Sunday forecast:

 

[Chief00]

Great day for some football atmosphere - Count Chief in!

 

[firstnline]

I will be there and with a new pair of binoculars.

If the state doesn't want Corey, can I hire him? He has taken UConn FB's social media communication to an entire new level.
What a tremendous loss that would be if our leaders in Hartford can't finally get their act together.

 

[Skiblets]

At a minimum you can wish him a Happy Birthday today when you see him at practice

I'm pumped to see Pindell! I'll be at the BBQ wearing a green shirt, hat and black shorts--feel free to come over and say hi!

It is a beautiful day out... perfect weather for drinking some beers outside, talking UConn football, in East Hartford CT! I love this time of year

Looking forward to reading some reports from practice. I'm hoping BL or someone else with perspective plans to attend and posts a "View from Section 241" type report.

Hoping for some good insightful reports for those of us who cannot make it today. The Courant today intimated the the QB job is tilting Piendel's way. Any nuances that can be picked up in that area would be appreciated. We had a discussion awhile back about what it would mean if Piendel does become the starter. Someone corrected me and said it would only mean that he is RE2.0's guy and we would have to wait and see what happens on the field to decide for ourselves whether or not he really is an upgrade.

I do agree with that actually. If he starts against HC my binoculars will be on both him and the OL for a good part of the game. Anyone who has had kids in the recruiting process or on a team for whatever sport knows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Edsall first one off the bus and into the locker room. Team looked like it had a hop in their step getting off the bus. Order your Rose Bowl tickets now

Hard to believe no one else has commented on this yet. Must all be in the barbecue or beer line!

Huskies working hard on punts and punt returns already

 

[huskymedic]

Grimes working his magic

 

[Excalibur]

Plenty of people here. That's good.

The complete failure to staff adequately for the crowd -- that's bad. Food line is crazy long and not really moving.

[Excalibur]

Not pictured -- the roughly 1200 people waiting for food. I should have left the kid home. At least that way I would get to actually watch something

Haven't seen any practice. Still in line for food. Appreciate the free aspect, but this is crazy slow.

They really did manage to screw up a good thing. I thought I'd wait and the line would dissipate. I thought wrong.

 

[wethyhusky]

Haven't seen any practice. Still in line for food. Appreciate the free aspect, but this is crazy slow.

Positives on the day: at least the food is free (assuming they don't run out by the time I get there). Asked about top of the Rent, instead was able to get two band parent season tickets for $120 each for season.
Negatives: ridiculous food line. Because of food line not able to watch the practice.
