OT: Guess I’m old

[NEforceUConn]

Just met a nice salesperson at Verizon. Was wearing one of my UConn masks and he goes, my favorite player ever is a Husky, but from way back.

I go Cliff Robertson - No;
Scott Burrell - No;
Wes Balasunia - No

He goes Ray Allen.

Wow I don’t consider Ray Ray that far past, but maybe I’m losing it.

Ps I’m in Greensboro NC

Almost 30 years since he got to campus. Yup I'm getting old.

Wow, that long? Well that was depressing math.

 

[geordi]

Just be grateful you didn't mention Walt Dropo or Worthy Patterson.

Cliff Robertson - Wikipedia ? Old.

Always fun to get random UConn fan interactions, but what non-uconn fan would ever list the 3 players you named as their favorite player of all time?

Also, a quarter of a century ago ain't exactly yesterday

Not even close on the Wes B spelling..But i get your point

Noticed you didn’t show him the correct spelling

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Bialisouknia is my guess without looking, and I doubt I'm right. It's way easier to recognize it was incorrect than to spell it, and it was mentioned politely.

Ray is already out of the league. There's young punks out there who don't even know who he is, nevermind that he went to UConn. Props to the Verizon worker - about how old was he/she?

Late 20s to early 30s.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Late 20s to early 30s.

Why would you expect a 30 year old at Verizon to spot your UConn mask and be like “yo I love Wes B but my favorite memory is jiggling in my mom’s tummy when Scott Burrell threw the pass”

 

[UCTitleTown]

If your favorite Husky is Earl Kelley or earlier, YOU OLD....

 

[Rico444]

I go Cliff Robertson - No;

Cliff Robertson is my favorite husky, followed by Niels Griffey, Rashard Anderson, and Ryan Boatwright.

 

[HooperScooper]

How about Omeka Okafor? He needs to be up there somewhere.

Bialosuknia is translated to mean White Dress in Polish.

Just an FYI.

 

[Vancat]

Bingo

Is this Cliff Robertson thing an inside joke that I'm not in on? I'm aware of Cliff Robinson and Tony Robertson, but...

Rounding out the all time uconn "how do you spell their name?" team?

 

[borninansonia]

Corny Thompson turned me into a UConn fan

The inside joke is UConn fans not knowing how to spell their favorite players' names.

I remember this from UConn days when I attended. But this verifies it.

Ray can't be old. I was at UConn all three years he was there, and I am not old. Oh wait...never mind. He is old.

 

[jibsey]

I bet Ray can still nail 3’s from everywhere.

 

[olehead]

Earl Kelley, and then Chris Smith, who I believed to be one of the smoothest college ball players ever to play the game.

 

[Kenny11]

I felt older. I went to hooters to watch the tournament game and the waitress said she went to high school with one of the uconn players. I asked who. She said Andrew Hurley.
