Was hoping the women’s team would have won this year in order to get the 2004, 2014, and 2024 shirt and really confuse them.

I mentioned the double championships in 2004 and 2014 to a friend of mine towards the end of the season and then asked him what year is it now with a knowing look. He said "2024" and then you could see it dawned on him and he started laughing and I just looked at him and shrugged.

Fishing around for more NIL?

Or maybe just being a normal person who's the most sought after uncommitted recruit in the country.

The 1st BY'er who posts the official tweet that Liam is coming gets a special plaque.

 

[biggieb1950]

the one he missed, we would put it back in on the offensive rebound

This is a wrinkle that would surprise me. Guess we’ll have to wait and see

 

[Huskyforlife]

I see the Boneyard still has the memory span of about 15 seconds and overreacts to every piece of information

We have 6 titles, let the mojo do its thing.

Anyone else have this problem. After the first NC I bought 99 UConn championship stuff. Wore them so much they definitely showed their wear that year.

When we won in 2004 I bought more championship stuff. After looking at my 99 stuff I decided I’d only wear the 2004 stuff on special occasions. However when those occasions came up I’d see my 99 stuff and, thinking 2004 might be our last championship, I couldn’t get myself to wear them. Instead I decided I’m keeping the 2004 stuff pristine to be buried in.

So 2011 rolls around and I buy more stuff. Once again I can’t get myself to wear it. Why? Because I look at my 2004 stuff and my 1999 stuff and decided I liked the looks of my 2004 stuff a lot more. The same thing happened with my 2014 stuff, my 2023 stuff and I’m sure I’ll have the same problem with the 2024 stuff that I ordered.

Now it’s not 100% as I’ve described. I occasionally forced myself to wear some of the stuff from other championship years. But the vast majority of my championship stuff is pristine.

One last thing. For this championship run I didn’t declare my mojo superstition. The first thing was not to let anyone know my mojo routine. The second was not to come to this forum and have any conversations about the games. That was more painful than the neuralgia I suffered from the bout of shingles that occurred during this run.

It was a 180 from the “This is the way!" and the "I have spoken!” bit I did last year. The third thing was I decided to wear the 99 final four t-shirt. Wore that sucker every day for three weeks. Wouldn’t wash it. Sprayed the pits of the shirt with underarm deodorant when needed. After all I was so sick I was home bound the entire run. My wife, bless her heart, accepted this choice (from a distance plus a reminder “for better or worse”).

I don’t care what anyone else thinks. That shirt was the reason for number six. Not dragon underwear. Definitely not Taylor Swift.

And that led to a change of plans. When I die I want to be buried naked except for that t-shirt and a 99 championship cap covering my privates. Old and well worn is a good thing.

For real. The Boneyard makes a freaking goldfish look like a monk who's been silently meditating for the last 50 years.

Does Michigan even have spots left? I swear they added 20 guys already.

 

[VA Blue Dog]

OMG He missed one and even hit the rim one time. But at least the form was good.

I think that's about the most ridiculous thing posted to The Boneyard and... wait what were we talking about again?
