I think he and the whole act UConn does with ingame entertainment blows.

I'm crazier than you at Gample AND XL. You blow.

 

[XLCenterFan]

My son said he does a great job and doesn't get paid enough.

This place will complain about everything. Literally. SMH.

He got a raise when we went back to the BE...a well-deserved raise.

Random question I'll throw into this thread because it's somewhat along the same lines: is Big Red still going to games? We had one authentic UCONN chant last night, but I couldn't find him in the crowd.

Last time I saw him he had an oxygen tank with him. Hope he's OK. Usually they put him on the screen when he's doing his thing but they did not last night...they did at the Georgetown game. At some point, someone's going to have to take that job. Who wants it?

what ever happened to the A-10 style gattling gun that used to launch about 50 t-shirts simultaneously?

Preach. That would be an excellent engineering class project. What are we doing!?

I've heard those things have caused injuries and insurance companies don't want them at games. No lie.

Guilty as charged.

I recommended that didn't happen. Implored otherwise. But I guess they tried? And so did I. I would've hung you 7 times already but it seems the powers that be don't think you have even a thimble full of mojo in you.

The problem wasn’t the hanging. The problem was that you didn’t follow the sentence. When you try to cheat the mojo, the mojo cheats you.

I love everything about this exchange!

Now that’s a quality capstone

Big Red was definitely there last night, in section 110 or maybe 109. There was one of his patented “U-C-O-N-N” chants. He actually looked ready for one earlier (I forget when), but it didn’t seem like the crowd was calling for it. I honestly think some of the fanbase is adjusting to us being awesome again.

We should try an in-game DJ. We could call him Joey.

Joey needs a sidekick.

I liked his response. That's respect.

Love you brother. Respect!

The technology already exists. They used to bring this contraption out at XL games during the marquee Old Big East games (Syracuse, etc)

@gampelcrazies & @XLCenterFan are brothers from a different mother.

I can take him or leave him, but bring back the wave. Bring back the gigantic flag running laps on the court during a timeout. Just don’t try to get us to sing Taylor Swift songs like PeeCee

They were running the flags around during the cupcake games. Maybe someone forgot to bring them last night.

DJ Joey Franchise was even cheesier than Connor. We've improved our cheese game in the las 12 years

 

[UConnSwag11]

I don’t care about Connor. He’s fine and doing his job.

I care more that UConn can’t get it’s pre-game fire cannons to work correctly and the student body has no clue what they’re doing. It’s sloppy.

These kids want t shirts - give the crowd a massive amount of t shirts.

They wouldn’t wear the shirts

Just spit balling here. Instead of a hanging this year can we do a some kind boneyard fan duel? Maybe some kind of Fandom contest and the winner picks a charity to donate to in the Yards name?

 

[krinklecut]

What happened to every student with season tix getting the same shirt? I remember the one with Jim Calhoun’s face on it from 2010. Lost mine somewhere along the way.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

It shouldnt be but it was necessary for me to do last march against Nova at BET at MSG. I was disgusted by the fact I had to implore my (Uconn ticket) section to stand, and then half of them didnt and then yelled at me for imploring them. Times have changed I guess.

We need better millennial entertainment and screw our teams traditions. I was VERY disappointed in UConn MSG behavior in March. Nova had better turnout, louder, and more engaged.

that's a lot of imploring.

that, and moar t-shirt cannons, is all i got.

I hope Conor doesn’t pay attention to the cranky bozos on this board. He does an excellent job in his role and represents the university well. I literally have no idea what possible issue you could have with him that warrants some of the reactions in this thread. I’ve probably witnessed 50+ games in my life with Conor as the host between UConn and the Yard Goats and he does great. Some of the promos are corny, but that’s not remotely Conor’s fault. He has some funny quips too.

Any Conor haters can go pound sand. Why don’t you go tell it to his face rather than trash him on a message board. I’ve never once heard anyone complain about him in person.

I have no issues with him as a person but anytime he wants to come to my seats I’ll gladly tell him how much I hate UConn’s in game entertainment.
