Everything cool with Big Red?

[Son of Robert]

I sincerely hope everything is OK, and I apologize if I should be minding my business, but I've been to the early season XL games and we are missing our man in the stands. Only one guy can lead that famous U C O N N cheer which gets the whole place rockin! Hope to see you big fella.

By chance, I've ridden the train to and from NYC for the Big East Tourney with Big Red back in the 80's and had Gampel season tickets next to Big Red. He was always a good guy and loved that my young son (at the time) was attending games.

Hope he is ok and back in the stands soon.

Maybe @8893 and Big Red are the same person.

I’ve heard that he is prospering in some Internet venture. Good for him, I say

 

[BlueMAB]

Maybe @temery can tell us the last time he visited the site.

 

[KembaKek]

He was at the UNCW game and did the chant once. He usually only does it for significant games, or a hype scenario like a big block,3 pointer, then TO for the other team.

I'm thinking there's a connection to the Phil Knight Book Promotion as well. 8893 got too close. He's either working with Big Red or he's actually Big Red. Anyways, they/he got too close. Had to go underground. For the good of the Huskies.

God, I hope not. I have the SIL from hell heading there now, nothing is safe there for the next week.

Man, some days it really pays to be one of the old timers I guess.

They're not

Big Red is still a big fan and will still be cheering. There just no nee at the point on the games they had at home. The reason for the post is that I will never put down a team who is getting beat badly when I know that they (visiting teams) are trying there best. But there are times when out of respect for what the Huskies accomplish we should honor their hard work so as fans we do the U-C-O-N-N, UCONN UCONN UCONN so I just hope that the cheer stays alive for as long as I can

Need to designate an heir apparent for when (in many, many years!) you can't go to games any more. Ideally another large, red-haired superfan. Or maybe blue/white guy?

What happened to 8893? Did Phil Knight's book peddling goons get to him?

We should create a thread about that, see if he shows.

 

[RayRay]

I hope he’s ok. I saw him recently at the 2nd game of the season against Boston U, seated a couple seats away, and he was using oxygen.

 

[KembaSlice]

Big Red is alive and well and has even posted in this thread

Red cannot be bothered with cupcake games that we win by 25.
