Everytime we get a chance to capture the casual fan, we let it slip by. Wake Forest is a bad team and we lost to them at home. We'll need to win these types of games at home consistently if we want consistent good attendance.

No Block C on throwback day? What?

The Block C helmets were 10000000x better. The current helmets look so JV so budget.
Need to go back to the Block C for big12 debut if/when that happens

Even the Wake fans know it..

We need to run that quick end of game offense all 60 minutes as Evers did have some nice passes (and 2 sweet TDs) today. We need to stop him from throwing on the run AT ALL and he needs to stop throwing screens at feet.

Easy enough fix.

I agree. This was a statement game. This was a chance to turn the page, change the narrative.

But at same time, it was an exciting game.

But I agree, we need to stop underperforming when it counts.

What was the throwback?

What was the throwback?

They let the fans vote on which prior husky logo was their favorite

Anyone happen to know if there’s a re-run link to watch the game? I had to leave the Rent in the 3rd after my two-year-old had a meltdown. I missed some pretty key moments from my understanding

The current logo was also up there... it got zero votes.

 

[Windham4th]

I knew "Throwback day" was gonna be a letdown when they strolled out in their current uniforms...

That is literally the easiest thing for them to have done unless Nike contract wouldn't allow them to wear Aeropostale uniforms...

Last couple games Gathings has been our best receiver.

-> The offensive line, which was identified as an issue after the Temple game, lost guards Ben Murawski and Kyle Jeurgens to apparent injuries early on and struggled to get an advantage against the Wake Forest front.

Brady Wayburn, in as a replacement at guard, flinched on the 4th-and-3 play on the final drive, which moved the Huskies back five yards just before the controversial no-call. It was only UConn’s second offensive penalty of the game (the first was on the very first play from scrimmage), but it came at the most critical time <-

And all white Jonathan made an appearance.

I think it was worse that fans chose Dancing Queen as the motivational song.

Who even puts that up as a possible choice?

Who even puts that up as a possible choice?

IIRC, there were no truly good choices. I think Crocodile Rock was the most upbeat song of the four.

Let's see some sandstorm, crazy train, welcome to the jungle etc up there.

Stadium only seats 38,000 and in that video the whole upper bowl is basically empty. There may have been 30,000 tickets distributed but no way there was more than 25,000 at the game.
