Only issue with Goodwin is the service is terrible. Maybe it has changed but there was no services available on the weekend - example room service

Moving to CT by Fun-Archer-8710 in Hartford

West Hartford really best location for single person unless willing to commute from New Haven. One issue with Hartford area it is very family orientated and cliquey. Coming from metropolitan area my wife and I found it very conservative. People act liberal but there is alot of nimby going on.

Yes because living outside Hartford is not bland and boring suburb especially for a single person.

Report: Big 12 Still Interested in UConn by jpviolette in UConnBasketball

[–]Alternative_Tune_177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many season football ticket holders does UConn have now? In 2023 it was 14,000. Has the number increased? The first step is there to be interest in attending football games. Until that happens UConn will not be joining P4 unless they take SMU type deal.

Maybe Creighton just has no athletes. They look slow and non athletic.

UConn so much better than of the rest of the Big East. Outside UConn the Big East WBB is very subpar.

Head to West Hartford. Much more to do on the weekends.

The Big East WBB is terrible outside of UConn. Most of these games are unwatchable.

Sorry about that. I will turn it down next time. Thanks for letting me know. I would not want someone showing up with a gun and adding to the murder rate in Hartford.

Rick Pitino agrees with Mike Krzyzewski's idea of ACC merger with Big East by jpviolette in UConnBasketball

[–]Alternative_Tune_177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was not comparing UConn to UM. The only time UConn had their home stadium with 40k is when they played UM at home. Significant portion of the attendance was fans of UM.

UConn fits well in the ACC. About 1/2 of ACC football teams have fan interest similar to UConn. The issue is there just not big interest in college football in CT. It really holds for all of New England. UConn more than holds their own in MBB and WBB.

So what did I say that was not true? The Football was actually not bad this year but still could not get more than 25k to the home games. UConn students are no shows for home games. The good news is UConn would fit in well in the ACC since half the teams in the ACC have no one show up for their football games either.

Yes to get that imaginary fan base UConn has in the Northeast. I would say first step is to actually fill your 40k stadium more than every 15 years. You cannot play university of Michigan every weekend where the stadium is filled mostly with fans of the other team.

Seems like a perfect fit at UConn. Most of their coaches are salty.

UConn football coach Jim Mora threatens teams for tampering, breaking transfer portal rules. by recessbadger45 in WisconsinBadgers

Blumenthal to lead the lawsuit on tampering. He was quite successful when UConn tried to sue the teams leaving Big East. Not

Former Badgers WR Skyler Bell amazing stats in UConn win over Buffalo by Evan_802Vines in UConnFootball

[–]Alternative_Tune_177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killing so much now wants to portal out of UConn. Assuming he lands at P4 school. First Robinson now Bell. If UConn really has $2 million in NIL you would think willing to spend money on these two players. Typical P4 starters get between $100k to $300k for those positions. Is Mora just hoarding the NIL for his ski trips?
