OT: Blue/White "Kid"

[formerlurker]

I just stumbled on this article and thought you'd enjoy seeing this again. We going by "Blue/White Middle-aged Guy" yet?

Right behind Big Red in UCONN superfan rankings as far as I'm concerned.

Charlie V looks like the Zombie from I Am Legend right there.

I have to rank Blue/White Kid as the number 1 Super Fan. He represents at basketball and football games. Bowl games, tourney games, spitting contests...dude always seems to be there.

And he never uses the media to pander for tickets like Big Red.....every year.

Never realized his teeth needed a seating chart. Damn!

I don't know, man, just not cool with pointing out somebody's teeth. I look back on life and I'm blown away by how horrible people are to each other, and particularly with children mocking each other because of perceived physical defects. I remember a kid in 5th grade mocking a girl who walked oddly because she had cerebral palsy. Made me cry. No need to post a pic of the kid and make fun of his teeth. Just no need.

I'm not sure if that's sarcasm or a shot at Big Red. I like where this thread is going.............

It's sort of like making fun of Lebron for his hairline. I think they'll both be okay.

I'm as charitable as anyone on this board, Strummer, you can believe that. I'll even donate $50 to get the stick out of your a-ss.

Lighten &ck up.

Dale is the man. Had a few classes with him back in school. He's as hardcore a fan as they come. Still chat with him everytime I see him. Good guy. Lots of respect for him.

 

[sportsart]

I remember seeing him at a USF away game, in his blue/white colors. There were 3 guys giving him shart for standing up (in a section mostly empty and he wasn't blocking any view). They were students with a glow on. So I go over and ask these guys if there was any problem. Mind you I'm like 45 at the time but I'm 6'1" and about 240.

I actually went over with a smile, just to let them know Dale was with me. Took 'em up to buy 'em a beer, we had a few laughs and all was well.

I believe that was the game we were driving late for the win and Tyler fumbled. Ugh...

Any bowl games or away games I've gone to, there was Dale. Easy choice.

 

[itgoeslike]

I saw him at the UCF football game this year. . .

 

[Robertelamin]

Does he still paint himself? Last time I saw him was a number of years ago in the upper deck of the XL Center behind the students all by himself jumping up and down. I don't think they would let him in the student section because he was no longer a student. Honestly I felt sad/embarrassed for him at that point. He certainly was a very dedicated fan though!

I saw him in Arlington at the semi-final game against Florida...he was painted.

I have almost the same story but it was the UVA away game in 2007. Dale never taunted anyone but pissed off a few Docker, button down locals anyway just with his passion. My buddy and I saw him getting heckled, moved up a few rows behind BWK and let Trevor and his boys know we had still won the war and that Dale was with us.

I remember that game fondly because we had a roadtrip of about 8 guys planned. 6am on gameday I show up at the commuter parking lot and it's just me and another friend who had rented a sweet Cadillac Eldorado. We wait about 30 minutes and realize it's just the two of us. We both give each other an opportunity to back out but neither of us hesitates and we hit the road.

"Hey There Delilah" was on a loop at every f--cking tailgate but we also bumped into a great group of fellow UCONN fans. They just happened to be the Lutrus, Brown and Cullen families and we remained close to them at home and away games for several years. Probably one of my favorite away games because it was right at the start of us doing good things as program. I swear there was more Blue that day but this is a pic of the "UCONN section". May not look like much but we were pretty damn loud that day! (Chick on the right had great cans which is why the focus is on her).

My first reaction when I hear/read super fan is to laugh and think to myself that's about the dumbest descriptor ever.

I think the dude that shelled out a ton of coin for the practice facility, or the football complex or the folks that give big chunks of change and want to remain quiet about it are pretty committed fans. Might want to give them some consideration

Yeah well buckle up, wait until a thread about Cooley starts at some point. It's a free for all unfortunately.

He has a disease that hinders hair growth on the back of his head but he coaches a rival team so let's give him crap about it!

Boat, do you really think that my posting a picture of NBA superstar, multi-millionaire, Anthony Davis's jacked up teeth is equal to me mocking someone with a mental or physical disability?

If you do, my sincerest apologies, I'd never want to come across that way.

It's not. Some people just need to lighten up.

I mean the two aren't directly related but aren't mutually exclusive.

I respect your stance on this. I think it's over-reaching and over-sensitive but I respect it. I started this thread in good faith and am sorry it took the turn it did. I'm done here, see you in another thread my friend. Much love.

We can all agree B/W Kid (Dale) is the man.

lmfaoo. aww.

If 5% of our fanbase had BWK's enthusiasm we'd be the best college fans in the country.
