Thank You Mr. Brimah

This deep run we've made in the NCAA tourney, with its astounding amount of positive publicity, has turned inumerable heads and I believe will have a lasting positive impact on our perception as a valuable conference entity--even fully understanding the dominate role of football.
If you doubt it, just think how we would have been viewed (totally ignored) if Brimah doesn't keep us alive against St. Joes in our first game. That win allowed us to move on against Villanaova and get to MSG and an obvious to all showing of how we own NYC. That in turn gave rise to several respected voices in the media publically questioning the logic of the ACC and B1G's rejection of UConn. While lots of hard work remains on several fronts before we ever see a greener pasture, someday we may all look back and remember how a desperate three point play by a tall skinny freshman paved the way toward the promised land.

i think bringing 35k to yankee stadium this year would mean a lot more than any basketball game. Winning the game would help too.

I agree. It's all part of the process. There's simply no margin for error. We need to win, become an enthusiatic and supportive fanbase and pack the stadium. Every week.

Yes Brimah's late minute heroics have made this magnificent run possible. UCONN winning 2 more National Championships in Basketball will do alot more for the football program than 35 K at Yankee Stadium against ARMY. Having said that a great showing of Husky fans at Yankee stadium will be one more feather. The football programs progress is a more lengthy protracted process that includes all of Diaco's new ingredients in the mix. Diaco would not trade all of the great PR for UCONN by having both basketball teams in the final 4 for all the tea in China! The repercussions will be felt for many years to come. Definitely increases the odds of a P5 call.
