So you're an old chieftain...

There's a 50/50 shot that i can make that happen when the day comes to fruition. You hold up your end of the bargain and ill do mine.

I don't think that will happen for quite a while as they just finished renovating the building. My first class ever was economics in Monteith. I remember it well as I was so hung over. What other way to start college. A little history on the building. http://today.uconn.edu/2016/08/henry-monteith-portrait-grand-old-man/

Honestly I would donate money to swing the wrecking ball once at Arjona or Monteith.

Add MSB to that list. How many times has that building already been rebuilt. Just start over. At last Arjona & Monteith were close to my dorm (Alumni) and in the early fall and late spring, reading and doing assignments (long before laptops & wifi) while relaxing around Mirror Lake was relaxing, until the damn geese began carpet bombing.

PS - I stopped by Storrs a few weeks back trying to avoid the mess that the Mass Pike was over a weekend gong back & forth from Boston, so I figured to hit the bookstore for some gear and Willington for some take-home pizza. Anyway, the wrecking ball has hit the old grad dorms in between West and the business building. They are all gone.

They tore down Connecticut Commons and are building the new Student Rec Facility there. And they completely renovated Monteith, it's quite nice inside now.

If the B12 is going to invite BYU, they'd better hurry. One of the leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of of Latter Day Saints may have been raptured.

If this keeps up, there won't be any BYU fans left to subscribe to a digital network.

Lawyer says fugitive church leader might've been raptured

Mayer went to Fairfield High and attended the Japanese program at McMahon for a semester.

He's from bridgeport

I hate to go off tangent but holy crap I barely recognize the place. They did an awesome job. I like the juxtaposition of the old buildings with renovated interiors.

Agree. On another tangent, and as a UConn Horticulture undergrad who had to memorize the Latin names of most every plant on the UConn campus, I feel the need to point out that those beautiful new trees flanking the entrance to Montieth are white birches, Betula papifera, not beeches. Reminds me of the joke about the woodpecker and the beech, birch and ash trees. But I digress.

Sorry to change the subject but just toured University of Maryland with my son. This was an epic fail by the ACC (not athletically, but academics). Impressive university. Did not want to post this in the LCC thread. LOL

Dude. I went to high school with him. He was born in Bridgeport just like I was - grew up in Fairfield.

Ok dude

 

[MattMang23]

Fagus. Pronounced Fae-gus. The Latin name of the featured, 100 yr old beech tree behind Monteith is Fagus grandifolia.

 

[Marty Jackson]

Is the fact we're talking the Latin names of trees on Uconn's campus at all a symbol that CR is dead, or that maybe our interest in the topic is waning?

If this was accurate (which it's not) B12 must really really really really really HATE WVU.
Even more isolated.

#BYU (7) and #UCBearcats (6) very close to required eight vote super majority. No other team has more than two. twitter.com/BoomOUUpdated/…


UConn doesn't even have 3? This b12 thing was odd to begin with. Hope the AAU stuff can attract B1G, ACC at some point.

This is pure guess work by Swaim. And bad guess work at that.

Since The Dude has blocked everyone east of Pennsylvania from his Twitter account, I love how we now get his garbage rants on tape delay. What an idiot.

He has not blocked me. Maybe because I am using his picture so he saw my account and said no sense in blocking myself.

Obviously filmed in Colorado, and just a few tokes over the line.

You can tell it's a beech tree because of the way that it is.

If you ever had any doubt about the Dud being a completely worthless source of information, go down to the comment section of this article he wrote and look at the comments from "peter banta" and "douglas jenkins". Shamefully planted testaments no doubt by the dud himself, but really bad. A 10 year old would spot that in this day and age.

Nice design and location. It is needed and long overdue. Still, it seems kind of wasteful to knock down Connecticut Commons.

 

[jrazz12]

I always thought Pete Dante was the most famous person to graduate from Conard!? He was in fact the QB in Waterboy and was in pretty much every other Sandler movie since then..

Hang out with him all the time in Santa Monica. Always a lot of beer involved
