Most Casual Fan Thing You've Done

[Chin Diesel]

I'd like to call this out separate from Chief's Casual Fan Night thread.

What is a casual fan? The term gets thrown around so loosely it's sometimes tough to know what casual fans actually do.

For example, chicken wings are sacreds. One time I got casual and ordered boneless wings since it was less effort to eat. I was later told boneless wings are nothing more than adult chicken nuggets.

Didn’t watch a bunch of games last year

 

[OkaForPrez]

Moved to NC, then AR. Stopped reading the 'yard daily.

 

[tcf15]

attended and *gasp* enjoyed first night a few times

 

[nomar]

I wore Dockers.

Just kidding.

 

[80shusky]

I always thought traveling was how the team got to and from the game. So that's pretty casual I'm guessing.

 

[TRest]

I refuse to follow recruiting. I don't watch highlight tapes.

I missed this thread when I posted in Chief's. Here's my definition of a "casual fan":

The "casual fans" Chief talks about are the folks who don't know the difference between man and zone defense, who would believe you if you told them Craig Austrie was the backup PG, and who are going to first night for Ayo and Teo. Quite frankly, their investment in UConn basketball is measured by how entertained they are by a game or event.

By this definition I can't believe many on here are causal.

Not being Chief

 

[tykurez]

Read a Chief post as if it had merit

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Going on a date tonight instead of first night. Or according to Chief logic, maybe that makes me a "real" fan????

 

[JCSuperstar]

On the day of the '11 BET Pitt game, I thought I needed to be at work instead of at MSG. Later in the day, I played Worlds of Warcraft.

I actually started hating UCONN players a couple of years ago followed by KO and his assistants.

Missed games and was cool with it.

You have always missed games. Remember when you missed a game because you were raking leaves?

I don't watch many basketball games live (maybe a handful/season), let alone go in person. My DVR is like having a time turner at Hogwarts.

Using what I believe to be (no first hand knowledge, but I hear my wife and grandkids talking about it) a Harry Potter reference on the 'yard might just be the ultimate degree of casualness a "fan" could display.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I'm not a casual fan of this team. I am a casual Jayhawk fan.

So instead I'll provide something "Boneyard casual", I won't drink Rolling Rock. At all. But I also did not drink it in 1999, 2004, 2011 or 2014.

Thought it was more efficient than a 1982 DeLoren.

Let's see...

☑ Been to first night
☑ Been to Jim Calhoun Celebrity Classic
☑ Have gotten autographs, pictures "for my kids." (I mean they were with my kids and I gave them to them but still..)

Wait.

You had to be told that?


So before someone told you that you pictured elves back in the kitchen removing bones from wings?

 

[Kenny11]

Made love during a uconn NCAA tournament game commercial. But finished before the game resumed. Tv timeouts are way too long in the tournament

#theyardneverforgets

I remember that.
