He went on to live a very impressive life.

Very impressive man. Whenever we around to building an on campus football stadium, it should be named after him too.

It's probably worth mentioning here that National Champions Emeka Okafor and Justin Baisch (large walk-on) were my floormates in 2003-2004. I can't say that I interacted with either a ton, or that they were around a lot, but they both seemed like good enough guys. Emeka lived in a single and mainly kept to himself.

Justin Baisch was either from my home town or his mom worked in my home town because I remember him showing off his ring

Edit: just looked it up, indeed we went to the same highschool many many many years apart lol, and his name is jason

Did Northwest get leveled and rebuilt like South Campus, or did it just get a facelift?
 
I wonder how many off campus houses have crumbling foundations? Was that aggregate used on campus anywhere?
 
Actually just drove up to Storrs because I needed a new hat. Mushroom house is for sale!

Towers, Frats and the Jungle all got little hats put on top and at the entrances to spruce them up. Towers and Frats got new stand-alone cafeterias, all the little dorm cafs are now gone.

Towers (Colt-Jefferson) my first Fall.
Transferred to NorthWest (Russel) for the Spring, met and made all my friends there.
North (New London) Sophomore year.
Nathan Hale Inn (back when students were solely the 5th floor) my junior year. Incredible.

I was at UConn 03-07. We had our share of house names. Red house, yellow house, White House, fire house, brick house, etc. But they were literally the color of the house or what the house was made of. (Or, as in the case of fire house, what the house was next to.) I wonder what material or color a Dolphin House was?

Yeah what I’m saying is that that escalated when I was there. From what I recall, xyz house was mostly for frats and a couple houses that were occupied long-term by a given set of people. Like beach house for the rugby team after they had a beach party in the basement on Halloween, mushroom house with the frisbee kids, house shaped like a mushroom...

But then senior year when a few semi-distant girl friends of mine got a house and named it gypsy house out of some stupid inside joke...
 
Freshman and soph year at Greater Hartford campus in West Hartford, 71 and 72.
73 Hanks A in the Frats
74 Stowe D South Campus.

Nah it was 04-05ish when they started cracking down, blocking streets, wrist banding, shutting things down at times. The late 90s early 00's was literally lawlessness. Then the police realized they were police and started enforcing laws.
