golden heart here, but in my mind im still 22Originally posted by @donalddoowop, I just added the poll.
A few years ago, I read on the Boneyard (BY) that many of the fans who come to the UConn home games are elderly. So, I wonder how many who post on the BY are elderly.
- A Golden Heart is anyone between the ages of 70 to 79.
- A Golden, Golden Heart is anyone 80 years old or older, of which I am one.
Those of us who lived through the golden years of movies, television, Doo Wop, Baseball, and Football. Those of us who don't get excited when reading a posting about a recruit who graduates in 2024, 2025 or later. Although we may be optimists, we will be thankful just to be alive then. I will feel blessed to get the opportunity to see Paige and Brady play together next season.
So, if you don't mind admitting it, how many of you fall in either category? We may have a lot of things in common.
I looked at the "sell out" crowd as the TV camera scanned the crowd Monday, I wondered how many of those ardent "mature" fans post on the Boneyard? Anyone have an idea?Originally posted by @donalddoowop, I just added the poll.

Happy birthday ballhawk. Many happy returns.This is a very apt topic because today is my birthday. I just turned 75. I feel a lot younger. I live in Berkeley and have been a cyclist since 1982. I love UConn womens' basketball and can't wait for the season to start each year. Thank you Nan for doing such a wonderful job moderating the site.
Me, too, Carnac. I haven't been to Gampel this season.I looked at the "sell out" crowd as the TV camera scanned the crowd Monday, I wondered how many of those ardent "mature" fans post on the Boneyard? Anyone have an idea?
Lol, I remember those days well. I was one of the guys lifting behind the curtain that used to surround the court during the games was me. Sorry.Just joined the Golden Heart club last month. Proud fan since 1979 when I attended my first game at the old Field House where there may have been 20 or 30 of us.
One of many activities and noises coming from the other side of the curtain. The leaky roof was more of a distraction.Lol, I remember those days well. I was one of the guys lifting behind the curtain that used to surround the court during the games was me. Sorry.
(Although I used to peek through and watch the game in between sets.)
Living in NE Tenn. must be hard to hear Rocky Top so often. My brother-in-law used to live in Mars Hill,NC about 20 miles north of Asheville. Being a huge minor league baseball fan your area was home to a multitude of teams in my favorite league - Appalachian Rookie Lg., long gone now with MLB contraction. I loved to visit Knoxville,Sevierville,Greeneville,Johnson City,Elizabethton,Kingsport and Bristol to sit in those small,intimate ballparks where a front row box seat cost five bucks. Between innings entertainment was always hilarious, but best of all you got to see young,hungry kids bust their butt hustling for a shot at The Show. Best bang for your buck ever.A very proud member of the Golden Hearts, 74 years and living well. Moved to Northeastern Tn. earlier this year. Doing the work to get our new home up to snuff has reinforced my bodies aversion to hard physical work, I can only take so much at a time. My sports passion has been the Lady Husky BB team for the past 30+ years as well as "Da Bears" as in the Chicago Bears football team. At least one of my 2 favorite teams is a perennial winner and powerhouse.
