Hurley on UConn fans

[intlzncster]

lol, oh man. You sent him the shirt?

Not the same shirt. Other one had chief/fishy writing.

Clearly a movement.

 

[UConn 77]

South campus was the center of the streaking universe in the 70s. And it wasn't pretty.

I was there. Me and another guy referred to ourselves as “the moon men of Crandall B.” Nothing more need be said.

You could tell at the end of the game the coaches and players appreciates our energy and cheering. Came over waved and thanked the fans. I know the section I was in....half court on player side was unhinged and we even scared some buffalo fans away who couldn't stand sitting in front of us any longer. Xavier will be a tougher fanbase to battle

Wonder if Bill Murray is gonna show up

Son we did them things in the 70s too

That’s because it’s a tradition. I’m trying to make sure they do it in the 20s.
It’s had enough they don’t call it the Jungle.

If he does, he'll probably wear a disguise.

Is Louisville playing? He showed up to some Wagner and Rhode Island games when Luke was an assistant for Dan.

You haven't lived until you watched a couch burn in the middle of the Jungle.

You evidently take your life in your own hands by referring to that particular set of buildings as, "The Jungle," nowadays.

Things I dealt with as an RA on Fairfield 1st included:

- my residents stealing a sheep from the farm
- painting said sheep with paint leftover from repainting the hallways, which of course was restitution for the bathroom they destroyed
- posing a dead raccoon on the ledge above the entry door, with a cig in his mouth and a beer bottle next to him
- having the hallway lights knocked out pretty much every week
- plenty of antics with the fire extinguisher
- during one of the snowball fights - one of my guys was shooting people with a pellet gun
- during the same snowball fight - my guys took all of the garbage can lids and used them as shields and then went and beat the # 2 out of people throwing snowballs at the dorm

And much, much more...

damn, I’ve always wanted a pet sheep, I wish I’d thought of this...

I was a regular resident in the Jungle (Litchfield), but I also was an RA on Baldwin 4 (which connected to some guy’s floor - started with an M, has the Jungle caf).

So because we were attached to a guy’s floor, someone puked in our water fountain every weekend. Sometimes during the week, too. Also, one time someone pulled it off the wall.

Dan Hurley is right! True husky fans are insane! I’m one them. Coming from a small state with no pro teams...( Hartford Whalers) Uconn is our team. I know personally for my friends and myself this is OUR team. I’ve never ever felt personal pain from losing in any pro sport except for Uconn. So when we do win, it feels like we’ve won.

I remember a pac man machine...

So weird.

The 2 videos synced up

That is a misquote. He says "Everything I've always said about this job is true."

Facts! Of all the Spring Weekends and Yale Bowls I have been to, NOTHING compares to what campus was like after we beat Duke for our first NC! Just complete and utter debauchery, it was amazing.

 

[Kitaman]

Goes to show you how bad its been with this reaction after beating Buffalo. Hell even after the Florida win I felt the celebration was over the top.

All understandable, but this drought sucks! But its starting to rain as you can see from the fan.

I still smell the mustard on the dorm room doors 45 years later from South Campus.

1979 - 40 years

Probably sick of all the puke.

Agree. That Jungle fire was amazing. I took off a game giveaway shirt and threw it into the fire in honor of our victory. Great times.

Get excited no matter what. Why compare. Off to TD now.

Besides the sheep that all sounds fairly tame sorry

Between us guys on the third and the girls on the second floor, in New London my sophomore year...

-90% of the ceiling tiles didn't make it
-floor flooded with an apple-bobbing accident
-bathroom flooded after we made a makeshift hot tub with a blow-up pool and all three shower heads feeding in to it
-billboards ripped out of the walls
-toilet seats all kicked off
-a fire from pot residue
-a fire from some idiot screwing up a small charcoal grill I’m the quad
-strippers in a quad room (old study room?)

and these were just floor/dorm-wife events

not that this is anything particularly crazy but at some point freshman year during finals week we were jousting with laundry carts in Russel (Notthwest/Frats)

His kid coaches at Louisville now so I’d doubt it.

Ah missed that, always enjoyed seeing him at Xavier games in the tournament, was a pretty cool thing.

For the mojo.
