Who would have thought that hardly over one month ago, a single University of Connecticut Huskies fan eating a spoon of hot sauce would become an internet sensation throughout Husky Nation? Definitely not Bryan Jackson ‘12 (CLAS), who tweeted on the night of Jan. 5, as he watched the men’s basketball team enter half time down 18 points, that he’d drink hot sauce if the Huskies came back to win against Marquette.
“I woke up the next morning and saw that all these people had done it,” said Jackson. “This is kind of crazy,” he said he thought to himself.

From heartburn to heartwarming. Copy Link
The unique, and somewhat ill-advised, act of drinking a shot of hot sauce will help kids in Connecticut receive free tickets to UConn athletic events – welcome to social media in 2021.
“The Hot Sauce Challenge” has taken UConn Nation by storm since a January 5 men’s basketball victory over Marquette. UConn was trailing the Golden Eagles by 15 points at halftime in the Huskies’ third game back as a member of the Big East Conference.
Bryan Jackson ’06 (CLAS), or @BpenfieldJ, as he is known on Twitter, proclaimed at the half that he would do a shot of hot sauce if the Huskies came back and won the game.
