Circling the Dog Sleds: UConn vs Houston 11/21 For BOWL ELIGIBILITY

[Dooley]

We have two weeks. TWO. Two weeks to see as many tickets as possible to give our guys the best home field advantage that many of our players have EVER experienced. Yes, it will be cold. Yes, Houston is the better team on paper. Yes, we do not have any rivalry or history whatsoever against Houston that would stir up those natural feelings of venom.

One more win. That is all we need to secure our bowl eligibility. Houston is the better team, but how often do we see a southern team come up north and struggle in our elements? Dress warmly - wear layers. Tell everyone in your group to wear layers. Bring extra hand and feet warmers for those stubborn few in your group that refuse to dress properly.

IT IS TIME TO CIRCLE THE DOG SLEDS, #UConnNation. Will a full, loud crowd guarantee a win over the best team we will have played all year? Of course not. But it certainly wouldn't hurt. It also wouldn't guarantee OR HURT our power conference profile!

This is the biggest game in the past 5 years. We have only had a handful of ranked teams come to the Rent. On November 21st, there will be another one coming. And this time, we have so much riding on it.

We have two weeks. If you don't have tickets, use promo code FRONTIER to grab up some for $15. FIFTEEN DOLLARS. That is a small price to pay for the biggest game in 5 years.

Let's welcome Houston to New England Novembers and UConn Country with a little of this...



I'm so fired up that 2 weeks will seem like an eternity! Go Huskies!

Count me in....
However I'll be wearing red and white.

I vote Dooley for President!

It's funny to think that this is the biggest game in 5 years, but you may just be right. Getting a win over this 16th ranked and undefeated Houston team while qualifying for a bowl game would be bigger than the Michigan game that we should have won. It would be bigger than the 3-point overtime win against #19 Louisville in their stadium in 2012. This one would be huge, not just by the numbers and access to the bowl, but by the complete transformation that it could have for our program. It would finally have signaled our return. It would ring the bell for all in CT to hear.

Let's go punch someone in #$king mouth now...

I will buy 10 tickets to distribute if people guarantee their attendance.

Thanksgiving Recess begins on the 20th - no? This is the weekend they need to pull out all the stops and figure out a way to encourage, incentivize, cajole, bribe the students into making the game before bailing for home.

My hope, Houston knocks off Memphis this week, and then come up to play in the cold while looking ahead to Navy for the West Division title. A man can hope can't he. That would be an ideal position.

Love the OP but no need to say "Houston is the better team" once, let alone twice.

Welcome to Connecticut! I hope that you have a great stay up here...except for the 3+ hours that our teams take the field.

Yup. Ranked opponent, bowl game eligibility, HUGE block in rebuilding our program's foundation, outstanding momentum going into 2016, and great for recruiting. It will be exciting to see and hear the Rent again with so much on the line. There is no question that Houston is the best team to come into our stadium in years and they'll be playing for something too. Let's hope that the combination of weather and crowd noise will give our guys an edge!

U-C-O-N-N!!!!!!

Trying to get my friends to head up with me. Don't want to go alone but could end up bringing 4-5 with me.

"BAND" promo code still works. For now, only section 217-219
"PW2015" doesn't work.
Lot more sections for the "FRONTIER" promo code.

Thanks - I just picked FRONTIER since it offered more sections/choice to those buying tickets. BAND also works too.

I hear you. Under-promise, over deliver. At least...I hope!

Amen Dan! A-Freaking-Men!

@Dooley I see you posting about promo codes for tickets. Can you start a thread for all fans able to attend the game with promo codes to entice them. And we can spread on Twitter/Facebook/other social media as well? Any legal ramifications that need to be taken into consideration before attempting such a thing? Any way to make fans/potential fans aware of deals and access to tickets would be a plus.

I'll find the other threads with promo codes and bump them. I doubt there are any legal worries to be concerned about: these are UConn offered promos to sell tickets, after all. But to summarize, the two codes that I am aware of are:

FRONTIER
BAND

I've been to 4 out of the 5 Home games so far this year. I bought my 3 tickets to the Houston game after the 2-0 start in September and I'm trying to get more of our friends within the next week to join us. I'll be as optimistic as I can hoping for 40K at PAWS ARF for 11/21. I'm spreading the word all around my neighborhood for people to go to the game (Most haven't been to a game since the '09-'10 season).

[BNich]

Where did you find this? And how do we spread the word?

 

[UCFBfan]

Thanks for posting that video. Was in that section during that game and it was incredible! Never seen the TV clip of it. Hope the Rent can be rocking like that again soon.

 

[huskymedic]

It was emailed...

 

[BoatShow]

Ummm obviously a lot can change between now and then but early forecast from accuweather.com says high of 62 and bright sunshine on the 21st

I'm bringing some local H-town brews to share with the UConn faithful while tailgating. Going to be good times.

 

[coachcap]

Went out with some couples on Saturday evening & suggested that they go to the Houston game & join my tailgate crew. They are mulling it over. We'll see.
