1-3 in Pictures

Now that the college football season has completely finished after last night's game, which was the most exciting BCS title game I've ever seen. I would like to share my live UConn football experience in picture form.

First up. The Big House.

That large group of people in yellow is their student section. Despite the loss, the experience of being at a game with 113,000 other people made the 9 hour drive well worth it.

Next, Homecoming! Perfect football weather not a cloud in the sky and slightly cool. I managed to get a little sunburn at this game.

Next, the game from hell. 26-0. Ugghh that was painful to watch live. I will say that the Louisville fans were all very nice and VERY excited about Charlie. I hope I am as excited about our next coach at this time next year as they were about Charlie.

Lastly, UConn's final game of the year and as with the Michigan game, despite the loss, the experience was priceless. Although there were some jerk Oklahoma fans, insulting the deliciousness that is Keystone. How dare they!

It was shortly after this that any hope I had of us winning went out the door.

Here's hoping we find a great coach to take us a step further. But thank you Huskies for a thrilling football season and I can't wait to see what more Kemba and friends have for us the rest of this year!

nice

Nice pics, how did you get to so many games? I could only make 1 this year, 10/30 vs. WVU, but it was well worth the trip…

I live in central Illinois

Michigan – only a 9 hour drive and my cousin is a Michigan fan. Also, that is one of the stadiums I have always wanted to see a game at, especially since it is now the biggest.

Homecoming – since I live in the Midwest, I’ve been going back ever since I graduated to see friends and such. Basically, exactly what the purpose of homecoming is.

Louisville – 4.5 hour drive, so short enough drive to make a nice weekend of it in a different city.

Fiesta Bowl – UConn may never be in it again, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Plus I’ve been to every bowl game UConn has ever been in, so I had to keep the streak alive :)

You may have been to only one, but you definitely picked a good one. I would have loved to have been at the game that ended our losing streak against them.

18-1

Edsall: Thanks for building the program, but you are a huge douche and I hope you fail miserably in Maryland.
