[QUOTE="andrsnsm, post: 1386577, member: 10240"] While I am amazed that UConn is actually going to a BCS bowl game it is only because the Big East sucks in football. It will be interesting to see what TCU does in the Big East. UConn is definitely NOT a borderline JC. Football is not as big as basketball but it is growing tremendously. They have only been playing Div I-A football for about ten years and the old stadium was like HS. Our company donated land in E.Hartford and a new stadium was built but it still only holds about 45,000. Relative to basketball, a "decent team"?? That's pretty funny. I can attest that Big East basketball is huge and makes Big 12 basketball look minor league. I have been to OU games that were nationally televised and they had to ask people to move to the better seating so the arena didn't look as empty on national TV. I have also been to UConn games that were incredibly loud with no empty seats. But I digress, OU should wipe the Fiesta Bowl field with UConn. I hope not, but they should. If I had not attended school at UConn I would likely pull for OU (dang it hurts to say that so much lately) [/QUOTE]
