Always a fan of the Richmond spiders, really hoped Cleveland would choose that over the guardians. Also Washington bullets

It's Samir's response here for me:

For UConn the '14 and '24 elite 8 games which in my mind are labeled the Niels Giffey dunk game and the 30-0 run game. For the random in-season right place right time games, they're all baseball: 6/6/1993: Mariners - Orioles brawl with 7 suspensions and a broken collarbone, nearly saw...

Just FYI regarding the top 30 - Ohio state was #30 at 12,181. In 22-23 Gampel maxed out at 10,167 and XL 15,564 averaging 12,865 with an even split. So a full season of sellouts would get UConn to 29th nationally. We averaged 11,446 and had 7/9 games sell out for Gampel and 5/8 at the XL center.

It's a direct line to the NIL apparatus at UConn too and still early enough to get in on helping shape whatever it becomes. Good time to give suggestions & ideas because they are looking for it.

He didn't but his father played a bit with MJ, albeit later in his career.

Grew up out of state and wasn't a basketball fan at all. Transferred to UConn in the fall of '04 and still avoided basketball fandom (the motor city bowl was a bigger deal to me than the '04 championship). If I had to pinpoint the switch it probably started with the 6OT syracuse game and was...

Rolled some of my championship winnings into another one this year.

Also in 324 +1. First sporting event in Boston since the '99 ALDS

83-61, 3's land tonight

Syracuse basketball making headlines in march.

I will turn off the TV from time to time if the other team goes on a run and ties/takes the lead. This is because obviously my watching the game is causing bad luck. I can check the score on my phone and when it turns around I have been cleansed of my bad luck and can watch it on TV again. Don't...

I'd watch supply/prices once the big allotment drops (i'm guessing once the regular season is finished and seeding is set?) The Stubhub app lets you see how many are available for each game. If they aren't getting picked up in the lead-up to the tournament (1,000+ or so available - right now...

It's a good point and something that I'm sure factors into coaches' decisions when there is an opening. You kind of have a feel if a school is a football or basketball school - and sports compete for resources, attention and influence within an athletic department. But everyone has a price and...

Sort of a trojan horse scenario to get us into the big 12?
