    COVID Vaccination

    Couldn't read every single post, so I'm sorry if this has already been said. If you really want to get it soon, you could try calling Walgreens/CVS every evening about an hour before they close. I've been hearing a lot of stories about them opening a new set of vials and not being able to get...

    Game Summed Up: No Winning Plays

    Why is there absolutely no action inside the free throw line until under 8 seconds on the shot clock? Heck, sometimes they don't get inside the three point line until under 10. And why are Whaley or Sonogo ever out at the 3 point line unless they're setting a pick? Whaley is far more guilty of...

    OT: Question for anyone who has gone solar

    Temery, I switched later last year and have absolutely loved it. We used a company that can work (I believe) in all 50 states and it costs $0 to have the solar panels put up. The only stipulation is that they have to stay on your house for 20 years. They look at how much energy you used in the...

    NCAA tournament update

    Not sure if this has been brought up in another thread, or earlier in this thread (because when I re-opened this one it had grown from 4 pages to 13), but if I recall correctly there's a transfer rule that allows rising-seniors to transfer to another school without sitting out a year if their...

    NCAA tournament update

    My problem with a lot of the reaction is that it seems, to me, to be completely overblown. I'm appreciative of the fact that this virus is real. It has killed people. Albeit far fewer people than the flu, but I do understand the mortality rate is higher than the flu and that the virus is new and...

    Ben Gordon: “Where Is My Mind”

    Superjohn, you're 100% right with this. People are ashamed of mental health. Afraid to call out for help. I hope that a person with his status will show people, and give them the courage, that it's OK to be honest about needing to seek help. Knowing when to seek help, knowing when you've battled...

    Most "spectacular" plays in UConn histiory

    The dunk is great. The comment at the end is pure gold though: "Put that in your VCR and keep it." I love stuff like this, because the other day my 7 y/o asked me what a video was and I felt ancient.

    Recruits for Memphis Game

    This is my first year with season tickets (XL only), but I’m definitely getting them again next year. Outside of the atmosphere, it’s been really cool watching the team grow and seeing past players came back. I’ve run into a few alum the last couple games and was able to get some pics. Walked...

    DaJon Jarrett Ejecjted For Biting WSU Player

    Flagrant 2 in a 1 possession game. One of the funniest/most stupid things I’ve seen in a game recently

    Too Many Deficiencies- NIT

    I guess the remainder of my post didn't make it clear, but I agree with you. My first 2 words said "I disagree" (with the OP) and think that we can, and likely will, make the NCAA tournament. The part that you quoted was just meant to point out the obvious, that at this point no one can know...

    Too Many Deficiencies- NIT

    I disagree. I can't say, nor can anyone else, that we'll be a NCAA team, but I don't think we'll just be a few games over .500. There are 2 things that need to be worked out, from my perspective, to give this team a very real shot at somewhere between a 12-6 and a 14-4 conference record. Those 2...

    Hurley quote from The Athletic on Bouknight

    My guess is that with his suspension the focus was on running plays for the guys that were going to be playing in the first 3 games. He's also still playing (relatively) low minutes, so he hasn't been the focal point. With a week off from games, I think we'll start to see that change against...

    UConn Receiving Votes

    I thought we'd have gotten votes if we were 3-0 after Florida. I'm pretty surprised that there were 2 voters that seemingly overlooked the St Joes debacle

    Three Takeaways – Florida edition

    The only disappointing part of the game on my end was watching the defensive effort and realizing that if we had played that hard against St Joe's, we'd be 3-0. Growing pains. I imagine the boys remembered the practice that Hurley put them through the day after St Joe's and didn't want to...

    Guess the line for UConn/Florida

    Florida opens at -5.5. At game time it moves to -7.5 Edit: I think we cover the line. I really think the boys will be fired up after the St Joe's performance and we win by 5

    All quiet on Javonte Brown Ferguson

    Anything Pentatonix related deserves a like. My wife majored in vocal performance at UConn and sang a Capella for a long time. I think we listen to them too much though... my 6 year old told me that Pentatonix was his favorite band the other day.

    OT: Who here has a tattoo? Any particular meaning behind it?

    I have 3 currently, but plan on getting more. I haven't gotten any in about 11 years, because I have a rule for tattoos. If I like the idea/design/location, then I'll sit on it for 6 months. If I still like it, then i'll ink it. All of mine have meaning. First one is a phrase in Latin related...

    It's Andre Jackson Day

    Fleud, hate to break it to you (and quite honestly, if it's been working for you all of these years, then you be you), but you probably shouldn't be going to the vet for your annual checkup.

    OT: Car Accident Advice

    I've worked in the insurance industry for several year now and used to handle auto claims. First and foremost, in a claim like this, the only thing a police report is good for is to verify which parties the accident took place between. If they didn't witness the accident, all they're doing is...

    OT: Kitchen Renovation

    Dream Jobbed, I hate to be the one to tell you this (and I mean that in all sincerity), but that new family leave law doesn't start until 2021. "If signed, then starting in 2021, workers in Connecticut would get 12 weeks off to care for a new baby, a seriously ill family member or loved one or...

    That quartz ended up being out of stock. I was able to get the allowance from him and my wife picked out the style she wanted. So far so good.

    OT: Kitchen Renovation

    That's the part that I'm finding baffling. We have a signed contract that lists down to the gnats behind what he's doing/providing and what I'm responsible for providing. The flooring he gave us an allowance per square foot, but the countertop is just one of the items that's listed as included...

    OT: Kitchen Renovation

    Our contractor is showing up tomorrow for Day 1 of our kitchen remodel and I have to vent for a second. So far we've really liked the guy. Small company, enthusiastic, very responsive, great reviews and his work looks amazing from the pictures we've seen. For the countertop he really wanted us...

    OT: UConn Law School

    Sorry to open this back up with a question that goes in a distinctly different direction, but since it seems like several of you are lawyers, I'm curious what your thoughts are. By way of a brief synopsis, I went to UConn for my undergrad with the intent of going to law school. I realized...
