Funniest/weirdest UConn fan story?

That show got pretty bad near the end but Drama was hilarious.

Season 8 was dumb for sure.

But the show on the whole is gold, and yeah Drama was my favorite. Even my wife who thinks a show like entourage is a scourge on society (because of the gratuitous T and A) would watch with me because Drama is the man.

Started out loving the show but by the end Drama and Ari (and his assistant) were the only things that made the show watchable.

Never liked Vince.

Yep, pretty much. The movie might be the worst thing ever though.

Pretty much all the characters were pretty terrible (save for Ari and Drama) but somehow it worked.

Turtle and E were insufferable characters too.

Billy Walsh was a character I really really liked.




The Joshua tree mushroom episode with Eric Roberts transcends the show itself into (in my mind) a top 50 all time TV episode. The rest of the series was entertaining but never touched that.
 
All I remember from Entourage is Ari Gold being the man and Eric's girlfriend was really hot.
 
Funny / Awesome:
For the 2011 NC I had a bad few months including the loss of a parent. When UConn beat Kentucky my wife told me I should try to get there. I booked a ticket on United with points and called a few friends whom I knew were there. One guy had an extra hotel room booked, and had bought a few bad seats from Kentucky fans just in case someone (like me) needed them.

I looked at the seats on line, and I'm not sure I would've been able to see the court without optical support. I was supposed to sit by myself so I was in no hurry to get to my seat. I saw a few friends I knew in the high roller seats down by the floor. I was able to get down to talk to them because the ticket guy chased after someone that tried to move down by jumping the seats. Next thing you know the game has started and there are three empty seats where I was located. I was right there with players' family, and important alums. The only part that sucked was I couldn't use the bathroom because they were checking tickets to get into the front area and I didn't want to admit to my new important neighbors that I needed their ticket to get back down because I didn't belong there.

Funny / Drunken / maybe mean:
I went to a UConn v. SJU game with a few friends in the mid 90s. We bought single tickets within a row or so of each other. One of my friends got into it with an SJU fan (alum?) with acid wash jeans (not in fashion in the mid 90s) and a tight sweatshirt. He started yelling at my friend wearing UConn gear about being in enemy territory. My friend said something like "I must be in a sewer then, because you look like a sewer worker" (I would not knock someone's manual labor now, but at the time it was humorous). The guy got up to escalate the situation at which time most of our section started yelling "sewer worker" at him. He realized UConn took over MSG and left.

Sloan was underutilized imo.

Can't believe your wife doesn't appreciate gratuitous T&A but believes in Aliens. smh

I love gratuitous T&A myself. And Ari Gold was one of the funniest characters on television.

As were her . She's still a knockout at 42. Aging better than most people in hollywood. Her, Salma Hayek, and Phoebe Cates are on the top of my 'wish I could marry' list. Preferably mormon-style if given the choice.

Wrong Sloan.

Or did I miss the joke?
 
I was maybe a sophomore or junior in high school when UConn beat USF in the snow on a field goal by Teggart. I thought everyone would rush the field, as USF was ranked, so i jumped onto the field and started sprinting towards the 50 where the team was gathered. Turned out that no one else got onto the field, so I was just running out there by myself. Helped to hoist up Dave Teggart as a 15 or 16 year old kid and had a blast.

Another one was I was at Gampel to watch the 2011 championship game. I'd broken my pelvis in a car accident maybe 3 weeks earlier tops. I really should not have been out at all, and I was still in high school. Anyways, some friends and I drank way too much tequila and when the team won I ended up breakdancing with my crutches at center court with a crowd around me clapping. My pelvis felt no pain that night. I continued to crutch from Gampel to Carriage to party.

She's unbelievably attractive, I love your list. You can throw Jennifer Beals on there as well, Leighton Meester and Marion Cotillard on too.

You certainly have a type. From three different countries too. I agree with your type... and other types too.

No need to pigeonhole yourself, chuck my boy. Sound strategy.
 
This morning, I was walking into work in the heart of midtown Atlanta and saw someone wearing a UConn sweater. I said “Go Huskies!”

This person looks me dead in the eyes, says nothing and keeps walking.

Very #onbrand.

Well done.

I met up with a Boneyarder to purchase some gear that belonged to Stanley Robinson. Stanley has always been in my favorite top 3 Huskies of all time. It included his home and away warm ups plus gear from the Derby Classic. Down the road, I find out that unbeknownst to the Yarder who sold me the gear, Stanley had all these possessions stolen from him. I reached out to him so I could send the gear back to UCONN or someone who would get him these warm-ups and I end up getting blocked on social media by my favorite Husky.

It was from a storage unit that Stanley didn't realize whoever was paying his bills stopped paying. The BYer who bought it has his 1000 point ball along with his Huffman jersey and other high school and UConn memorabilia he's been searching for till this day

Is he really your father? He definitely says some interesting stuff lol

EDIT: And to be clear, I wasn't bringing him up because of the story content, but because he has mentioned that he lived in Ansonia.
Expand ...

Him saying he lived in Ansonia is a really weird ass thing to say. Unless he’s got some secret ansonia life.

And yes I am the son and yes I’ve heard his cess pool notoriety. Just like Chief, I guess I wouldn’t want to ruin the mystique.

That being said, Gonna go hit him up for some powder....

Oh man... so many questions. So many, but I don't want to ruin your father for you.
