First day of practice wagering...

[Fishy]

1) First the Kenyans and now the Ghanaians. Even the really, really tall guys can fly.

2) I like we're bringing in another front court player, but I prefer that our centers be taller than I am. Here is a more accurate bit from George Washington's website. (Edit - Was on the roster last year in the second semester?) Looks like a solid practice player.

3) With the Husky Run wagering out of the and the 'who gained 27 pounds of muscle in the offseason' articles still a few days away, we move to the second rite of October...who throws up during the first practice.

I was torn between Hamilton and Lubin, but I think I'm going with the Californian.

 

[UConn17]

Ill put my money on Lubin over Hamilton for first to throw up

 

[superjohn]

Without a doubt Lubin.

 

[Fishy]

Lubin is the obvious choice, but the tough ones are rarely the ones to give out - the skinny ones tend to go first.

Of course, it's been a few years since we've anyone who wasn't skinny, so perhaps the recent results are skewed.

I believe Facey was last year's winner.

You know what autumn tradition I really miss? When we'd play some club team like Marathon Oil and "only" win by 15 pts and Calhoun would overact his disappointment in the post game quotes. "We're not anywhere close to where we need to be", "This team has a lot of work to do", etc.

And then say something Pat Linehan is about the only one playing well and he might be taking minutes from the Boatshow.

 

[Fishy]

And then name Dan Cyrulik starter for the 27th straight year.

 

[CL82]

In the Husky Run someone pointed out Purvis finished tied for ninth and that made him a good dark horse for 1st to puke. Wasn't it the box out drill that triggered the barfing under Calhoun? The Rock's size might just give him an advantage.

 

[Deepster]

I'm taking a sleeper in the First Practice Hurl wager.
Sam Cassell Jr. 6'4", 180 and he puts up 25:38 in the run? That's 5 minutes slower than KO and only 8 seconds better than Phil Nolan who is 6'10" and threw on 25 lbs this summer.
I'm betting on KO to take the guy who's Dad played in the NBA and make an example of him on Day 1.

 

[David 76]

Have to remember it was a wet day. Amida just may be a mudder.

He is going to be a mudder f'er on the defensive end this year, i know that much.

First choice would be Lubin but I try not to bet chalk. My second choice was Hamilton but changed my mind.
I'm going for Sam Jr. to be the first to decorate his sneakers with the contents of his stomach.

And then freescooter comes out of his annual hibernation to extoll the 'virtues' of this years team.

 

[intlzncster]

No one will puke this year. Book it.

 

[CTBasketball]

Sam Cassell will ouke.

 

[ctchamps]

I'm wagering that when the first day of practice arrives I'm going to be crawling out of my skin waiting until the first game begins. Of course I'm already at that point.

I don't know who will be first to heave but I hope it doesn't project to be in the Roscoe range.

 

[David 76]

Lubin

 

[Thirty Three]

Antric Klaiber.

We all know why he is in hiding.

 

[RichZ]

This team is all about unity. They will have a communal puke.

“@AmoreCourant: Everybody got through practice in good shape, vets were impressed by newcomers determination #uconn”

 

[tcf15]

“@NeillOstrout: FWIW (next to nothing) the first team at the end of practice was Boatright, Calhoun, Samuel, Facey, Nolan.”

“@NeillOstrout: With the second team Purvis, Cassell, Hamilton, Lubin, Brimah.”

The upper class man at each position.

 

[intlzncster]

Any word on regurgitation? I want to know if my "no one will puke this year" held up.
