Is Evers starting? Assumed that

Really disappointed with the amount of open seats I'm seeing online.

The game is on the same day as the hartford marathon. Definitely not helping the cause

 

[Waquoit]

Want payback for the Meineke Bowl.

That was a rough one. We were never in it.

 

[Waquoit]

It is going to be perfect weather.

UConn led 10-0 at the half.

Is there really a crossover fandom between people who go to watch marathons and people who go to football games?

If so, trick the marathon fans. Have the marathon route go over a bridge and in to East Hartford and run through the stadium. Fool those marathon fans in to buying a ticket to watch the marathon and keep them in there for the football game.

UConn led 10-0 at the half.

I clearly forgot that part. I just remember sitting there feeling miserable.

You weren’t alone. Many of us felt the same, especially after leading at the half.

It’s not the crossover , it’s the traffic patterns being affected. The casual fan looks for reasons not to go - dealing with traffic pattern changes is a good reason for them to stay away.

That's sad to hear. I figured that my making my once-a-decade appearance at the Rent would've attracted at least 2,000 people!

UConn led 10-0 at the half.

I was at the game and UConn had a good first half. Unfortunately, they didn't score in the second half. Final Wake 24 and UConn 10.

I was still happy that I made the trip down to Charlotte for the game. Charlotte had an ice rink for Christmas and the Patriots-Giants game was on in all sports bars that Saturday Night. Patriots won 38-35.

I remember packing a sports bar downtown the night before to watch the basketball team. A bartender was quoted in the Observer the next day saying UConn fans were "good tippers."

We were up at halftime

Only if you bring jello shots.

I remember sitting at a bar near my hotel and being surrounded by Wake fans. That and the long drive home.

I don't normally mind the drive but we hit snow driving back on that Sunday night.
