Barstool Court Storm

I see a lot of "oldest guy in the club" potential with these guys.
 
Are we positive this wasn’t all staged?

Getting arrested certainly wasn’t staged, or at least supposed to be part of the plan. They’ve been doing this Storm Chasers bit this time of year for a couple years now. As far as I know, this is just the first stop where they’ve ran into issues. It’s clear the students at the game for the most part were excited to have them there.
 
Man students today are so soft. You have to storm a court to have fun and celebrate a win?? Really

What about get black out wasted in celebration of the win. Having a block party in the street outside gampel that shuts down the street?? No instead you cry and complain the only way to have fun is a court storm like some sort of pansies

UConn is a blue blood; the most dominant basketball school in the past 20 years. Schools of that status don't court storm they are above it and should be. Act like you been there. Theres other ways to celebrate and have a ton more fun than storming the court.

Holding last night's stuff aside, UConn police are actually not that bad in terms of how far they'll take things legally. One study even went as far as to call it the most weed-friendly campus in the country. The Town of Mansfield is a bunch of complaining hillbillies and they constantly call the police, so the police have had no choice but to shut parties down in recent years. It really does suck for the current students. I have some younger cousins who are still there and it's night and day from even like 5 years ago.

I saw the change in real time (2013-2017). My freshman year was incredible; virtually anyone could walk down Hunting Lodge or get into Carriage and find a good party. I still have great memories of walking the “trail” (most here know the traditional name) during final four weekend to a day drink in Celeron before the game. Sophomore year, less so. It helped to know someone to get by the cops. Junior year (15-16) was bad. Only went to a handful of parties, even though I knew a good amount of people by then. Senior year was virtually nonexistent. Did far more drinking at the bars or in friends’ apartments than I was anticipating. I pity the students stuck with whatever this has evolved into now.

I don't have a problem with the students storming the court, but it shouldn't be coerced by non-students unaffiliated with the school or program. Nor by 40 year old adolescents who won't face any real consequences.

If they were really in tune with the historic UConn culture, they'd have rocked it old school and set a mattress and sofa on fire in The Jungle quad.

This thread is a byproduct of winning. There is not enough to complain about, so a thread is started about something pretty trivial.

I started in '03-'04, and it got worse every year. It was fairly crazy when I started and was pretty locked down by the time I left.

Buddy if you think it was bad then, then you have no idea what it’s like now. Spring weekend 2011-2015 it was like we were in a police state. Had to give student IDs to visit a friends dorm. Most people just left campus

Yeah, my last year on campus was 2009 and they had just begun that "no non-students allowed on campus" business
 
I guess I'm an old fuddy duddy but I have no problem with an "organic" court storming if you beat a number 1 team or whatever but having some morons show up to start trouble wearing heavy yellow condoms seems contrived, ridiculous and lame.

Not sure how if you actually read what I wrote your conclusion was "no fun allowed," but cheers may you live a 100 years.

I was at ECSU at the time and we all got an email saying any car with an ECSU parking pass would be impounded.

I’m pretty sure that didn’t actually happen though. That restriction had nothing to do with invited guests/fellow college students and everything to do with riffraff with literally no business on campus other than to cause trouble and endanger people’s safety. See: the people stabbed Jasper Howard outside of the homecoming dance.
