The Definitive Problem w/ UConn FB Fans.......

[formerlurker]

I'm not sure if this is an issue with anyone else but I've had enough beers to make it 0ne with me.

Here's how I breakdown the crowd at a UCFB homegame at The Rent:

1.) 10-15%: Includes us BY'ers, player's family and friends and anyone else who cares about the FB program on a weekly basis.

2.) 30%: "Senior" aged boosters who think they're in Gampel Pavilion and sit on their hands at all times and/or think they're at a very large funeral for someone they can't remember. These are the same people who think it's OK to come late and leave early as long as they "show their face".

C.) 55% of the homeless community in the greater Hartford area who can somehow afford $10 beers at the game but are strapped for cash when it comes to the concept of brushing one's teeth, owning a shirt with sleeves, urinal etiquette and/or personal space in general.

If my Danbury High education serves me well, that's 67% and that's just unacceptable!

And everyone above is still 100% better than the fans that sit on their asses at home and don't come out and support the team.

Open your eyes, I can't be the only one. Half the crowd makes our crack security detail seem like Rhodes Scholars.

I must be missing the urinal etiquette. You have meat gazers in your section or something?

Dopey and unfunny. You added more as a lurker.

How about the 47% who accept free or reduced price handout tickets from their rich friends and feel a sense of entitlement to stay in the parking lot and tailgate, while the other fans work hard at supporting their team to make it better. We can just expect that they are never going to contribute to build the program's fanbase. I think we can write off 47% of UConn Nation because they demonstrate that they aren't helping themselves. They will always be dependent on the 53% of season ticket holders to carry them and pay for their perks like free, subway coupons, pins, and t-shirts.

Therefore, if you elect me, I will do away with those silly entitlements like Laz jump starts for the idiots who leave the lights on in their cars or leave the radio blasting while they bathe in the beer and brats (unemployment insurance, welfare, safety net programs), i will cut attendants who try to organize the chaos (teachers, human services) when parking and devote more toward security for the 53% in the stadium and their cars in the white lot (increase defense spending on things we don't need), I will do away with all port-o-potties so people are forced to enter the stadium (I just think it is novel), and I will ban tailgating foods and give concession vouchers that are only good during the first quarter (like Paul Ryan's ingenious plan for Medicare and medicaid).

Now those are policies that we can subscribe to! Boycotts are for narrow-minded liberals. Those dang hippies.

I've been called worse than dopey and unfunny, Waquoit, so you're still cool with me.

Think your Mom's almost ready with that meatloaf you mentioned?

Judgemental . There are circumstances why certain people can't make it to East Hartford. Who are you to sit there and call someone better than another person?

I dont care about the 47% that mooch off the system.... err, uhhh, wait, yes i do. ahhh, just vote for me.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Another thread complaining about people who purchase tickets and support the program? Isn't this getting old? Even for the BY?

 

[uconndogs]

Offensive post......

It's a UConn Football message board. It's pretty damn clear in this context it's about fair weather fans who could go to the games, but choose to sit and home and complain about the crowd.

But hey, if you want to sit there and be some contrarian and assume my statement is taking shots at people with financial hardships, medical issues or other responsibilities, be my guest.

Slow week, lame thread. We've had worse.

No judgement involved. Fans that buy tickets and go to games are better fans by definition.

 

[J187Money]

The definitive problem is there just aren't enough hardcore fans yet. But there are A LOT more of them than there were 10 years ago. Just need to keep building.

Methinks JaYnYce figures it easy pickings and wants in on the fight.

Since I'm one of those lame posters who won't be at the game, please post the fight on YouTube. My prediction is a tie due to a pulled hammy and a torn rotar cuff during the pre-fight smack talk.
