To those going to Maryland

[husky210]

Have fun, be safe, wear blue and be loud.

And, please, please, please, above all else - see to it that UConn actually beats an ACC team. It'll make it so much more credible when folks start slamming the ACC for being a weak conference. Oh and enjoy and stay safe. As an aside, U of Maryland is a beautiful college campus. You'll probably agree after the visit. A larger (than the Rent) on campus stadium (the campus will be buzzing). And if you get a chance, check out (from the inside) the basketball arena. Wouldn't something like that be a great crown jewel on the campus of a three time national champion and 7 time women's national champion.

I know people like to blame lawyers for almost everything, but I'm fairly certain I won't have had a lot to do with it if we lose.

Thankfully, I'm not expecting us to lose.

Come on Biz. You know the Randy Playbook - run right, run left, run up the middle. Stay conservative on defense (standard 4-3), avoid blitzing whenever possible, bend don't break defense (well except for giving up the big play in key situations). Quite the contrary, a fan with your 241 observational acumen will have the Huskies inside of Randy's head (execution) and most certainly can be "the difference maker" lololol Enjoy the trip and the game.

By the way -- I'm not sure how much their campus will be buzzing, because if you go online you will see that even tons of good seats remain unsold for the game.

I really wish I was going, but I was unable to get out of working at the other job. Like mentioned above hope every0ne has fun, is safe and is loud!

Good thing they didn't move it to an off-campus, professional football team, stadium in a large metropolitian area. Baltimore? Washington? Imagine the exposure (not to mention buzz) that UConn could have gotten there as opposed to Bryd Stadium.

Byrd I believe holds 54K. They're projecting somewhere in the high 30's for attendance. 15 to 20K seats will be empty tomorrow.

They could've played at FedEx Field (or whatever it's called now) and maybe even painted "UCONN" in one end zone. But I doubt MD would do something as silly as that.

Leaving at 12:30!!!! Go Huskies!!!

Huh? Makes you wonder why two years ago Maryland didn't go after a head coach who would have made the Terps an exciting team that would have created a stir. Instead they went conservative - very conservative. Hmmm. Just saying.

I know how you feel. I've been looking forward to this game for almost two years, unfortunately we had my daughter exactly 3 years ago, so my hands are tied.

What, she wouldn't want to celebrate her birthday at the Air and Space Museum, or National Zoo?

 

[pepband99]

I disagree, BTW. UConn's campus now is >>>>>> College Park.

10 years ago? Maybe a wash.

 

[Doggie Style]

Anyone else flying out of Bradley tonight?

Maryland's mall is really nice, longest in the country. The campus is decent from what I remember, my brother went to school there. Byrd really wasn't anything special when I was last there, decent stadium. Comcast is nice, but also not the best, a little too professional and corporate from what I remember. I'd take Gampel any day. The surrounding area is really not that good, Prince George's County a few years back was the highest crime county in the country, don't know if it still is.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Springsteen tonight at Nats Park, UConn football tomorrow. All I need is a win and it will be a perfect weekend

 

[UConn4ever]

After 6 hrs we finally made it!

7 PM flight on Southwest with my dad, my daughter and my lucky Red Stripe lager hat. Hooray Beer!

If anyone sees a penguin in a UConn shirt, my buddies are treating me right for my bachelor party.
