UConn social media is really cookin

[StunningSteve]

I'm always fascinated by PR... and these beautiful videos were released today, that show football commitment.

Those are beautiful locker rooms.

Looks great! All we need now is a football conference.

Uh.... about that....

Our football team is a zombie at this point. It’s dead, the fans just haven’t accepted it yet. This is actually kind of sad.

My sense is you're wrong on this. The team is energized. They want to win. And they likely will surprise this fall.

Gimme 6 cupcakes, a bowl game, bowl money, a slow comeback... then we will re-introduce this question.

My sense is that you are wrong more than I am.

This comment by itself made me laugh, what is it in reference to?

ol steve has been melting down for 2 days because his poor memphis tigers are left behind with what the aac passes off as basketball

I think we have to embrace this. Somehow Randy managed to snag a few more commits. He's selling them something. 1st order of business, call the other 6 independents (minus ND) and see what you can hash out. Maybe our mens and womens teams will be doing home and homes with BYU, New Mexico State, and others as well. If the administration has truly been pondering this for 6 months, they must have some things figured out.

1. First the games we negotiated get cancelled or schools demand a renegotiation of terms.

2. The overall schedule becomes even weaker and the best thing we have to sell recruits (we’re independent but you’re still going to play the big boys at home!) goes away.

3. We start recruiting at sub Diaco levels with no bowl tie in, no conference championship to contend for and not that many home games.

4. Football team becomes a bunch of dudes we send to south of border to collect a paycheck and come back with a few players in traction. They are basically sacrificial lambs.

5. We’re playing schools called “Dixie State” once a year.

PS What happens this fall is irrelevant.

Lol. Not a Tiger dude.. but I don’t think the Tigers feel inferior.. I think they are feeling precious actually.

This was clearly done to combat the national narrative that we are giving up on football. Like i always say coaches, (and other school officials) are always talking to fans, the team, and prospective recruits when they speak publicly, (and now with what they put out on social media).

I have to say that for once, it looks like they made a move with some prior planning done. Now that the sticker shock is wearing off, I'm getting excited by the move.

I already checked. Those guys are mostly booked to 21-22.

It actually looked kind of tone deaf and ill timed. It was widely panned.

We have a locker room but no plan.

Like you said renegotiation happens. I hope they did some due diligence here. There will be some wrinkles to iron out and some hiccups along the way. They will fill a schedule. East Carolina or Eastern Michigan? Who cares.

I've always felt like were victims after every nut punch from conference realignment. For once, we went on offense. Aresco and ESPN took a shot to the nuts with this one. To ESPN this is nothing, though i think they did relish the idea of the women's team behind a paywall. To Aresco, we shall see.

It is a great locker room.

It is a great locker room.

I’d think a locker room like that would get a leg up on recruits for whatever status UConn ends up as.
