Will there be a UConn student section?

Grandstand sections 15, 16 and 19 are all Uconn Sections. I am sure there are other sections for Uconn fans as well but that what was shown when I went through the Uconn link.

I bought through the school and I’m in Grandstand 12 so that whole area should be UConn they sell the tickets in batches and not all at once

Not exactly turn-key when you have to install a football field in a baseball stadium but other than that, I get what you are saying. I wonder how much it all costs to do that anyway...lines, paint, benches, goal postss, nets

Holy Cross played Georgetown at Fenway a few weeks back. There were also a number of high school football games played at Fenway during Thanksgiving week. The field has been set up for a while.
 
Already got my ticket. Any word about fan buses to Fenway through Dattco? That worked well last year. Bus stopped at Southington & Tolland Park & Rides.

Still a good opportunity for kids to "try out" in front of the new regime. Playing a football game is not going to hurt the program. Maybe Evers(or Farrar or McDonald) looking for an opportunity to impress. Will be interesting to see who of the current portal guys play and who opts out. Did I see Cam is going to play?

This sucks.

Totally different team in the bowl game. Hard to get on players about playing when you can't even get coaches to stay. Probably should have turned the bowl down (only half joking).
 
With Sammis and Brock leaving, does anyone know if they will still be coaching in the bowl game?

Sammis - yes. I don’t believe I’ve seen hard confirmation on Brock yet.

Rather than lament who is opting out and entering the portal, I have a thought question for the boneyard. Given the key pieces we may not have, for those who have watched most if not all of the games this season, how do you think Sammis will adapt/change the offense so that we can move the ball (slow mesh, RPOs, etc), and what other changes to defensive schemes would be possible given Army's style of play? I read earlier this week on Reddit a post by some Army fan warning UConn fans to prepare for 9 min marches of doom...that both made me almost spit my tea whilst instilling a fear of a brutal beating. Where's our sim fans, what do you think we may do to at least keep the game competitive?
 
Army is going to play keep away. They go for it on almost every 4th down. I remember Evers being an effective runner prior to injury.

Rooting for a ten-win season., happened once in program history. Rooting for the players who want to make that happen.

1998, Skip Holtz's last year, finished 9-2 in regular season, then won & lost a game each in the playoffs to finish 10-3. UConn was in the NE Division of the Atlantic 10 Conference (1-AA aka FCS) at the time.
(I had to look it up cuz I certainly didn't remember that lol)
So this could be our first 10 win FBS season.

Sammis will do what he's done all year. Get the ball to the best player on the field

Who that is, idk

Assuming guys like Neider, Honig, Vereen amd Porter play, they will be the targets. Hopefully, Evers can find them. I’m not sure how much harder getting open will be without Skyler getting attention.

Edwards will obviously get most of the carries. Maybe, Mel Brown will play too?

Defending the triple option is my worry.

Chadwick? You mean Edwards?

Would you Guys have preferred we've gotten Navy over Cincinnati at the Liberty Bowl down in Memphis? 🤔 Many of these Bowls are Conference specific, unfortunately including that one.
