OT: How did you choose your Boneyard username?

[MattMang23]

Mine is my old AOL screen name. Now I just use it for this board. 23 was my hockey number in high school, which is... wait for it... when I made my AOL screen name.

 

[intlzncster]

I've always been curious about @intlzncster and @Da_Aisijimo_Gou ... Probably some others that I'm forgetting...

For fans of the golden age of hip hop:

 

[BoatShow]

I like going to boat shows

 

[husky99]

Like uconn and graduated in 99

 

[Mazhude]

The first time I scored a goal for the Wilbur Cross High School soccer team, Mazhude is how the New Haven Register spelled my very exotic name of Michaud.

 

[intlzncster]

Mine is obviously a reference to two things I enjoy. When I did a google image search for something like 'siberian husky beer' I was surprised that something usable actually turned up. No need for photoshop - it is just a husky floating in space drinking a beer. Of course that image existed. (The only downside is, it appears to be a green bottle.)

That would be the Rolling Rock.

 

[Dove]

For fans of the golden age of hip hop:

Why is this so awesome?

 

[Penfield]

My middle name. I have a hat like this & a beard like this

 

[intlzncster]

Why is this so awesome?

It was the Golden Age man. Everything was awesome.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I thought Sean McDonough's call was Party at Kemba and not Cardiac Kemba. True story.

When someone told me for the first time he didn't say "party at kemba," I really didn't believe them. You're not alone my friend.

 

[The Funster]

1) I was funny back then

2) OK, I'm really Raf...

...no really.

 

[junglehusky]

Remarkably nobody had taken junglehusky back in the early days, so I took it. And thankfully was able to take it whenever the board moved from TOS and TOOS.

For fans of the golden age of hip hop:

I did not recognize Busta Rhymes. Probably should have since he looks the same. Never heard of the group or the song but went "whoa, I know that voice!" and googled the members.

 

[ctchamps]

I was ctchamps. I loved ctchamps. Use it for everything else on the internet. Used it in past renditions of this site. Wanted to use it for this site but for whatever reason couldn't get it to come up. To say the least I was ticked. So I tried to to channel my anger into something clever. I thought it was clever. I still think it's clever. But twice I explained it and twice I didn't receive one like from the post so, since I already have a cruddy like to post ratio, I won't bother this time.

Avatar needs no explanation. Best thing about moving to North Carolina is I can watch a lot of Bobcats (Hornets) (Kemba) games. He's really making a name for himself in this state.

He kills it on that track.

 

[UConnStats]

There's nothing on this subject I can say that isn't boring.

 

[RipCity]

The first year I started watching basketball (or at least was old enough to remember) was Rip's freshman year.

 

[UCweCONN]

Many are obvious—such as the multiple variants of UC9904111417—but others suggest either a good story or an interesting personal statement.

Alternatively, is there any meaning behind your choice of avatar? (Mau, you don’t need to answer this question; and I agree, by the way.)

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Possibly the greatest single day of my life. Had to honor it.

 

[UCweCONN]

Seriously, mine was chosen after we won in 2011 when all the so-called experts doubted we could win it all. It's a spin on "You see we can." After the BE Tournament win, I was extremely confident that it was destiny that we'd win it all. The avatar came from a thread from when the logo was changed. I preferred the white Husky and someone posted this version as an option. I stole this avatar and have kept it despite some other posters on the logo thread saying it looks more like a cat.

 

[Sibeerian]

That would be the Rolling Rock.

I almost wrote "and nothing good comes out of a green bottle" in my original post. Forgot about the sacreds. What an offense to the mojo that would have been.

Escalators are for cowards: Kevin Ollie steals the show at Jim Calhoun's retirement party

"As I embark on this journey I want to just say we gonna take the stairs, and not the escalator, because escalators are for cowards. We gonna take the stairs, and we gonna get there one step at a time."

Re. avatar, Hilton was a) the first player I ever met in person, and b) the embodiment of what I look for in a player: patience and dedication to both the team and his craft.

Don't forget his insistence on playing all the way through the whistle

 

[cw00dson24]

Mine is from an old AOL screen name, I am a raiders fan and Charles Woodson was just drafted. Someone already took cwoodson24 so i replaced the o's with 0's.

 

[Kitaman]

For fans of the golden age of hip hop:

Do you know all the lyrics? Perhaps many years ago I could have kept up but now I'm catching about every 3rd of 4th word.

 

[nomar]

Because I like steroids
