OT: CCSU In NEC Tourney

[Get a Job]

I have an extra ticket if anyone needs one. Half court 5 or 6 rows up, on the aisle.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

My route to the game will likely be directly via I-84 E from Danbury as I want to avoid the Merritt after work.

Any quick take-out dinner spots along the way worth recommending?

Capital Lunch makes great chili dogs. A New Britain legend but I’m not sure if it has the same owners. Still plenty of great Polish food on Broad St

Pepe's in Waterbury. Right off I-84. Although I've never had their pizza there so I can't comment on the quality.

It’s not New Haven but it’s still very good.

Bunch of newer spots have opened up along Fenn Road in front of the Stop & Shop plaza.

Minas Carne in Danbury or Banana Brasil in Waterbury. Both quick Brazilian buffets. You can get food to go by the pound.

I enjoy Haven Hot Chicken, there’s one across from campus in the plaza by the busway in Newington. Order online, in and out.

Delicious... Although (ducking for cover) I've always found the "sauce" (it's not chili) to be insanely overrated.

Do you still have it? I have a friend that wants to come now but didn’t grab tickets in time

Still looking for 1 for tonight. Reached out too late for the ticket CCSU92 was offering. Thanks!

I am a UConn Huskies fan through and through and they are my favorite team in all of sports.

Tonight, we are all Central Connecticut State Univ. Blue Devils fans.

Be the first Connecticut team to get in the NCAAT, CCSU.

I have had a pie at Pepe's in Waterbury when I made the mistake of trying to go to Blackie's on a Friday when they are closed. The pizza was good. No complaints and I have had them from most CT locations in New Haven and east.

BTW, Blackie's is a good option as well for 3 dogs and a birch. A mile or so off I-84 at the Cheshire exit.

Alhough I am a bigger UConn fan, I always like to see CCSU win. One of my high school gym teachers was Gene Reilly who is in the CCSU Hall of Fame. He was a good basketball and baseball player who progressed to be a good high school coach.
He was also a former marine and a lunatic like Dan. Good dude. He was there about the same time as Howie but may have left the year before Howie played at what was then Central Connecticut State College.

Remember Willie Macala from Meriden who played with Howie there? Good big back in the day, great dude still is!

Truly sorry. My father in law called and asked for the ticket 2 minutes before your friend got back to me.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

It’s LOUD

 

[Ctedgeman]

I think this is gonna be a low scoring game. Damn near 7 mins in and it's still 4-2
