Yeah, if we were an SEC school, it'd only take 6 posts, tops. We'll never get the B1G invite at this rate, people.

Just saw this Onion piece. You know the program is on the rise when people pay enough attention to satirize you.

“It’s true that some football rules—like the one where players aren’t punished for assaulting women—can be pretty confusing to non-fans.”
Well what were the odds they'd ask that question of an FSU fan?

Preparing for the clinic:
Participants are asked to wear comfortable athletic clothing and shoes to the clinic. A souvenir t-shirt will be provided to all participants upon check-in. Please wear the t-shirt as a group photo of everyone will be taken to commemorate this great event!
We request all bags and valuables be left at home or kept in your cars. If you have not yet submitted your $40 registration fee, please bring your check with you the clinic.
Parking:
Free parking will be available in D Lot (just off Alumni Drive) and is a short walk down to the Burton Family Football Complex. Parking is also available for a cost of $2 per hour in the South Garage (just off Jim Calhoun Way/adjacent to the Burton Family Football Complex).

Items available to bid on include autographed memorabilia, tickets, UConn gear and more. All proceeds from the event will benefit the UConn Health Center. Cash and check are the only accepted forms of payment.

From 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM the real fun begins! Led by UConn Coaches and players, participants will be divided into 8 groups before breaking into a variety of activities including team meetings and specialized stations.

You got Diaco, college kids in tight uniforms and booze. The husbands and b/f''s and probably a few g/f''s should be ready for some action when the ladies get home.

From the video clips/pics on twitter it looked like a great time. One of my favorite images was Diaco demonstrating proper blocking technique to a woman. There was a player holding a pad and the woman just wrapped her arms around the player rather than blocking him lol.
