Bobby V to be at UConn's First Night on Friday

Didn't take long for Bobby V to find work after being canned by the Red Sox! He's performing at UConn's First Night festivities Friday night!

OK, different Bobby V. The one who'll be at Gampel Friday night is the former Bobby Valentino, who's apparently a platinum recording artist. Here's some more info on Bobby V. (Doesn't he know that AC/DC had an album called 'Fly on the Wall' back in the 80's?).

The doors open at 4 p.m. on Friday, and the first 7,500 fans in attendance will receive a FREE rally towel courtesy of SNY. Also, the first 75 UConn students (with a valid ID) in atendance (at the North Entrance) will receive VIP courtside seating for the event.

The UConn volleyball team takes on Cincinnati in a BIG EAST showdown starting at 4. The 2012-13 men’s and women’s basketball teams will sign autographs for Husky fans from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.

First Night will be headlined by feature performances from Bobby V, the UConn band, cheer and dance squads, introductions of the players and coaches, a dunk contest featuring the 2011 winner Ryan Boatright and ultimate prize giveaways. The show will end at approximately 8 p.m.
