Not as long ago as some of the others but 2005, "Shoo shoo orange flu" was a cute way to get under the skin of CTO and the orange folk.

That wasn't a cute anything. It was a cluster f u c k of bad mojo (with bronze filigree!). Deep didn't miss often, but that was a miss. Was Jason that same year, or was that a separate mojo abomination?

The Haiku mojo was even worse I think.

Lots of good ones here. For a while there were references to, I think it was Cozy Shack, pudding or something along those lines. I never knew the genesis of that particular one.

Thanks everyone for filling us in. I now know why you so often bring up Israeli layers!

I totally forgot about the woodchipper. That is a really long time ago.
My grad lab mate at UConn ended up at the State Police Crime Lab running chemistry equipment. He cracked the case after checked the tooth remains from her. She was from Denmark and they used different amalgams in Europe than here. He picked it up and that was that "killing evidence.

Has nobody mentioned the Dairy Barn and ice cream causing recruits to commit?

For the record - none of this should ever be documented in one place (kind of like this thread - but the thread will fade). It should be something people have to figure out as they go along. It's part of the mystique of the Boneyard.

The bad mojo led to UConn losing an awful game to NC State but let us not forget what happened two nights earlier in that same gym.

At least the haiku sentence made dog mania shorten his novels. Something positive came out of it.

Cto took her ball and went home after the shoo shoo sentence. That was a crash and burn tourney .

I thought that was the Final Four in Detroit, when we lost to MSU?

Personally, I loved that mojo season irrespective. There was some high comedy when Dogmania was forced to economize--perhaps most of all upon realizing that he made better points when they were distilled.

The longest running grudge would have to be Cloth Frog's bizarre obsession with Yonick.

Not the oldest, but certainly of notable vintage:

Not recruiting Ryan Gomes, and

"Not one dime back! "

Okie Eric! We had a classic photo of him, but I can't find it on any of my hard drives.

Why did you want to see this again? Really if you see it once it can never be unseen.

The longest running grudge is between Gurley and I.

He hasn't spoken to me since the bitter Mejia-Millsap fued of 2003.

It was so silly...I don't even remember who was right.

I just found myself cracking up at a reference in another thread to an inside joke/grudge involving Stanley Robinson's athleticism that must be several years old. It got me wondering - can anyone identify the oldest inside joke on the boneyard that is still in usage? JaCkSon comes to mind but there must be something more antiquated.

Personally I don't think "sleek and lithe" gets enough play. Instant classic.
Lookest over there!

No mention of "The Chair"? I think it was Swami's?

As far as grudges, the back and forth between us and the UMass board used to get pretty heated. I don't think we have ever had as much hatred between two programs as those days on the old MASS Live board. Probably occurred during our days as a rag tag nomadic board that would chew up hosting accounts in mere hours.

Also all the endless Sacrifices, usually of the wing type.

The biggest Joke. . . . . . . Team Fishy

The funniest I remember was the Panzies incident at Quarry Ridge. Don't remember the guys name but he was one of Mau's boozebag buddies.
