Very interesting. Looks like football will be a very big part of UConn culture in the future.

No Hot Dogs at the Dog House Party. What is the AD thinking.

I kid. Things like this are great. I know when I was in school I would have never gone but just getting events like this out there is important. It's easy to forget that students are usually there for 4 (or like many of my friends, 5) years and that fandom and traditions need to pass through these 4 year cycles. This is why building a program for 5-6 years is so important. You want the seniors telling the freshman that if they're not at a football game they aren't experiencing college.

If I were a student they would have had me at pizza... Pizza AND t-shirt is like gold.

Hopefully season ticket holders get a shot at sidelines passes, too. Or I may need to dig out my old UConn student ID....

That's life in the Baylor athletic department.

"Daniel Simpson Day, has no grade point average....all courses incomplete"
I was pretty much between that and Bluto's.

Mister Blutarski... Zero. Point. Zero.

They had 800 in 2014.

It should be mentioned that the T shirt you get is not a bs t-shirt, its a Nike dri-fit that you can't buy in a store. At least it was when I went.

This guy just won two on field passes for the spring game

Garret Anderson has a rocket arm. Bryant was 'charley checkdown' all day. Frank battle is absurdly tall. Redzone offense was pretty bad. Field goal kicking was perfect. 17 had some pretty great catches.

 

[BoatShow]

Those who went, thoughts on turnout?

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Love to hear more thoughts on the practice....I see comments on Garrett and Bryant...what about Davis?

1,000 Attend UConn Football's Dog House Party

My daughter went last night. She got there at 8:45 hoping the doors would open at 9:00 as advertised ... doors didn't open until 930. I thought punctuality was one of HCBD's strengths ...

Congrats. Don't just settle for a toss. Run a route.

 

[BoatShow]

I think that's the most yet! Unfortunately this is pretty much in lieu of the Blue White Game for students. Never really see them there.
