Signing day event?

[Wildgopher]

Has anyone heard anything about the signing day event at the Rent this year? I thought we usually have heard that the event is on by this time of year, and I have seen no mention of it anywhere.

Looks like we found out on Jan. 11 last year... So... Hopefully soon!

They're probably worried about P getting egged or tarred and feathered.

*Edit -- just found out that it's on, but that anyone named Dan will be barred from the premises just to be safe.

It's always the first Wednesday in February - this year the 6th. Assume something at the Rent.

Gone to this the last few years.....don't know if I can bring myself to do it this year.

 

[CTMike]

I've talked about going in years past and not gone. Even if I have to show up by myself like a loser this year I'm gonna go.

I feel the same way.

You're only a loser if you stay home wishing you were there. Take it from someone that now goes to the movies almost exclusively by myself.

If you really feel awkward just pretend you're P's grandson. That could be its own fun.

How about "Hello Tags" with your BY moniker on it just to put a face to some of this craziness.

Admit it, you just want to throat punch someone.

Childish at best. Like a fan in Chicago would make the trip for this if we were Alabama or Notre Dame. Please list the players we lost to Temple that are better than we have recruited or not already on the roster. Our program has enough problems without false statements from supposed supporters...

 

[uconnbill]

I have been every year and hope to see you all there this year. It is a lot of fun and we can ask questions of the coaching staff. Plus we all can watch the UConn nasketball game that evening.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Thinking about going this year if I can drag a buddy or two. More so than ever I think we owe our support to the kids that chose to come to UConn and to be Huskies.

You're a moron, at best. Its a sarcastic statement based on on previous thread regarding in-state players that we didnt even offer going to Temple. Read the recruiting threads or other football threads and you'll find it, don't just come on here spewing your high horse nonsense. And FYI, I'm a season ticket holder and do plan on being at the event. Doubt I'll see you there though...

 

[ZooCougar]

Crazy. This event used to be highly anticipated on this board. Not anymore apparently.

Media may outnumber the fans this year at this event.

 

[Vuce]

I am going to try to go as I have the last few years. If we want to be a big(ger) time program we need people to show up at this through thick and thin.

 

[CTMike]

Need folks on the fence about this to go more than ever. These kids will be here long after P and GDL are gone... Show em support and let them know they made a great choice. I just RSVP'ed.

Eh......going to this means very little or anything at all. Going to home games (and God forbid a bowl game) and taking in a road game.....much more meaningful. I usually see uconnbill at this event but if others would like to meet up I would consider taking this is in again.

 

[CTMike]

Do you go around popping little kids balloons too, Jimmy? Lol.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Only if I get bored kicking around some puppies at the pet store.

Think I might be going to MSG for the basketball game, no big east tourney and not sure if will be able to see the Huskies at MSG again. Really Sad actually.

More phenominally shortsighted planning by the University of Connecticut.

aka Friday.
