We Get To Pick The First Night Teams...Really!

[JavaMan]

Hey UConn fans, and BoneYarders the ball is in your court. Vote for the teams you want to see compete at First Night.

Select your favorite match-up from the three options. “Like” the photo for 1 point or “Share” the photo for 3 points.

The match-up with the most points by October 7 will face-off at‪#‎UConnFirstNight‬.

The link takes you to a UConn Huskies FaceBook page. I (believe) that one needs a FaceBook account to vote. but not sure!

I think this did this last year, didn't they? Except maybe they had a bunch of teams you could choose from?

It appears there are three different teams that we can vote for.

I've been away from Connecticut for a while, so the last "first night" (sounds like an oxymoron) that I went to were run separately. Do you feel you get as good a look at the team in this format? It's great that there is camaraderie between the programs, but it seems to take away the team concept.

I don't think this event is supposed really showcase how good either team is or isn't. It is just a pep rally and PR for the basketball programs.
