How did you first hear about the Boneyard?

[Frank06830]

So who was Adam and who was Eve?

So who was Adam and who was Eve?

For clarity and posterity sake: Stuart Levine was just the IT guy we had at the mid sized ad agency I worked at the time. I ran and developed the interactive group. It was during a time when the internet was considered more of nuisance in the world of TV dominated advertising. So in my role of running this interactive group I just usurped internal agency resources and was able to create a place holder for what became the boneyard site. Something I felt compelled to do as my daughter, left Coast Husky, was cheerleader for women's 1995 NC then became captain for men's cheerleader squad . Good times, great memories. 4 NC's later . Hooked on the Huskies...

Andre Drummond told me when we went out after one of the games

Thanks. I was hoping for a smartasss response and I got a history lesson instead. I'll take it. Cheers. And Thanks.

Wow, another name from the past I had totally forgot about.

Likely quite easily accomplished!

2004 SI commemoritive issue. MJim Calhoun called you looneys out for not loving Taliek. Been hooked ever since..

``He had one of the great lines. We have something called the Boneyard at UConn, a chat

room kind of thing. His last line tonight was, `What are they going to write about now?' He never had to be vindicated in my mind. He's one of the best point guards who ever played for UConn.''

Unfair ,
Heck if people put down Talik ,he was in good company. AJ,Kemba and Bazz all have felt the rath of the yard.
If Michael Jorden went to UConn and had an off night he would've been put down also.

I believe Frank was both, and Levine was the techie.

Kudos, Frank. Much appreciated!

I was surfing through the hartford courant message board after a rousing game of Slingo on AOL.

I forgot how much I loved Slingo!

No Tom, thank YOU. You did and continue to do all the heavy lifting all these years. Just glad to be part of this story.

I have always had secret fantasies about very large women. One lonely night while home alone I used my search engine to find "Husky Hardcores" and somehow ended-up at a Hartford Courant UCONN site.

 

[Dove]

Not hammered, but I'm enjoying a few of these tonight.

I think I go back to the Hartford Courant board or McD's. Like most, I honestly don't remember when I joined. Sort of like a wife and marriage. No one really knows, we all just go with what is on the calendar.

My Sunset Wheats were going down fast last night.

 

[swami7774]

I was part of the original Husky Howl via the Courant back in '97-'98. The whacko posts of guys like Fishy, Deepster, nyhusky, et. al. drew me in. I knew if those guys could write good stuff, I could too.

 

[swami7774]

Followed a Providence fan here. They said this is a real college team's forum....

Speaking of Providence, remember PC John? That asshat put the "P" into "P.U."

 

[swami7774]

Not insensitive or offensive, just really duck*ing weird.

That's one difference from then to now: at the dawn of the 'yard, no one cared about being "insensitive" or "offending" other peeps.
Not a good development.

Wow! This is the kinder, gentler Bone Yard!

Being from a generation when we were smarter than the phone which had a rotary dial, it was a late start for me. Computers were and still are a challenge, learning I played with google a lot and was amazed.
I would punch in a word and it took me to everything from the meaning of it and to other stratosphere's of where it was used. Photos, stories and generally most of what you would want to know.
Looking to challenge google I made up a game to learn more, close my eyes and tap a letter and use three words starting with it and see what google would do. First time I hit S so I typed in sanctimonious, sarcasm and slander.
Up came The Boneyard!
A love hate relationship ever since. Some fit those words many do not. An avid all sports UCONN fan I have to make at least one stop a day to get Nans UCONN in the news updates.

 

[Eskapeesto]

I was into The Boneyard before it went mainstream.

 

[jackanddanny8]

I'll just throw out, I have a bad memory, but the post with the link to the old Hartford board is one I remember. Bullet point style.

 

[usedtoberats]

1995 - temery was hosting a list along with huskynan, i jumped in with some comments, mainly about viewing and channels since I was living in chicago at the time

I think my first handle was HuskyPortugal94 (my grad year). Once I had mustered the confidence I added a post wondering when Calhoun would retire. Obviously I got slammed pretty hard. At least i got my cherry popped early.

I remember having read you handle as uconnDOLT for a long time before you corrected someone. The current font is easier to read and see the "i." I also had an early post that caused me to get slammed. It taught me that one should not compare anyone on UConn to Ajou Deng.

 

[Excalibur]

It was in the chat room during a game. I really can't remember which game, though.

It was the big comeback vs. UMass

 

[Ohio UConn]

started episodic observations circa 1998 ...certainly 1999...recall stumbled into Rivals then bounced to Boneyard pretty quickly

 

[Husky Dogma]

McD's site in '98. Been lurking ever since...

I moved to California and needed a way to stay connected to UConn basketball. Former handles were DC Husky & Palo Alto Husky.
