Does anyone know if Candle will be there? I read that he is a big Red Sox fan. He would probably enjoy seeing it up close.

ESPN went all in on sports betting and it has gone belly up.

When I was there about 8 years ago (ugh, time flies) there were discussions about if they should do betting or not, like get into it. There were a lot of people who thought it was next big thing. And hence, we get ESPN Bet, which was a spectacular failure.

DraftKings and FanDuel run it online. For all ESPN did, its promos and cross collaborations and pushing...they couldn't dent market share at all.

I thought ESPN only licensed its brand to the service and cross-promoted them in the app?! but it wasn't owned by them (Barstool)...

That's correct. It was owned by PENN Entertainment... it's now called the theScore Bet.

Honestly, the weather would be what reeled me in if I could make it. Boston with holiday decor still up and a fresh coat of snow is amazing. A snow day in Boston is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. The old neighborhoods like Beacon Hill transport you back to the 1700’s when the snow kills all of the road noise and the city goes quiet. I was fortunate to move to Boston for the winter of 95-96, which was the snowiest winter on record to that point. It was a snow globe all winter and I explored the hell out of that city. Fantastic memories. I was sad to find out that a beautiful girl that I spent some fun times with that winter died suddenly two weeks ago. Very sad. Has me missing Beantown. Get out there if you can.

-> However, the Fenway Sports Group was anxious to get UConn back in Boston and approach last year’s attendance, 27,900. They found a another spot for their ACC tie-in team and invited UConn back to play Army, now in the AAC. <-

-> “We’ve got a couple of options, if I have to, I’ll go out there and finish the game,” Sammis deadpanned. “I can still hand it off and not pull something. We’ve got a plan, a couple of guys ready to go. The beauty of having this time off, we can have guys with multiple reps ready, we can have multiple plans to be able to do what we have to do to win the game.”

If Nick Evers, the most experienced quarterback, were going to start, UConn would likely have said so. If he is not available, freshman Ksaan Farer, who played a handful of plays on Oct. 4, would be Plan A. Tucker McDonald, the other QB, has been out with a hand injury. Sammis could run some “wildcat” plays where the ball is snapped directly to a running back. <-
 
OK I’ll ask this question since most of the chatter is in this thread it’s probably a dumb question.

Can you buy a ticket at the box office, asking for a friend who is very very not internet savvy and only buys tickets at the box office.

We are headed up tonight instead of tomorrow. Was able to add a night at the Hilton Back Bay. Party now starts tonight. Not too worried about tomorrow. Our seats are covered and we have access to the Dell Technologies Club to stay warm, eat and drink.
