The View From Section 241

so many fairweather fans.
i blame the NE Patriots and their success the 10-15 years or so.

3 year stretch in the crapper and people are crying like a newborn. can you imagine if these bandwagon fans had to endure the decades long stretch of incompetence that was the Patriots in the 60's, 70's and early 80's and a portion of the 90's?

10-20 years from now when Uconn is in the 8 team playoff, this stretch will be about how the die-hard fans earned their badge of courage. Braved the frigid cold with 2,000 other people in an empty stadium to see the team get blown out.
and 50K season ticket-holders will be claiming to have been there through it all...

You blame the Patriots for UConn fans being tired of 4 straight miserable seasons?

Well that wins the award for the strangest post of the week.

Hang in there Carl.

I'm not interested in hanging in there, I'm interested in competition and winning.

Had to leave early in the second half last week. Could not take the ineptness any longer when we ran Boyle into the line twice and could not get a first down. It is too painful to see us struggle like this when at one time it seemed like we were on the upswing and gaining respect yearly for this program. Throw in the realignment aspect and the bad level of play is just amplified in how brutal this is for our fanbase. We need to see improvement this week. At least put up a fight.

At least in the pros you are getting beat by the best players in the world. There's still some entertainment value even for a bad team. We can't beat Army or even belong on the same field as Cincy. I've been to every game but I can't blame people for not showing up, the fact that we are still getting the amount of people we've gotten to at least show up is impressive to me.

Agreed, fans are there hoping to see something positive but the toll is going to be great on next seasons attendance. Hope the new QB's can generate some interest.

I have trouble in Paradise. The Mrs. informed me that she's done with UConn for the balance of the season & won't attend the last game. I guess that I'll ask my brother-in-law if she actually means it. (It might actually have something to do with wedding planning for the little princess).

Good luck and Godspeed Coach...

 

[RioDog]

Oh please. Does anyone really believe that? I am 100% positive Coach Diaco wants to win. I am not positive he knows how to get a team to win. And that makes me extremely nervous. We cannot afford a Greg Robinson at this point in time.

Cheezus those 2 names in the same breath give me nightmares.
