FYI at the first Gameday against Pitt what they did was give everyone at Gameday a numbered wristband to get back in line numerically a few hours before the game. I don't believe they announced that but I gotta believe they would do the same this year to reward the die-hards. It was hectic getting everyone in line but actually worked out pretty well

This. I remember that night well. It was cold as shit and they let everyone come inside Gampel the night before and Digger/Bilas/Reece all did a Q&A session with everyone for a little while. It was really an awesome experience. They gave us our wristbands that night and then we got to go in first for Gameday the next morning.

If I remember correctly - wasn't that the first Gameday for basketball they ever did? Love being first.

Weak. We were camped out 3 days before the Pitt gameday until they made us go home because it was below zero with the wind chill. Guess the kids really are smarter these days

+1 ... for 05' game day Gample was surrounded by tents ... and it was a BLIZZARD that day. Those of us that fought the mob for season tickets made the most of it. Game day at Storrs looked awkward just saying. Regardless thanks to all those students currently at UConn bringing the value of my degree up.

I would like to add .. things I saw and took pride in during my time in Storrs.. Men's and Women's same year National Championships ... National Championship Fires and Parties ....first ever college basketball game day ... Calhoun career win 700 ... UConn football's first game at the Rent .. Uconn's football's first Big East game at Boston College (unfortunately) .... and o yea spring weekend.

This is the exact opposite of what happened. They allowed us to line up at Gampel at 2 pm today, so we all lined up after gameday at the co-op across the street. Then at 1:55 every made a mad dash across the street and only one group that camped out got in the front from what I could see. I'm now in my apartment having gotten to Gampel at 6:30 yesterday and I'm going to be sitting in the upper deck tonight. At least I don't have to stand in the cold anymore today.

That sucks. People should show some respect.

Yeah it was a gigantic clusterfuck. I ended up getting 4th row. So many people from the South entrance crossed over and took seats on the North side because they werent consistent with letting people in from both sides, else I probs woulda gotten 2nd row. Still cant complain at all, was a fantastic time.

"Yeah it was a gigantic clusterI have a small penis." Why do you feel it necessary to inform THE BONEYARD YEAAA that you have a small penis?
