Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2900629, member: 1646"] 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. [/QUOTE]
