Some Humble Pie

Honestly... to approach 40k fans each and every weekend, in a place with a lot of different options AND where football isn't institutionalized the way it is in other states is pretty good, and given the fact that the PR department under Hathaway was worse than most minor league baseball teams...

UConn has a nice solid foundation... I'm excited to see what happens in the future.

This win was positively Edsallesque. Get a lead off a freak play and then try to run out the clock for 20 minutes.

UConn played well on defense against a good opponent, and did just enough offensively to pull it out. I'll take it.

It might have something to do with the fact that the personnel is downright Edsellesque...

CoachCap experienced first hand the dilemma for our fan base. Now don't misunderstand me, if our fan base wants to use the football games as mere venues for their all afternoon tailgates with buddies and don't really care about the game, that's their choice. But as long as we don't perceive "the game" as the most important element of the day, we'll continue to saunter in, not be in our seats before kickoff, and look like a second class program to the TV viewer. And don't underestimate the drawing power of a winning, raucous game day experience. Those fence sitters flipping TV channels need to get excited by what they see and buy a few tickets.
