Just checked the CPTV broadcast schedule and saw that the Jan. 23 game at Villanova has been added so now CPTV is down to four games it is trying to get clearance to broadcast. The games in question are Dec. 28 at Florida State, Jan. 2 at Seton Hall, Jan. 30 at Pittsburgh and Feb. 24 at Syracuse. If CPTV's past success rate counts for anything, I anticipate that all four games will be shown by CPTV bringing the number of games the station is televising to 21.

Here's a funny exchange I forgot to mention yesterday. When I am not covering the UConn women's basketball team, I am the Yale football beat writer. Well, a couple weeks back UConn sophomore guard Caroline Doty was at the Yale Bowl to watch her twin brother Kevin, a tight end for visiting Lafayette.

Caroline said she was thrilled to see her brother starting and even more excited to see him getting open on Lafayette's first offensive play. Then when she saw Kevin snare the pass, she was delighted. Her mood quickly changed when Yale's senior safety Larry Abare absolutely crushed Kevin Doty, knocking him woozy. Kevin Doty had to be helped off the field by Lafayette's medical staff.

Caroline, no stranger to injuries on a field of play, said she was tempted to run onto the field to check on Kevin but thought better of it.

The good news is that Kevin Doty was not forced to miss any games. In five games, he has five catches for 55 yards.

Just a reminder that doors open for the "First Night" festivities at 6 and the event kicks off at 7.

Kelly Faris, UConn's only true freshman, admitted she is excited for tonight's event and looking forward to tomorrow's practice but she's not so thrilled about the requirement that she does a dance when she is announced.

"I am excited about it but not about the whole dancing part," Faris said with a laugh. "I am not one that dances a lot but ... It will be fun."
