UConn vs USF

I'll finally put up this post for Saturday Night...

Saturday rolls around, and what does UConn turn into...how about a winter wonderland lol (no homo)

Literally it's a blizzard out there! What makes it more interesting is that we have a night football game at 8 o clock vs South Florida, a team completely opposite of UConn's style: they thrive in the warm weather, with a prolific passing offense while we do work in the cold with a powerful running game. My roomate and I were all set with tickets, being season ticket holders, however we were missing one thing--bus tickets.

Now, Uconn is different than a lot of other colleges in that our football stadium is probably thirty minutes off campus, so to compensate for this the university offers bus tickets for 4 bucks each that need to be purchased about 2 days in advance. It's such a pain to go down to the Ticket Office and get them though, so we decided to try our luck and wing it.

Pat and I headed down around six thirty because we heard from a floormate that the last bus always lets you in for free. Unfortunately for us, there was a huge line still to get on, so we decided just to go inside the student union and grab some hot chocolate before attempting to sneak on. Better warm and sneaky than cold and sneaky lol. So we head in, grab some coco, and come out, and what do we see but two girls sneaking onto a bus. Pat and I pulled our best Kronk impression (the body guard from Emperor's New Groove lmao)and snuck on after them.

We decided to lay low, but the Kraut was trying to make small talk as more and more people got on, finally it was just the 8 of us: the two girls, four guys, and my roomate and I. As I listened to their convo, it suddenly dawned on me--these were the ticket checkers! I texted Pat quickly to lay low lol and we started cracking up at the irony, and the bus took off for the game.

Jimmy, John, and Kati all grabbed front row seats and we took our place next to them, and started going crazy for UConn. The field looked really amazing in the snow flurries, if you can check out some pics of the game on UConn's website I would do so. It proved to be a sick game, South Florida scored a go-ahead touchdown with 40 seconds left to go up 27-26, but we stormed back and our terrible kicker pulled some late game heroics with a 42 yard field goal as time expired ftw! We saw ourselves on the video highlights (my roomate was in an orange coat, easy to spot) and everyone was going absolutely bananas!!! Such an epic win!!! Now we have a pretty sweet bowl game in Alabama vs. South Carolina! Let's go UConn!!
