I caught a few of their games on TV, Liberty and UMass. They are a decent team but the fan support was pitiful - especially for an area as big as Hartford.This is the photo on the front of UConn's football website... I know its supposed to be a cute pic of the mascot, but showing off the "Big 'ol girl" cheer team and a 85% empty stadium is hilarious to me.
Cropping is important.
Its really the whole Northeast culturally just isn't that into college football... I grew up on the PA/NY border and when I was a kid the sports world revolved around the Knicks/76ers, Yankees/Mets, Steelers/Bills/Giants. Those were the teams my grandpa and his buddies, all my unlces, all followed religiously.
All the more reason to hope they don't beat us. How bad would that look?
Same with UMass... There is no way in the world football can be breaking even at UMass... Getting railed by 40 against any team with a pulse doesn't exactly help drum up fan support. lol
Back when Blake transferred I kept tabs on him. He was a good kid that was hard not to root for. Anyways I remember reading back then that they were having several meetings about either dropping down to FCS or dropping football all together.
Man, I remember that fiasco... Lets take our cute, beloved by children, buffalo mascot and turn him into a roid rage man-bear-pig with a Great Dane head.
That was horrible. The guy from the Biden administration that was gender fluid and stealing suitcases on the side must have come up with that design.
Sorry, didn’t realize you designed that. 😬
Of all things to attempt to call me out on, this probably gives you the last chance of ever winning.
So you can make fun of big girls but not fake girls, got it.
That's like claiming to be the tallest midget.
Just to be clear, the post I made about someone looking horrible was in reference to that terrible clawed MARCO we had for a while, not the young lady who was leading cheers.
Got it? What you should have probably got is a two day pass to Pullman Square***.
I think MH was referring to political statements…but I could be mistaken
I can't even remember what I was referring to, but I would never make fun of big girls. Obviously, some people have never seen what lies beside me the morning after a night out on the town doing some heavy drinking.
Clarify which one.
Must have forgotten women’s field hockey were they won 5 National championships
Not hard to forget, 72. Like the rifle program at WVU, how extensively is women's field hockey played throughout D1 college sports? 12, 15, 20 or so schools, perhaps, sponsor such sports. Maybe like "beach volleyball" also, played in Florida, CA and Hawaii, and totally ignored in the other 47 States. WVU goes bat crap crazy over a NCAA rifle title, when only a dozen, maybe two, schools have such programs. Same with women's fh, I'm pretty sure!Must have forgotten women’s field hockey were they won 5 National championships
UConn Huskies field hockey - Wikipedia

It's mostly a college basketball state actually. Between 1999 and 2014, UCONN won 4 NCAA national championships.
Few remember that in 2002 or 2003 wvu cut the rifle team in order to save money. Even though its operating costs weren't all that much, it was about as much as an assistant's football coach's salary, so why keep it around? Nobody cares about this sport. Then everybody got all butthurt about the rifle team being eliminated, even though nobody ever gave a damn about it despite it being the best in the country. Now the rifle team is something they are very proud of. To be fair, I don't blame them. It's pretty cheap. As cheap as women's bowling. It's an Olympic sport. I love rifle and pistol competition. However, the fact is, they never cared about it before their athletic department decided to get rid of it to save money. Now they are like "oh, our rifle team is the best in the world, etc. etc, etc...." Everyone else is exactly the same way they themselves were before 2003, "who the hell cares about rifle anyway?"
