It’s not entitlement. It has to do a little bit with our poor play for years, but what it really has to do with is the school sucking any fun from the students and the fan base
That's funny
Stars do not do New England in the winter.
And who can blame them!
You and me both
There are a couple factors that go into it. 1st as others have said we are friggin starved. To the point of lunacy (admittedly me) to be relevant and win. The team is very good this year. Cooley is a marvelous ambassador for the program. Next is the student support. When you get 3/4 of the entire student body to attend games over two hours before tip, they will be fun.
I did.
The anthem was electric. Seriously all of it was impressive minus the Taylor Swift singalong. Very strange.
I don’t understand why we can’t fix the music. Seriously already, there is nothing worse than turning on a big game and we start with Jock Jams.
I actually like Villanova before Uconn was good. They were my second team and won that exciting game against G-town. I will always room over them than Providence who I hate the fans.Sorry even though all of my family is from Philly (GO TEMPLE!) I ain't rooting for Nova and definitely not over PC - this year or any year.
Are you going to ask me to root for Duke next?
we don't want to room with you either.
This is a man of unquestionable integrity.Sorry even though all of my family is from Philly (GO TEMPLE!) I ain't rooting for Nova and definitely not over PC - this year or any year.

Jock Jams to start the game isn't the problem. But I have noticed the music that plays at the Xl center is terrible. All they play is big room edm, like levels, animals, etc. I'm pretty sure they played "Pepas" like 3 diff times at the Marquette game. These songs can be good at a certain time during the game, but after every time out it feels so forced and feels like it is blaring in your ears Can the stupid DJ read the room and after a 5 min scoring drought maybe not just start blaring Martin Gerrix? I went to the St John's game at MSG and the music during timeouts was soooo much more enjoyable. It was a noticeable difference.
Yep, it is a big bonus, they get there over an hour before the game and start having their fun. Apparently there are PC “chaperones” approved by the Dunk and the city that try to keep it relatively in check and because of that everybody has a don’t ask don’t tell policy. If the kids get in trouble, they are on the carpet the following day for possible discipline. I give everybody involved credit for making it work.
I get a kick out of the Jock Jams complaints. I pre-date that stuff and don't like those tunes except maybe Gary Glitter. I'm from the We Will Rock You or Na, Nan, Hey Hey goodbye era. Whatever newer music you all want to play is probably not anything that will pump me up, but might as well try something. It would be cool if UConn had some old classic tune it could claim like the Red Sox do with Sweet Caroline. That would give the old farts something while you played newer stuff.
