Accck was that bad, eh? lmao

But yeah, that's incredible. I may have underestimated uconn nation's bball passion and desire to return.

You guys know that's fake right? it's a meme format from i think the last world cup when england was making a run. this was one of the london pubs after a goal. people use it for all kinds of stuff

Was I the only one watching that press conference unrealistically hoping Ed Cooley would show up and shit talk UConn Clobber Lang style?

lol this made me think about Chaney physically threatening Calipari

I know Providence vs. URI is always heated... but Anderson has beef with Hurley?

No, but I as a St. John's fan has beef with UConn in a general "F-U" kinda way.

Yes. Still, they did a good job of syncing the BE screen over the soccer coverage. Only bounces around a little.

Still, there is no doubt that a very large fan base, representing much of an entire state, is about to walk into the club. Fun times ahead, except for people on a budget who otherwise want to come to NYC for the BET. MSG is about to get that much more expensive and the tournament will be electric.

No-brainer.

Great information, Husky. Yet another example of how football doesn't always drive the bus for every school. The Big East is maximizing its revenues by committing itself to the sport that it is most successful at (basketball). Throwing endless and ridiculous amount of money in the dream of high-level football is/was a waste of time and resources for UConn (and many other institutions). In the long-run, this will be an excellent financial decision for the school and athletic programs moving forward.

Gotta give credit to @UCONN6thBorough for the spreadsheet. It's incredibly telling. Also, I love how all the comments are about how unimpressive this is:

Sources: Since UConn's official re-entry to the Big East, Huskies have sold a combined 3,003 men's and women's basketball season tickets. 966 new in total.

It's very impressive. I think it also shows that people recognize how good the league has been. Even the UConn fans who have spent the past 5 years trashing the Big East. Perhaps they were rooting for the league to fail and wanted to believe the Huskies were in a better place in the AAC, but they're speaking now with their money to show that they know it isn't the case. It's gonna be fun to see Gampel legitimately rocking again.
