 and nothing marked people driving in circles. Embarrassing. Not the usual football lots it seemed. $20 for parking. Had many say that they would never come for a UCONN football game .


Great time though. Place rocks. 36K+ announced.

 

[WestHartHusk]

People in CT are the worst, I swear. The game was fantastic...don't leave your Farmington home at 645 and it was fine. Everyone bi@ching about traffic didn't make appropriate plans. I am so f tired of the complaining about the rent and traffic. STFU.

Maybe it is but the field looked like garbage and nobody wants to send international players into a situation where if they get hurt they have the field to blame. It looked pretty gd awful.

I am in agreeance on this. Pitch looked baaaaad. Not fitting for the "occasion".

I am sure Landon will sign copies of Tiger Beat for you and Whaler.

Thank God he hit the post. I'd hate to see how upset you'd be if he scored.

It was a nice choke job.
