Fighting Blue Hens??? And Tom is complaining about the Huskies??? That's okay I suppose you could be a Golden Gopher

I know they have a football team. They couldn't compete in the Yankee Conference or th A-10, so they moved up to the money leagues.
And, yes, they did get a new stadium, away from campus and not exclusive to football. The state got pretty much skunked into paying for it. If memory serves me correctly, when UConn said they needed a new stadium, there was some serious resistence in Hartford.
All of a sudden, here comes this very timely rumor that the New England Patriots were considering relocating and Hartford was a candidate. I don't know how much, if any, of that happened, but the funds for the new stadium became readily available.
Amazing how that works, isn't it.
