I'm not going to read four pages, but I'll ask this: Roll call: Who had a 77-74 window cling?

Still do.

I have been mostly lurking on this board forever. Not sure exactly when I started but alexd turned me on to it. I remember some early Boneyard gatherings, a Red Sox game where we got to see Pedro strike out about 20 guys. Some other things I remember from that game is Deepster's then wife knew more about baseball than anyone I have ever met. Also Fishy showed up late with his child bride wife.

I also remember an early Boneyard tailgate back at Memorial Stadium.

Special thanks to Tom for keeping this going over all these years.

Her heckling of sparrowhalk was as funny as it was brutal.

Her heckling of sparrowhalk was as funny as it was brutal.

Both of us were going at him pretty good. The kid was alone on the bench just asking for it. We made Dogdeacon very uncomfortable. My girlfriend...and future (and current wifey) almost left.

Boneyard inception?

"Sparrow hawk, your mom talked to the coach, you're going in!" Poor kid put his helmet on.

I felt sorry for the guy, but it was classic heckling. I don't think it's possible at the Rent (seats too far back?)

Currently on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. Met someone earlier this week at the Giants Causeway with a UConn sweatshirt. Very brief exchange and I think she got it as a gift.
Happy Birthday Boneyard. One more year and you can legally drink. TED'S!

 

[Deepster]

Predicted them. Rooted for KEA and Co.

The Yard never forgets, traitor.

Unfortunately, the heckling like that didn't stop when we got home....thus the former Mrs Deepster status.

Here-here

IIRC, JeffG, whose mom for some reason was frequently the subject of especially lurid Profanity Friday rants, also passed away.

JeffG, that guy could hit a golf ball. I was playing in a BYC with him (and Dogdeacon and Rabid I believe) and he drove a par 4.

I don't remember that drive, but do remember someone in the group (not me) was a good golfer. True story I had the bottle of Gold Bond Powder (I was late addition to Ball Bags 4) untouched for 10yrs in my medicine cabinet until about a year ago.

Also, I am not dead.

I never attended a BYC but the name "Gold Bond Ball Bags" is imprinted in my brain. It pops up every time I use the product.

I did. Still do.

Reports of your death were greatly exaggerate, evidently.

It was deserved.

Same here. Followed by "Those guys knew what they were talking about!", which is not a thought that I usually associate with the Boneyard.

I had a couple of those 77-74 window clings. One was on my car until about 2005 or so. They're still around somewhere, probably in a box of mementos. I was definitely here at the beginning (actually, I thought it was 1997). I remember innumerable arguments with "Z" about whether UConn or UMass had the better hoops program, and I feel like that stretched over two years or so (before we won the NC and put that debate to bed). Of course, I could be wrong. Happy anniversary, Boneyard!

Around the time of the Husky Blue & White newspaper transition to online BSing, Duzy Pies found some Boneyard predecessor while living in some other country. It was good. At some point mid/late 90s, McD's UConn Huskies Hoops arrived. It was good.

Skipped the 77-74 window thing, but still have the memories of being at the '99 Final Four, the game tickets/lanyards, National Flag Blue & White pom poms handed out at UConn's pep rallies, an extra Final Four t-shirt still never worn & in pristine condition, one of these 1999 Final Four Tropicana Four GTE seat cushions still in brand new condition, and some other stuff.
