Uconn First Night 2022

[3rdbass]

Where is Hawk? Did I miss something?

Yeah no Hawk? Is he still injured? Something more serious? Never mind I missed it too with his hoodie on lol!

 

[millertime7774]

Already technical difficulties with sound?

 

[superjohn]

I can't do it, this feed is horrendous.

I don't understand why this is always such a huge problem for UConn.

And people complained about the FIU ESPN3 production for last week's football game.

For anyone who is a sub casual (or lower grade) fan like me here is a link to watch the events from home. You will need to create a login.

Or get the FloSports app. I'm using the app on Roku. You need to create a login (email and password) agree to the legal terms and hit the back button when it asks you for a subscription choice. No need to get a subscription for this event. That brings you to their free content. First night can be found by typing in UConn First Night in their search option.

FloSports has always been abysmal.

Was that it??

Was that it??

Im showing event concluded…thought there would be a scrimmage?

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Samson threw down some NASTY dunks

 

[superjohn]

They should probably just scrap this thing. Once upon a time it was cool when it was at midnight and they scrimmaged. Now it's just a bunch of people standing around, a coed three point contest and a few guys doing bad dunks.

No wonder we had no recruits visit besides solo

Yeah no scrimmage? Waste of time as that dunk contest was putrid. Hawks has better in game dunks than ones in the contest especially why he has to bite someone else's dunk. ugh

Why play a scrimmage and risk potential injury... I think its fine just being a introduction, dunk contest (3pt contest?), concert.

 

[Huskyforlife]

No scrimmage is pathetic tbh. You have a full arena of fans, give them the show they came for.

Why'd they choose captains and pick teams for no scrimmage?!

I have never met a bigger group of complainers. It's a silly sideshow so the college kids can get drunk after midterms. The septegenarians on the yard are not the target audience here or it would have been at 4pm and included access to werther's originals. Good grief

To be fair, Werther's are delicious

Seriously though, excellent post. Too many people just enjoy being cranky. Let the kids in college be college kids.

You're younger, you weren't going to the event back when it was at midnight and a fun event for college kids. Not sure about your 4pm and Werther's comment. 6:45 is now the time for a fun event for college kids? That kind of says it all right there.
Also, Werther's have always been awesome but the Callard and Bowser butterscotches I used to eat as a kid were next level.

Seemed to be having plenty of fun to me.

I just don’t understand the logic of not having this event open to the general public. They’re overthinking something VERY simple

I think last year was mostly the Covid protocols at the time. Open for business but not looking to pack the place...

This year we're still technically in a pandemic, so why change it drastically, maybe.

And people?

How can I watch an ESPN3 event?

Not aimed at you. The whining by adults throughout the game finally got to me. I thought a lot of it was funny.

Yeah to play a glorified skills competition. LOL! Didn't you see that one team got 5 points for whose fans cheered louder? Now that is way better than scrimmage. UGH! It was a joke.
