The Case for UConn Football: An Open Response to The Daily Campus
The University of Connecticut has been playing basketball for over 100 years, and only in the last 25-30 have they shown significant success. Compared to the 13 years they have been playing FBS football. I, like many others in the college football world are impressed. Sure, we have taken a stumble backwards in the last few years and in the current climate of college realignment it has made this mole hill look like a mountain, but this is still a college program on the rise.
Though I have been at Gampel Pavilion for an ESPN College Gameday against Syracuse or any number of other big games, I have also been at Rentschler Field for a game against Michigan. I have stormed the field for a win over undefeated #13 Houston. When comparing situations I choose The Rent 10 times out of 10.
Even though we may be better known for it, you will never convince me that the University of Connecticut is JUST a “basketball school,” and based on the 26,000 screaming fans I saw that night at the Houston game, I bet you won’t convince them it is either.
