Is Saturday the biggest day for this program since the 2014 natty?

I remember leaving the PCC after some brutal losses and the PC fans were brutal. I hate them and their school (not their coach). But when newbies here give PC the wave of the hand, I think they are being disrespectful to those who came before. UConn-PC games are wars.

You are correct that PC always played us tough and our younger crowd cannot possibly know what the heydays of the Calhoun era was like.

Our younger fans cannot possibly have a concept of rthe heydays of the Calhoun era when we battled PC after all that was prior to their conception. Yes we usually beat them but not a stroll by the lake on a lazy afternoon.

The only Friar from our meetings I really remember is John Linnnehan(?). He was a great player, an amazing pest. Fun to watch in a perverted way as he was a thorn in the side of the Huskies.

Just to refresh your poor memory at the HCC.

The atmosphere at this game was unbelievable. Ryan Gomes mother was seated about 40 feet from the student section, which was quite unfortunate for her.

My favorite PCC memory was in 1990. UConn coming in on a high after recently beating two Top 5 teams. PC needing a win to keep their tourney hopes alive. "It's Midnight Cinderella" read more than one sign in the feisty crowd. UConn went on to win by double digits as the early-emptying PC fans were serenaded to a raucous "P-C N-I-T! P-C N-I-T! " I started that chant. That's not a humble brag, it's a brag.

The games were close for many years. You ****s went on an amazing run that despite what we friars think is one of the most amazing things to happen in our lifetime. (4 NC’s) Now we start a new chapter this weekend. You may think we can’t hang, we will soon find out.

 

[Salty Dog]

Wow I hope we beat the breaks off these guys.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

certainly not the bigeest day. but its always important to beat the cr*p out of PC.

 

[Palatine]

Then there is this.

 

[jibsey]

We are down a major scorer and rebounder so I don’t get any overconfidence on this game, in fact it’s probably pick ‘em even though we’re home.

 

[Fishy]

I can’t remember the fan base being more excited for a game since then. Full house…. National TV… Huskies. PC fans in the building beware…

As to your question, no.

 

[Greenback]

Providence fan welcoming us back to the Big East

 

[Umami Zen]

No.. More mountains to climb than PC

 

[Deepster]

If this game is "that big", I'm amazed at how the fan base has either forgotten what it's like to be important or is too young to realize it's just PC.

You could probably list out 200 games bigger than this one.

I have no doubt you can hang. I think this will be a telling game for both teams let’s see what happens.

I have no problems giving PC fans the high hat, they suck, their decade of excellence was 50 years ago. But UConn-PC games are always a rock fight, I'm already feeling it through my Omeprazole. The beers go down faster at PC games and I have to go out after. I'm really hoping the 3's are falling.

Blow my specialists!

 

[AntG168]

They put me right in the middle of friar nation. But I’m going to carry the flag!!!

 

[T-Squared]

The biggest game since the 2014 National Championship (which I attended)? Let’s hope not.

 

[Redding Husky]

We are not ready for prime time.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Us veteran fans kept telling the Mewbies here that Providence always plays us tough. We are down by 11 at half time. I have seen Huskies come back from worse but this of course ain’t good.
