Faces in the Gampel Crowd?

[UConnCat]

Jim Fuller tweeted "add Lorin Dixon to the former UConn players who were at Gampel" for tonight's game. Who were the others?

Jim also tweeted that recruit Gabby Williams stuck around on her unofficial visit to watch the Vandy game. Nice.

From Jim Fuller's blog:

Among those in attendance was highly-touted junior guard Gabby Williams out of Reed High in Sparks, Nev. who has been on an unofficial visit. When last I saw her, she was leaving the locker room with the UConn players and seemed to be having the time of her life.
Although she has yet to be offered a scholarship,. it is pretty clear that UConn is very high on Williams. Assistant coach Shea Ralph went to see her play in January but unfortunately she suffered a season-ending torn ACL in a game the following day.
She has a long road back before she can get back on the court and on in the high jump pit as Williams is one of the nation's best high jumpers who finished fifth in the event at the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials.

Gabby and Hayes were there?

But not Gabby Hayes.

Although Hayes can be gabby and post ACL surgery Gabby was in a haze.

 

[Waquoit]

Actually, I was joshing Ice. Wouldn't have used the word "tarnation" otherwise, one of Gabby's favorites. I might be older than Gabby.

ICE I didn't think you were old enough to know who Gabby Hayes was. Are you over 50 like me?

Is there anyone in here under 50?

 

[connboy77]

Is there anyone in here under 50?

Probably a handful at most. The over sixty crowd rules!

 

[cohenzone]

Dag burnit, you are right, cohenzone.

I am NOT older than Gabby. I think.

 

[rocky rococo]

Many of us were under 50 back when the announcer would say, "Berrruuuuuuuuuuuubeeee!" But the UConn athletic department marketing staff decided we were immortal and that they didn't need to market the team to younger generations.

46, and I plan to go into a holding pattern at 49 .....

No AARP for me !!

and parodied in Mel Brooks "Blazing Saddles" by a purveyor of "authentic western
gibberish".

You cannot escape AARP. They track you down from the moment you turn 50. And if they don't get you right away, they keep at it, knowing that eventually they will wear you down as you become tired. ....

All gone - Roy, Dale, Pat Brady, Gabby, Trigger, and unfortunately, Nellybelle also.

Happy Trails to You.
