Another good one is when Jim went to a party with Elaine and discovered that he knew how to play the piano well beyond Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Yeah, that’s partially it, but it’s also just frustration with the system. We are being disappointed by the system and when it hits your fan base you feel it.

A couple of years ago when FSU was looking like a national champ until their QB went down in their last game, their fans were absolutely pumped. Then they got left out of the playoff because they were a depleted team without their star QB. So, then half their starters or more opted out of the bowl game and they got wrecked. The average fan, including the ones on this board, had no sympathy whatsoever and did not want to hear that their good players didn’t even play. They said FSU was just a paper tiger and “next man up” and all the other cliches. Unrelated most likely, but FSU has had real rough sledding ever since.

We cannot afford that kind of reaction when Army grinds us to dust. Nobody cares that we may not even have a QB for the game if the one remaining guy we have turns an ankle in practice. This is a systematic failure and it looks like it is going to make a mockery of our program at a very bad time.

On top of that, in order to cheer on your team you have to pay a bunch of money and freeze your butt off. Bad timing and unfortunate circumstances all around. The only thing that makes this ok is if tons of crazy UConn fans show up and our remaining guys somehow pull off what could be considered a genuine miracle. I hope it happens but it sure looks like we are about to be a victim of the system.

Yes. This is a UConn issue only.
No other programs are dealing with coaching changes, disappointing bowls or players sitting out.

🤦🏻‍♂️

I will believe that Evers would pass on a chance to start a game before entering the portal when I see it. Just from his Mom’s social media, he can’t be that stupid. Why wouldn’t he want to let the world see him play.

I’ve got bad news for you

 

[Blades]

If it's true about the ticket sales, that's pretty impressive.

One really relevant fact, that maybe other Uconn fans can confirm, is that this years Fenway ticket prices are now more than double ($64) the cost of last years game.-

 

[HuskiesFourLife]

When do we find out who is playing for us in this bowl game?

 

[Hoophound]

For guys like Evers that have a lot of physical talent and were highly rated in the past, it might be better for NIL negotiations to stay off the field and sell suitors the potential and development over the last few years at UConn. If he gets on the field and looks awful, bye bye paycheck.

The only possible reason that I can think of is that the OL ones are not playing.

i noticed that myself. Decided to wait until there is clarity on who is actually playing. Still do not know. Maybe on Christmas Eve they will issue a two deep.

I bought tickets immediately and paid $6 more per ticket (6% increase) which seems reasonable. My group was 10 last year and 24 this year. They are a little dissapointed with how things have worked out but still pretty pumped for the game.

I'll be honest. It's absolutely unconscionable that the school hasn't addressed this yet. It's been two weeks since rumors started popping up here, and at this point players are either practicing and getting ready for the game or they're not. I'm glad ticket sales are going well, but this is a huge fail on Benedicts part.

 

[king conn]

I actually think they are trying to recruit the players on the fence into the game. They actually just started practicing a couple of days ago.

Once they have full clarity then I think they will release the information

Agreed. It’s ridiculous to ask ppl to buy tickets to a game when we have no idea who is still on the team , who is still coaching etc. College football has to make major changes

It’s planned. He wants to sell tickets, lock people in, then they will announce who’s in/out.

I believe that the players reported back on Wednesday and yesterday was the first official Bowl practice. Storrs Central mentioned that Sammis and select players are meeting w/ the media later today?

I think they couldn't confirm who was opting out until yesterday as that is when players had to report back to campus for practice. We already knew about Bell and Fagnano being out for a while. And, these things are fluid.

Example. I’m hearing Evers may enter the portal and sit out. McDonald is hurt. So we might have one freshman QB available. Maybe ? Crazy
