‘Big Red’ Tom Emery is a Connecticut celebrity, but to him, he’s 'just a fan'

I'm just waiting for temery to have his Tony Stark moment

I'm still wondering why there is higher quality footage of the Yeti than there is of Tom.

The real question is when Mau does this does he say.

"Mau-Conn-Fan"
"Ma-UConn-Fan"
"Em-Ay UConn Fan"
"Massachusetts UConn Fan"
"Mau"

If you say anything but the last one do people just stare at you blanky? On the other hand if you say to a non-yarder "Hi I'm Mau." That has to be a little awkward.

It took me far longer than I care to admit before I even considered the fact or logic of his handle being MA UConn fan and not Mau

Tom,
It was fun watching you get the notoriety! I had my Grandsons at the game (they are (were) big BC fans). Now they are teaching their friends the UCONN cheer. Of course when I brought my wife back to the hotel room what do we see over our bed - yes!! Big Red- see attached. Thanks for all you do

Oh man, love that picture! They should make those available as prints - I'd totally pick one up!

It's one of the joys of my life to know big red and participate on his UConn fan forum.

Wait, people still don't know that Big Red is Tom Emery is temery?

Big Red, thanks for everything you do both at the games and on this board!

Hear Hear!
