Funniest/weirdest UConn fan story?

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....

Tell him to come back! He’s a legend.
 
The UConn women were playing in the National Championship. If they won they'd finish the season undefeated. The day before the game I told my neighbors on both sides of my property that if the women won I was going to streak around my backyard, so don't call the police. Well, the women won, and I headed for the back door wearing nothing but sneakers. As an added feature I had a pair of 5 minute sparklers - the really long, thick ones. I lit them up, held them high and started doing laps, cheering all the way. I saw the silhouette of one of my neighbors in the window of her deck slider, flicking her patio lights on and off. I continued my journey, and then happened to look down. The sparklers were so bright it was like daylight, and I was on full display. I cut across the lawn and ended my jaunt hurriedly.

The next day I got home from work and noticed that I had a message on my answering machine. I played the message, which turned out to be from my neighbor Sue - the one in the window. It simply said "Last night was was the most amazing thing that I've ever seen!"

Go Huskies.
 
20 years ago uconnhenry offered me a ticket to a game at the civic center. We were to meet near the ticket booth.

When I got there I saw a guy standing around and asked if he was Henry. He said yes, I introduced myself. We were early, so I offered to buy him dinner.

After dinner we headed for the gate, and I asked him for my ticket.

Wrong Henry.

Apparently I had my first blind date with a 50 year old man.

Two years ago-- shortly after the season ended and the Enoch, Durham, Jackson transfers were announced-- I'm sitting in the Owl Shop with a few friends. It's early on a Sunday, a little after noon. The place is almost empty. We're talking about how terrible of a season it was and how concerning the transfers are. My buddy, a passionate alumnus, is killing KO. He's really getting fired up and letting him have it. This goes on for about 15 minutes before I notice out of the corner of my eye a man who had been sitting with his back to us gets up from his chair and starts walking towards the front of the bar. I look over and it's friggin Kevin Ollie. He had been sitting 15-20 feet away from us in silence while my buddy completely trashed him. He absolutely had to have heard every word we said.

He stayed there for a few more hours. A big crew of mostly younger people came in and hung out with him. No one I recognized. He was with cuddled up with some girl most of the time. We showed some respect and cut out the UConn/KO talk for the rest of our visit.

This explains a lot. Thank you for sharing.

It's 2007 and a bunch of us are in Boston watching UConn/Gonzaga at the Garden or whatever it was called then. 1st half just ended, it was good, entertaining bball. We've all been drinking so of course we and half the arena head to the bathroom. The room, if memory serves had a long curved wall with a bunch of urinals. I take one, others in our group set up shop too, including @Robertelamin. In walks a couple more of our crew who happen to see him, and they yell out "BOBBY!!!", which of course is echoed by half the drunk guys taking a piss, until the whole bathroom is yelling "BOBBY!!!" in near unison. Stupid but hilarious at the time. Still the best way to greet @Robertelamin when you see him to this day.

I've met some of the biggest jerks here, and each was a really nice guy in person. I'm not, but many don't even come close to living up to their internet persona.

Love the Owl Shop. I've seen a lot of "known" people in there over the years. Wifey always calls me out when I stop there cause once you enter your entire wardrobe becomes cigar scented

No idea why she didn't have a better career. Same for Phoebe Cates who is about the same age.

Phoebe Cates chose to step away. Didn't like the industry/spotlight. Got married relatively young and had kids. Wanted family life instead.

All the more reason to like her.

Haha - watch out for the junkies!

IMO, nothing beats NH pizza but people like John's.

I need a little more to go on! Just stay out of midtown.

Dos Caminos is reliable. Cool vibe.
 
March 27,1999 after the Ohio St semi final game in Tampa my buddies and I go back to the hotel bar and get absolutely hammered with Michigan St fans who were very cool. The next morning, me being a devoted Catholic wake up and decide to go to Mass while the others sleep. Hungover and probably still drunk I stumble into church and see the two nuns who Calhoun had befriended which I thought was pretty cool. But the weirdest part of the Mass was the usher who passed the basket to collect $. He had a name tag and honest to God his name was James Calhoun. When I saw that I knew it was in the stars that we would win.

Well I'm not very well traveling back up to New haven now am I? Haha

John's will have to do.

Two places.

Restaurant in Soho. Drinks after.

Medium spend.

Casual to semi casual.

Any type. Ethnic food always a plus. But no problem if not.
 
Within those parameters (some stretching on geography):
Shuka and Pera for Mediterranean
Felix for French
Uncle Boons for Thai
Khe-Yo for Laotian

I like Rubirosa but you just ate pizza. They do have other stuff.

A million bars. Depends on what you want. Cocktails? More divey?
