Chiep retires (maybe)

[Chiep]

Kenny11 got it just before the poll got deleted.

I just started those threads to point out how some people take this stuff way too serious. I was born and raised in Stamford. Graduated UConn in 85. We were the door mats of the old Big East back then) but they’ll never be better hoops than that). I was hooked. What Calhoun did was nothing short of miraculous. For those 20+ years I loved it. “The Shot”. Insane!

Also in that time frame, I got married, two daughters (one learning disabled), divorced, parents passed... the things that make up life. I’m now out in Colorado and remarried. Life is good.

I can’t follow the Huskies like I’d want to. Life’s responsibilities takes priority. When I look to a source for info like the Boneyard I’m hoping to find a little something. But threads devolve into “KO sucks”, “ Akok is 6’10” - no he’s not he’s 6’11”, or being overly critical of teenage kids. Who gives a crap? Are you a fan or not? Follow them through thick or thin. Have fun watching them learn and develop. I know I will. This Hurley ride is going to be awesome.

So yeah, someone implying “casual fans” are inferior pisses me off. Meanwhile talking themselves up like they’re part of the coaching staff. Gimme a break. I’m a casual fan and damn proud of it. And I know my priorities.

Anyway. Thanks Kenny for getting it.

ps. I really couldn’t give a DAM about how many likes or views I get. Make sure buy a shirt to help our fellow boneyarders daughter if you haven’t already. They make great stocking stuffers.

Akok is 6'9".

 

[Chiep]

Akok is 6'9".

1000 likes. Your L/M ratio is epic. That is if this kinda info is how you measure success.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Akok is 6'9".

[Chiep]

Hoo-rah!

 

[Austin316]

No he's not.

Akok is 8’4”... ya bunch of idiots. Read a book for once.

 

[uchusky32]

So Chiep is not real? Wow, what a casual imposter.

 

[Austin316]

So Chiep is not real? Wow, what a casual imposter.

Let Chiep retire in peace.

 

[Purple Stein]

So Chiep is not real? Wow, what a casual imposter.

Probably doesn’t even know a levee from a dam.

 

[Fishy]

No he's not.

You're wrong and I don't care if it takes me 23 more pages to prove it.

 

[uchusky32]

Probably doesn’t even know a levee from a dam.

Or an urinal from a toilet!

 

[superjohn]

No he's not.

Your neighbor blows.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Yeah but is CV better than Craig Austrie?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Akok is 6'9".

Not in New Balance socks

 

[Robertelamin]

Any good pizza out there @Chiep?

 

[uchusky32]

Not in New Balance socks

Yes, if you are using the mausurement method.

 

[superjohn]

Yes, if you are using the mausurement method.

Akok is like an inch taller than Kevin Pangos.

 

[8893]

Chiepy, we hardly knew ye.

I still thought you were @August_West.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Yes, if you are using the mausurement method.

You’re thinking of his Nike sliding scale.

 

[UconnU]

Isn’t it kind of redundant to spoof Chief as Cheif himself is kind of a spoof of other basketball forum insiders?

 

[CL82]

So if Chiep is retiring, is it only from the basketball board? I was looking forward to
"View from the Chiep Seats" over on the football board.

 

[uconngb]

Akok is like an inch taller than Kevin Pangos.

is he taller than Kasongo??

 

[Madmannsucks]

Cheipen ain't easy. That's for sure.

 

[temery]

No he's not.

202 cm. Not a cm taller.

 

[Ewekon]

202 cm. Not a cm taller.

And not a dime back

 

[uchusky32]

Chiep was great for about 20 minutes!

 

[Madmannsucks]

Meh. Beau Jo’s is touted as Colorado style pizza. Like a big pile off dough with a pizza tossed on it at the last minute. And you’re supposed dip the crust in honey. Ugh! Gag me with a chief!

Chiep grew up on Colony. There’s a small chain called Proto’s out here supposedly founded by an ex-New Haven pizza guy. It’s not bad.

In Denver, there is a place called Papou's. The owner went to Aquinas in NB. He is from Southington, and his dad owned Sax Pizza also in Southington. Real Connecticut style pizza. Greek.
