Here is reality: 15,000 people showed up to the Liberty game that clinched our bowl status. Connecticut residents don't care about MAC, CUSA, or Sun Belt opponents. If it is a P4 opponent, a service academy, or select MW or AAC programs, you will get a crowd.Sure, lets create a schedule that is so difficult that a good season is 4 wins. Lets tie that anchor around the program.
We need to play more G5 teams and those G5 games would be far more interesting if they were conference games.
Our fanbase is obviously in need of a serious reality check. BTW if if only P4 games turn you on then go root for another team. You are a fake UConn football fan.
Here is reality, the Boneyard was dead the week leading up to the Michigan game last year and far more energized by our win versus FIU.
Playing even more G5 teams (that are NOT our peers) that nobody has heard of is a sure fire way to kill the growing fanbase. Simple question: how many people show up if UConn plays FIU to open the season instead of NC State? It's nowhere near 36k.
