It is mind boggling to think of the journey we as UConn fans have witnessed over the past 30 years. I was telling my son the other day that I am old enough to remember a time before we made a Final Four, and look where the program is now. Doesn’t seem real, and it all started with the...

The whole house was rattling here on LI

The 1 seed always plays the noon game Thursday, but that said… Fox Sports app/website is likely your best bet unless you have a streaming service like YouTube TV or something.

Have had a great time getting back into Lego sets with my son the past few years (he’s 7 now). Probably the most fun we had was building a newer version of the pirate ship I had in my youth. Note - This discussion is much more my speed than the luxury watch thread. Now if it was a watch made...

If this team ever gets fully healthy, look out. Even if they get to like 90% there won’t be a lot of teams that can keep up.

Section 109 (+2) Such a shame about Castle, but it will be my son’s first ever UConn game in person so we are pumped

Finally received the Athlete’s Thread Sanogo jersey I ordered for my son last month - looks great & now I want one in my size.

People sometimes forget how good the 1999 team was. We all remember Okafor’s back problems in 2004 — but the fact is that if Rip and Jake hadn’t gotten hurt before the Syracuse game, that team would have been one basket away from an undefeated season (referring to their loss to Miami on senior...

Anyone have another link for this? I’m getting “Disney blocked this on copyright grounds”

This thread is very timely, as we are just finishing renovations on what will be a den/guest room. The room happens to have large windows and I don’t think we have the wall space in there for a Murphy bed. I will be checking out the American Leather sleepers - has anyone had experience with...

You should have as few debt obligations as possible when you leave the workforce. It’s much easier to weather economic downturns in retirement (even if just from an emotional standpoint) if you don’t have a mortgage payment. If OP is 1-2 years from retirement they should be looking to reduce...

normally Normally I’d agree, but as a general rule I would advise anyone who is 1-2 years out from retirement to pay off their primary residence ASAP. And I don’t know when OP bought their current home but there’s a good chance their rate is much higher anyhow.

If you are 1-2 years from retirement, I'd seriously consider using it to pay down the mortgage on your primary residence. The less debt you have in retirement the better - and with such a short time horizon you may find you save more from paying the mortgage down than you would have made from...

Love it, thanks!

Almost 30 years since he got to campus. Yup I'm getting old.

At the time it hurt but I agree. Florida may have been a tough matchup the next round, though I think ‘06 UConn was a team that tended to play to the level of its competition. Could beat or lose to anyone.

So sad to hear. He had a big impact on this community for sure.

Very sorry to hear. I'm little more than a lurker in this community and even I recognize his username. All the best to his family and friends.

Can’t wait for the 2021 Big East tournament. Should coincide with Hurley really getting the program humming again.

UConn to AAC:

Throw in BC and Pitt too.

iPad prices have dropped so much that I cant really imagine buying a different tablet unless I had a specific need for some non-iOS app.

I think you should renovate your bathroom instead.

Far less common back then, especially for freshmen and sophomores: NBA.com: Early Entry Candidate History

A programmer got a call from his wife and she said, "While you're out, buy some milk." That was 5 years ago -- he still hasn't come home.

The vendor gave him his hot dog, and Buddha handed his money over. A few seconds went by, and Buddha asked for his change. The vendor replied, “Change comes only from within”

I got the words “jacuzzi” and “yakuza” confused. Now I’m in hot water with the Japanese mafia.

I'll never forget this one. That's the loudest I ever heard the HCC/XL (granted I wasn't in attendance at the 1990 Georgetown game).

I'm sure there is. Maybe it's just the stage of life I'm in with a toddler running around, and I'll be back to binging on TV series in a few years. There are still a few shows I keep up with. But I find I spend much more time listening to podcasts these days, even around the house.

6 months in and I am totally satisfied with the combo of YouTube TV, Netflix and Prime Video. Honestly, I'd even get rid of Netflix at this point (hardly ever use it), but I let my parents use my account and I don't have the heart to cut them off.

Fellow E.O. Smith alum RIP Peter

Sounds like a really unfortunate accident that could happen to anyone driving late at night. Terrible.
