I remember going down to Miami for a Men's game when they just joined the Big East, I think Rebeca Lobo was a freshman, 1990 or 91. The women were playing in town as well. We went to campus to try to see the game and asked around where the game was, and I remember people saying, "we have a...

I got there a little before noon and was second to last row in the Blue lot, a half hour later they were turning people away, not sure where. It was also nice to see a lot of CCSU fans there.

I moved into a new house a couple of years ago, and it has a steep, fairly long driveway. Last year's plowing costs were ridiculously high, so I am looking to invest in a snowblower. I hate the maintenance of gas engines, especially on equipment that might not get much use, and have switched...

The flight to Lawrence was actually cheaper than KC. The Hilton I booked close to the stadium is now sold out that night.

How does a predicted 4-8 UCF team get ranked ahead of us?

Flights to Lawrence from Hartford are less than $300, leaving on the 2nd and coming back on the 3rd. Hotel walking distance to Allen is less than $150, very affordable trip.

I know it is not where you are looking, but if you are in the Berkshires, East Side Cafe in Pittsfield is a hidden gem.

That is about $500 in today's dollars, still a pretty good deal

I am watching 1971 on Apple TV with my 22-year-old daughter, who thinks we are in the worst of times. She had no idea about such relatively recent history, and the music is awesome.

I am a fairly high donor and can afford a lot of stuff, I remember the cost to go to the Fiesta Bowl and I balked, it cost more to go to one bowl game than it was to the entire big east tournament. Now a Boston trip is over $200 a ticket, can I afford it? Yes, but with all the other costs...

I am a semi-major donor. This is why I started this thread. Even donating at an astronomical level, I feel I am being priced out. I got invited to an away trip to a football game, and at a pre-dinner, I was at a table with a Coke rep who had never been to a football game and really was not...

I thought it was a fun guilty pleasure, everything you would expect from an Adam Sandler movie. It is worth watching just for the joke with the Jack Nicklaus cameo.

I have been a Sirius/XM subscriber for years, but I recently discovered the Spectrum channel, which offers a nice blend of old and new music. Eddie 9V is in the rotation and has won me over as a fan; his music has a nice bluesy 70s vibe. He will be touring in the area this August.

My Dad started buying football and soccer tickets (I think it was in the early 80s) because you got more basketball points. He didn't know much about soccer but started going to the games and fell in love with it. After college late 80s we started going to football games at Memorial Stadium...
