UConn at Providence Thoughts

[Kembacity]

I honestly don’t understand why anyone cares if the team were playing has black in their scheme. Is it like wearing white pants after Labor Day??

I personally think of this when I’m going to a game, like I wouldn’t wear my red UConn shirt to a St Johns game, but I’m a crazy person so it’s different. I wore my musket throwback Jonathan shirt to the Charleston tournament when we played Xavier and lost in 2OTs and ever since I feel I have to think long and hard about jinxing thru gear choices

i am a fan of the jerseys (and know that hurley only likes to change it up after a loss)

Is that true? Could do without the gimmicky superstitious stuff.

Ok, but the uni we are wearing is black? Which isn't our normal color. So if we were going to wear black, the one team I wouldn't wear black against is PC (and maybe Georgetown). Fire that baby up for Creighton.

Must win game. No excuses except for the slippery court at the dunk!

It’s true. He did it last year. He and the die hards share the same superstitions.

Calhoun did the same thing. We wore the alternative grey’s Craig Austrie’s freshman year until we lost

a 95 year old rivalry continues....

and now, after a pantload of threads, posts, restaurant rec's, and such on all things Providence, it should finally be clear to all asking the question 'who is our rival?' that the answer is PC. it's big fun.

as always, the records are almost completely irrelevant.
they do have that taylor thing going on lately. she's got juice.
coming up near a hundred years -always changing, always the same.
a good time will be had by all, unless ur a lunatic. don't be a lunatic, as they never have a good time.

and, what is with our native land of New England and stadium tunes?
most places out there have 'we will rock u' and such, you know, normal stuff, but here, we get 'sweet caroline, muddy waters, you belong with me,' and im sure, others like those having almost squat to do with a game at hand.
we should dig up a fiddy cent tune having nothing to do with sport to join in. forget michael bolton or michael booboo or whomever of those types that live here.
jumping is a part of most sport. this is how the others do it out there.
i don't even know the words to caroline, muddy, or the taylor one.

Fact: McKinley Morganfield was a huge Standells fan.

It's more degrading for the opponent if we win. Not only did we beat you, but we did it wearing your colors.

yeah. we wore the "connecticut" jerseys (and the coaching staff wore red pullovers) for, like, a month last year because of it.

hurley also doesn't change his underwear after a win. it's been well-documented, haha.

With Adam and Eve?

His team was in the stands waiting to play in the BE tourney. Of course it always pops into your head, how is he named God?

If someone else posted, apologies..great take from Borges:. UConn men's basketball team may be in for most hostile road experience yet at Providence

The black uniforms were appropriate for our untimely burial.
Said yesterday I don't like gimmickry and now have to find a way to dislike them even more.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

final thought on this chapter in the saga of UConn visits Providence.

the staties were lettin everybody absolutely fly back on the interstate.
80s and even 90s were the norm. my pals be like, in Cranston area, 'no way, u ain't driving. we got a chance to be home faast. get out of the chair.'
cool.

Positives from the game-
-Hurleys game plan of having everyone push the ball to the rim was long overdue. We have spent entire halves hoisting threes. i just wish we had better guards that coudl finish at the rim. shots just didn;t fall tonight
-the new uniforms didn't work but i'd like to own one
-ticket prices should start to fall for next few games

Black uniforms were the right color for the gathering.
