Can anyone vouch for whether the fans were any more subdued than usual?
Not the fans I saw outside the stadium, they seemed to be doing typical pre-game chants. One who was interviewed was getting ready to fight with the reporter and asking him (with spittle coming out of his mouth) “Are you a JoePa fan? ARE YOU A JOEPA FAN? If not, get the F outta here.”
Maybe it was an isolated incident, I don’t know. Another fan interviewed first offer thoughts and prayers for the victims and basically said he was there to support the players who had nothing to do with these incidents. Which makes sense to me.
I can tell you as a life-long UConn basketball fan that if Coach Calhoun had done basically nothing when one of his assistant coaches raped a 10 year-old boy, I’d be rioting as well. I’d be rioting to have Calhoun fired and his name removed from the UConn medical center. But maybe some psycho UConn fan would be acting like the Penn St fan I saw.
