Most Casual Fan Thing You've Done

[August_West]

The best jokes are jokes that are missed by some in the audience. It's not even an original joke. The whole "boneless wings are chicken nuggets for adults" joke has been around for years. It's perfect to bust out in a group environment at a sports bar or something like that. Only cool to do it to a dude. Don't ever expect that joke to go over well when thrown at women.


Another thing I've done as a casual fan is go down rabbit hole debates with internet trolls. Real fans know when they make a fantastic joke and it goes over the head of smelly hippies to just let it ride and move on in life. Casual fans take up valuable time of other posters by postings posts that are too long and in length with out adding anything to the conversation. Real fans find it annoying; casual fans don't even know they are being drawn in to a troll fight and feed the fire.

There is no such thing as a boneless wing. It’s a chicken tender with sauce.

Last time I went to Tavern House Grill I ordered buffalo wings and they brought out a platter of chicken tenders and poured Franks all over them.

attended and *gasp* enjoyed first night a few times

I'm here now, posting on The Boneyard as they're pumping the crowd before introductions., wearing a new logo hoodie.

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.

Great post.

During his redshirt season, I incorrectly believed Ruslan Inyatkin's last name to just be Yatkin.

I watched the UConn Syracuse 6OT game in my apartment in Manhattan because my wife didn't want to go with me and I didn't want to go out leaving her at home alone.

Almost exactly a year later we decided to separate and then divorced.

Uh-huh.

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.

RR does indeed suck. But one can hold one's nose and drink a bottle. However, if the stunod who decreed RR a "sacred" had done so with a Michelob Ultra, I'd sooner be a Cuse fan. There are limits.

Anyway, I never liked the Gay/Charlie V era. Just never warmed up to them. Usually had the games on, but wasn't invested. And I've given Penn State's dairy bar a better review than UConn's.

I don't think I've ever been a casual fan. The first Christmas present with a plug I ever received was an AM clock radio. UConn was playing the next day and I've been a fan ever since. But I was taken for a casual fan once. I was at a Vegas sports book the week before the 1990 BET. They had the tournament odds posted in front of us, the top 3 were close but UConn was listed first (8-5, 9-5, 2-1, iirc) and I said out loud what I was thinking, "Can you [freaking] believe that UConn is favored to win?" Thinking in my mind, "look we're finally a player." But the ticket puncher chimed right in like I was a casual fan, "UConn deserves to be the favorite, they're for real this year!"

I went on a first date with a girl from Tinder the night of the Villanova game in the 2014 run.

However, at half time I ended the date early because I couldn't stand not watching it and went to a sports bar to watch the 2nd half.

Not deleting a Chief post.

Still single, aren't ya?

Scheduled a vacation in Mexico the first week of April, 2014. Only saving grace were the Kansas fans at the resort who couldn't stand Kentucky

Like which Husky did you dress?

Pretty sure they all dress the same.

Wouldn't have been If you were at the game.

He was at the game.

Sadly, some chickens are born without bones in their wings. See my go fund me page.

 

[mauconnfan]

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

Was anyone there to attest to this?

 

[mauconnfan]

I have to watch a bunch of games on DVR, which is usually fine, but last season I would start ffwd if we got down by 15 and only watch in real time if they ever cut it past 15.

Needless to say I wore out the ffwd last year.

Yep must admit to the same. Hate to say I even just "Deleted" one, maybe 2. Ugghhhh

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

I used to make it a point to watch every game, whether I had to listen on radio or figure out some other way. I would also check multiple blogs religiously. After leaving the big east and the team trending downwards the last few years, my interest has gone down considerably. I'll still try and catch as many games as I can but I won't rearrange my schedule like I used to. I'm excited for the Hurley era, but I can't see my excitement for collegeball ever reaching the days of the big east unfortunately .

Went to Dominos in New Haven

Was anyone there to attest to this?

Well the girl but I'm guessing she didn't stick around.

 

[mauconnfan]

Well the girl but I'm guessing she didn't stick around.

Oh there was someone else?

 

[CL82]

Oh there was someone else?

Haha, you're right. I was giving him to much credit.

Never been to a Bunky event.

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

#theyardneverforgets

That day, sir Deep, was one where I tuned in late due to raking leaves. Messed up on the start time so missed the first half. It was the J Dyson face plant game.
