Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3222097, member: 5798"] Sounds like a plan. In the mean time the "REAL" UConn fans and boosters had better get their butts in those seats for the home games the next few years and support the team (not to mention the boost in the much needed additional revenue). Potential recruits look at things like that. They ask themselves...................how much fan support does this team get? I think we both agree that in order to win, you've got to have (and attract) good players. 1-11 doesn't get the attention of the nation's best recruits. Things don't look any better for the upcoming season either: [URL='https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-sp-uconn-football-aac-preseason-poll-last-20190716-fprmxujawbbihjeywq5cefbfui-story.html']UConn picked to finish last in preseason AAC football poll. [/URL] A full stadium is more impressive to a visiting potential recruit (and those watching on TV) than one that's 60% empty. :eek: Nobody wants to play in front of a bunch of empty seats. Especially if they're not winning. What's that old saying: [B]Build it and they will come.[/B] There's another one: [B]WIN, and they will come.[/B] Everyone likes a winner, and wants to be part of it. I'm with you, and I wish UConn all the luck in the world. ;) [/QUOTE]
