Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4185679, member: 271"] The fan base has really suffered. There’s been a down period in the program just as so many baby boomers began moving south. You need to replace them with young people but you can’t if the team isn’t good. Last fall I was at the Rent and a sophomore attending UConn was sitting behind us with his parents. He was explaining to them how UConn could never fill the stadium because it’s too far from campus and that we’ve never been good at football. After a a while I struck up a conversation and told them how it used to be both at the Rent and at XL. They were clueless. The kid was saying that he’s heard how great everything used to be at UConn and figured it was just an exaggeration. He said it is kind of boring on campus and everyone thinks the teams suck. I think they were from NY or NJ iirc. [/QUOTE]
