Trying to rebuild the fan base.

Without getting too technical, the definition of a fair weather fan is one who supports only winners. People love winners,

Which really isn't unique to sports fandom, but the view is far more negative.

Not worth debating. I go to the games regardless I think it’s ridiculous to pay for tickets and parking just to tailgate and get wasted. You can do the same. in the backyard and not drunk drive home. And believe me, sitting through most games the last half dozen years was. no tailgate party.

It is harder to sell tickets to see a good Houston team than it is to see a bad Cuse or BC team.

If we have a winning team I disagree. If we were a top 25 team playing a top 25 UCF team we're getting a big crowd. Bigger crowd than we'd be getting if we were still in the Big East but winning 2 or 3 games a year imo.

Certainly did not capture the imagination of any casual fan. I think you would have had more tickets sold for that game in East Hartford than were actually sold in Fenway.

I disagree. Pregaming for the game in the bars around Fenway, felt the most pregame buzz since probably the Michigan game. 2nd most in that time frame might have been Army at Yankee Stadium. Atmosphere in Fenway at least from the UConn fans was one of the best in a long time until things got out of hand. Obviously itd be better to do these type of events without giving up a home game, and I'm not saying we should make them yearly things as the gimmick could lose its luster pretty quickly, but I think these types of games every few years is a great idea.

I have been consistently right about BC the DC so far. Unfortunately, batting 1,000.

Also, Chief was right about Diaco getting fired.

Only in your mind... I don’t have the time/effort/desire to go back into the search function where you have been proven consistently wrong and provide the threads again for all to see. We’ve been through this ad nauseum on these two topics. There were even screen shots proving your description of the defense inaccurate.

Chief is a terrible football fan. Knows nothing about modern football. I'm sure he'd be great teaching us about the single wing or T offense but his lack of experience with anything newer is very apparent.

Consistently? It was one season. Literally impossible to be consistent when there's only one event lol. That's the definition of the word.

How many games are in a season? A pretty good sampling of doing the same thing and getting predictably bad results.

Predicted Diaco would be fired before Christmas - it happened soon after Christmas.

Same. Opponent matters to some degree, but I go to UConn games to watch UConn.

The best player playing as a FR on defense this season will be a recruit who was recruited for offense but Randy converted to defense. Jones from New Haven.

You don't have to tell me. I was there too.

Eh, I'll do it at 11:11.

First of all, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about

Second of all, you're really going out on a limb there. Our highest rated defensive recruit at the position with the lowest learning curve in football is going to be our best defensive freshman! What a prediction!
 
I love how Chief has “11:11”on the football board and Andre Drummond in Storrs with “hot looking bitches” on the basketball board.
