I’m thinking it’s august 14th!! It’s an open practice at the Rent that day.

I hope they plan a make-up / rain date for this, too often the open practice does not take place due to an August thunderstorm.

The closest those ever came down via the fans was the USF game where we made the goal line stand(thank you Greg Robinson). How cool would it be if we could ever have that "problem" again?

I'm sure a thousand other people will tell you the same thing, but I swear that I was one of the first two people to rush the field the field that day. The first dude distracted the security guy then I led the rest of section 115 right past them.

security was ridiculous that night, thumping kids while another thousand ran on.

Looking forward to the open practice. Three of the four in my group are attending, We are going to do some tailgating then head up to the VIP event at 11:30 Looks like we will have a nice day, maybe a little warm.

Bit of a bummer. Looks like I'll be up in CT this weekend and looks like zero chance of making this event.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I am blowing off the Liverpool match against Norwich for this event. Will be too tired from a business trip to tailgate, but can't wait to go inside and hear from the coach.

Three years away from sellouts imho

This is a way to restart the program after a year off.

Winning record is coming

I am going. Looks like 10-12 from my tailgate group of around 20 are coming. I hope for the “practice” it is better than the last open practice at the rent and includes some live scrimmage. Last time if I recall correctly it was a lot of position group drills which are pretty boring (to me at least).

Fingers crossed, bringing new fans my self but we have to get the student section back also.

Love the optimism, that is what keeps us here.

No attack @TMB4405 but if you think the team is going to display anything thrilling one would be disappointed. It will be a nice meet and greet and a lets not get hurt bump and faux tackle day. No coach is going to run their best or not yet seen in public plays at a open practice.
Great visit / chat with coaches though and fuels the fire for the season for sure...

 

[TMB4405]

It is virtually impossible to offend me. Had not really thought about it from that side and it’s a fair point. I just remember being bored out of my mind at the last one. Was hoping for some live 11-11. But taking your point into consideration and knowing Edsall’s mentality we won’t be seeing that.

I'm just looking forward to going to see live football. After last year I plan on going to more college, pro and local high school games then ever before. One weekend I have high school on Friday, Uconn on Saturday and Patriots on Sunday. GO YELLOWJACKETS, HUSKIES AND PATS

I wish I was able to make it, but have a family party tomorrow afternoon. I look forward to hearing about what you guys see.

 

[coachcap]

Can't make it as I have to attend the memorial service for a relative who passed during the height of the pandemic. Relatives from all over New England are coming to pay respects. Will be driving right by the stadium en route to Vernon.Have a GREAT time everyone and, as always, I expect a detailed businesslawyer type post event report!

Any online viewing for tomorrow? That would be awesome!!
