Hip tossed my roomate separating his shoulder after our oozeball loss circa 2001. A trip to Windham and we were back on the bottle 3 hours later. He sold all the vicodin that weekend for more booze money.

Hands down one of my favorite memories at UConn. Game time Saturday morning. Friday night went to Teds. Then went to the rec for a dysfunctional team bonding practice. Woke up at 7am. Went to the gym. Strictly 10 reps of bicep curls. Walked to the mud court and won the whole thing. Highly suggest Hurley implement this pregame preparation..

how did your oozeball team do this year?

Someone told Chief, Herbst banned that too. If she was a clueless mayor of a city rather than a clueless University President - she would ban driving the first time an accident occurred.

What?

‘Twas more fun before UConn was gentrified.

I was a Freshman in 1984. Had no idea that was the first year of it (was probably Spring of the class before mine). Never played, but I enjoyed spectating. Some harsh, cold days for it at times.
