Army lost to an FCS team to begin the season. This is not an unreasonable take

Plus we have recent experience against their type of offense. Can they cover our guys?

People need to get a grip. This is one of the best paying and prominent bowls a g5 can get into. And the date/ time is more in line with all the important bowls, on the espn flagship for lots of eyes

Army is renowned nationally no matter what, and this years version gives us a good chance at 10 wins and maybe even close to a top 25 finish. We were lucky to get it last year, and yes we are lucky to get it this year. Most years we would be in Myrtle Beach playing Coastal Carolina or Marshall making 500,000 and spending it all on travel and logistics.

It's a prominent G5 bowl because it usually means playing an ACC team. This year, we're taking the place of the ACC team so it's not really that impressive. Issue is that we have already played in it just last year and the opponent is not big enough to convince our top players to not opt out.
 
I would be surprised if Army doesn't turn out reasonably well. We may set a new attendance record for this bowl with fewer UConn fans than last year.

Buy tickets through UConn and not Ticketmaster. We need to buy up the allotment

What’s the best way to purchase tix if it’s doubtful you’ll be going to game? I won’t know for sure ifor another week but want to help support UConn.

This looks like a same-day trip for me. Hotels on first look are twice what I paid last year.

Stay in Framingham or other town on the MBTA line. Cheaper and easier in and out of the city

It was the largest Fenway Bowl in history by many thousands. That is not abysmal by definition.

I didn't realize the attendance numbers they had on record and I did notice it was more attended than Cincy v. Louisville which I also went to, but there is absolutely no way that an extra 10k people were inside the stadium last year. I would have guessed a few thousand at most.

Link isn’t up yet but there’s usually a way to buy tickets and donate to military families, Make A Wish kids, or other youth groups

Just buy them on the Red Sox website. They are tickets in the MLB Ballpark app anyway.

Do you mean best way to support the program or best way for yourself if you can’t go?

If former - the AD will send out info later tonight

If latter - just wait till the last minute and buy from the secondary market

Had fun there last year and had a nice weekend in Boston with my better half. Agreed watching UConn's feeble run D bleed yardage in slow-mo vs. the triple option isn't a big selling point. Definitely not going spend on lodging like last year. If the extended weather forecast looks favorable will consider a round trip.

Thanks. The former. I want UConn to get credit regardless if I attend. MLB app does not seem like the way to go.
 
I think this is a reality check for those of us who thought we may be in line for one of the middle of the road bowls the P4 owns. They were never giving up Pinstripe. Dukes Mayo is on prime time on 1/2. Liberty is also on that prime day.

We are not in the club. We are probably a high end G5 based on our brand but still G5. Gasparilla was the one I thought we may sneak into. SEC slot but their less attractive one.

Oh well. I’m fine with the game. Hopefully it draws in more of the casual fans like last year.

Just really bummed it’s against Army. Particular since we already play them regularly. No novelty. If AAC would prefer a different team like Memphis or ECU or even UTSA. Oh well

Since when do UConn fans have the right to be picky about a bowl? Have we been to so many that we can take them for granted?
I was hoping for warm weather and a P4 opponent, but i am not complaining.

Because that means that our program has not improved standing despite all of the evidence to the contrary. Going to the same bowl two years in a row means this program is stuck.
