LOL! Hey Chuck, I thought we didn't belong on the same floor as Michigan State?

 

[Davidm]

I just knew eventually he would be on the bandwagon, just not sure how I feel about it.

Pretty sure I won't let go of the #duckkChuck mentality.

 

[sportsart]

He'll always be a turd.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

I thought this was about Okwandu.

 

[RichZ]

When I saw the headline, I was expecting Okwandu.

Who cares what the ANALysts say. I saw Dougie G sometime between 3-4am in the lobby and have him a man hug and thanked him for picking UConn. He was a first class guy. Said what was it and he just said, "You have the better guards."

I assume he just meant better than UK and none of the other 5 teams we played.

Chuck was the coolest dude anywhere last couple nights. Stayed out late every night, pounding, was buying for anyone around. Seems like he loved it.

that was turrible. He is no Big Red

Okay I edited it to point out its Barkley. Surprised hes celebrating, he had us losing every round.

Charles is silly and a good guy. Forgiven.

I am pretty sure this happened before the championship but after the Florida game. Someone posted that they saw this happen live 2 days ago.

 

[Scot-e]

I talked to him for a while- he was very cool and wished us luck before the game. After he hung out till 2am drinking with everyone. Not abad guy just has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to college basketball.

 

[husky91]

I think it was both. I saw him definitely do this last night and talked to a few people who partied with him Sat after Florida game and said he was buying trays of Patron shots constantly. He set up his private party area in the bar area of the restaurant off of main hotel bar. Saturday I think Kerr was in there and so was Rothstein and Grant Hill.

I've met Barkley before. He's a very nice, genuine guy.

I was just about to say the same thing.. anybody who has ever met him in person goes on and on about how nice of a guy he is.. very engaging, even with "average Joe"

 

[CAHUSKY]

It was both Saturday and Monday. Chuck was holding court in the Hyatt lobby and was very generous.

 

[FluxTZ]

I was 5 feet away from Chuck when he said the following last night: "I'm so glad this fv cking sh it is over so now I can go back to my fv cking life."

True story. I died laughing.

 

[husky91]

What is he talking about? He has NBA for the next 2 months with playoffs that will be 3-4 nights/week.

When was chuck there last night? I saw rip and Ray and el-Amin but didn't see Barkley at the party last night. Was this before the presentation?

 

[UConn17]

classic

He came in about 20 minutes before the reception and was upstairs in the restaurant on the side of the hotel bar until it closed. Same place he was on Saturday.

 

[ColoradoUCFan]

Barkley spent some time chatting up with Carmen Velasquez at the bar. I was like there's Bazz's mom. Then I was like there's Charles Barkley. Then I was like they're having a drink together. Totally cool moment at the party.

 

[Husky Dogma]

Chuck is awesome. He was so key for the Mojo. I always feared that he'd pick us, thankfully he didn't.

He's a much better NBA analyst, one of the best. He certainly improved over last year's awful performance at the NCAA Tourney.

I like having the TNT guys, though....and nothing beats hearing Hooker Biter (aka Marv Albert) scream "yes" in a college game

 

[Kitaman]

He probably lost a bet.
