When I went to a game, that's where the band was.

The decision to put row 1 at the top of the boards, rather than below, is brilliant. Really helps sight lines in my opinion. That said, there are always blind spots in hockey arenas if you're close to the ice. That's the trade off. Toscano Family Ice Forum, University of Connecticut

So excited about this kid coming to Storrs. I feel like he's exactly the kind of physical presence that will really stand out and help us compete. Just a great fit for the program. Those quotes about unselfish play, guarding 1-4 and taking contact in the paint are music to my ears.

Exactly. What I remember on that big grass area between Arjona / Monteith and the old Co-op was mud. They'd find dozens of shoes and boots that had been stuck in the mud. Putting in paths was good, but now it's all concrete and not much grass.

Oddly mine was maybe a hair overdone. You could play ping pong with a slice. Last time I had Pepe's at Mohegan (long ago) it was undercooked.

I'm not a big fan of the outside. I like the inside. It's also the biggest upgrade on campus compared to what we had before. Agree with @superjohn that HE should have mandated that it be bigger.

I had Pepe's at Mohegan Sun on Monday. Only NH pizza I've had in a decade or more. It was quite good this time. I know it can be rather variable, but this time it lived up to the name.

I graduated in 88 as well. While I appreciate the upgrades on a lot of buildings and dorms, some of the character of campus is gone. The area across from Gampel, new Business School, Student Rec Center and all the others is too dense. There used to be a lot more open space, a lot more grass...

House of Guinness. Netflix. Huge cast, no big stars. A fictionalized telling of the history of the Guinness family starting with the death of Benjamin Guinness, who made it a a major brewery and brought the family wealth. This has a lot going on, politics, violence, sex, love, betrayals...

This week wasn't quite as crazy as last week, aside from the Giants' win. I am not sure when we will see the better teams start to separate themselves. There are a handful of bad teams, and then a bunch of teams that are pretty competitive with each other. Historically, some of those teams...

They can't run block at all. I don't care who the back is. Peak Emmitt Smith isn't getting anything when he's hit 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage every play. They have faced among the highest 8 man box defenses in the NFL (3rd, it was first before this week). If Maye keeps wrecking...

It doesn't matter. He's basketball fast. Straight line speed doesn't really matter. I do think he's going to foul a lot though. His quickness and jumping means that for a lot of SFs, the play is to take him inside and run him over. If he was guarding SGs more often he'd be in a better...

I think Hand got an and one against him. Tough shot, bumped Ross twice and got the foul. But yes, Ross was otherwise excellent at slowing him down.

There was so much uncalled contact. Very physical game. One really horrible travel call when our player got shoved right in front of me. It was funny as the guy in front of me must have yelled something I can't type here and the little blonde girl in front of him, maybe 7 years old, turned...

I don't know but it isn't new. They had 20 games in 2024, all Basketball Hall of Fame branded in some way. People just don't like Springfield perhaps? https://newsroom.mohegansun.com/2024/09/05/naismith-basketball-hall-of-fame-2024-college-basketball-event-tickets-go-on-sale/
