Big blog on campus: views from the student section at sportingnews.com

From Chris Licata, UConn Daily Campus sports editor

My professor was lecturing about the Haitian Revolution, but all I could think about was the 2004 ALCS. If you'd asked any UConn student last week whom the Huskies had on the football schedule, you'd have gotten an answer like:

"I don't know."

"Syracuse?"

"No idea."

What games were they going to watch?

"The Yanks"

"The Sox."

"The Yanks and Sox."

"The Sox and Yanks."

In Storrs, we're uniquely situated. The Civil War started early this season. There is no other campus in the region--maybe even in the country--that can claim to have such an intense rivalry. By the way, UConn beat Army.
