OT: How hard do you Yard?

Participating in a hanging thread is point worthy. Maybe 2pts if you were actually tried?

Yeah, I was actually hung and only get 1 for it.
 
I was working at a law firm In Hartford at the time and had tickets, But ended up having to work as it was common in those days.
I know those days all too well. Not so common these days.
 
Inspired by those Facebook posts that count how many states you’ve visited or what weird foods you’ve tried, here is a list of historical Yard items to show just how big a Yarder you really are.

Unless indicated otherwise, give yourself 1 point for every item you know or have accomplished. Maximum of 28 pts available.
  • I used to go on the Hartford Courant UConn message board “The Husky Howl”.
  • I used to go on the bball.com UConn/umass rivalry message board.
  • I have attended a BYC. Add an additional bonus point if you were on a winning team. yes +2
  • I attended the Boneyard football tailgate at Memorial Stadium. Yes +1 (sat next to you and Christie. I'm trying to remember the name of the poor kid that Dove tortured) Was it Sparrowhawk?
  • I still have a 77-74 sticker. Yes +1
  • I donated to Coach Calhoun’s retirement present (heart pump for UConn Med Ctr).

16 or 17, majority of those points were accumulated between 1999-2004 (pre-children, San Antonio FF). My one BYC was on GOUCONN's gold bond ballbags team, tourney when legendary Bucky distributed marshmallows around greens, there were overturned bar-golf carts, explosions and ruined flower beds (2000-ish?).

True story, the honorary, gifted Gold Bond Powder with Triple Action (original strength!) was in my medicine cabinet until last year even though I suspect it lost its 'tingle' 10 years earlier.
 
19

How about GOUCONNs posts? Or who has seen a pic of the famous roll over of the CONNvict and Rip on hole 13 at the BYC..... +2 if you saw it live:eek:

+2 for me there! Do I get a point for helping to tip it back upright?

How many points do Funster and I get for being part of that foursome.....?

We actually witnessed the capsize of the golf cart....everyone else was late to the scene.

You get the gift of still being alive.
