Best Big Red Moments?

[Carduccib]

Which games for you produced the best Big Red chants?

 

[Waquoit]

Tropicana Field, 1999. The U-C-O-N-N cheer shook the place. Even better, it put the Duke fans on the defensive the entire game.

Kansas at the HCC....1997

I hate to ask, but did he die? I hope not.

He was at PAWS-ARF 5 days ago.

 

[MexicoHusky]

99 against Duke and OSU games were both solid. That place got pretty loud for a large stadium.

On the bus from Clearwater Beach to Tropicana Field, March 29, 1999. Big Red sat up front in a jump seat next to the driver and had access to a microphone. He had the 50 people on the bus pumped up for National Championship #1.

He actually opened this year's Maine football game with an onfield chant

 

[UConnfan4ever]

2004 saw him leading chant from a boat around the San Antonio river walk. Awesome

Cool interview here from early 90s:

 

[Chief00]

Clearwater Beach bar after they won

 

[Eskapeesto]

Grace, Charisma, Sprezzatura. The man has it all.

 

[Palatine]

Saw him on Thursday before the game. He's Great White now.

Against NC State (1989?) with Fire and Ice (Corchiani and Monroe). I always thought it was his first time doing it, but many have said it wasn't. Even though we lost, he got the students totally into the game when losing.

 

[JMick]

Wait a second. Tom Emery is big reds name? And Temery runs the boneyard? Is this something I'm just realizing now....?

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Big Red chants may just be my favorite thing at UConn games.

Would love to see the school honor him at a hoop game someday soon.

An absolute legend in the game.

Surprised no one mentioned MSU 2014 @ MSG

Was he there? I don't remember?

 

[temery]

I'm going with ... my trips to Foxwoods and getting comped because the pit boss thought I was Big Red. The guy needs glasses, but I got free meals and entertainment.

BTW - I know a few people who have met him and asked about the boneyard. He apparently think most of y'all are a bunch of dopes. So we have that in common too.

Lol, he probably got on, said something stupid and got shat on. I know a few people who feel like the 'yard is a little harsh. My standard answer. Don't be an idiot you'll be fine.

I was there for the Hartford Courant site (Vent?). Posted once on the first 'yard, and was called an idiot, and told to start my own site if I wanted to post stupid questions.

... and the rest is history.

FWIW, the BY is a pretty benign place but if you post something on a internet board, you are inviting commentary. Some may agree with you, some may disagree. Who cares? Make your point and move on. Too many people get too invested in trying to get the rest of the world to be in lock step with there mind set.

This is the biggest boneyard secret. Don't tell anyone else!
