OT uconn in nyc

[Buffett10]

I'm in NYC for the week. Everytime I go by a Cuse or St.John fan I let out a "UConn HUSKIES" chant.
Also why do people wear UConn hoodies/sweatshirts if they cant let out a "UConn" chant when seeing another fan. We are in UConn's 2nd home. Seen more UConn apparel then Cuse and St. Johns combined.

Because some of us are adults who are living our lives and not going to just start chanting UConn in the middle of the street. There's a time and a place, and the time is almost never "whenever you feel like it."

I saw a guy wearing a UConn sweatshirt in the Cardiff, Wales airport last summer. It was like 5:30 a.m. and I bellowed "Go Huskies!," which boomed across the terminal (to the horror of my wife and daughters). The guy looked at me like I was a serial killer and hurried through security. I saw him again once we were in the waiting area and he seemed to be avoiding me like the plague. I finally sat near him and asked him if he went to UConn or was just a fan. Neither, as it turns out--he apparently just found the sweatshirt at a thrift store. Go figure.

I say hi to someone on occasion if I see them wearing apparel in the city and it's an approachable sort of occasion but otherwise I generally keep to myself

I was using my UConn umbrella last Friday near Bryant Park and someone did the "UUUUConnnn" so I had to reply "Huuuuskiiieees".

I'll usually do the same if the person is just walking by themselves.

Now, if a Cuse fan, yelled Let's Go Orange in my face, I'd probably look pretty bewildered too, Lol.

Yeah I usually will say "Go Huskies" or something in a moderate volume, but trying to start a full "Uuuuuu-Connnn Hus-kiiiiieeessss" chant feels like a little much.

This practice seems a bit wierd.....good luck...

This is the kind of dedication we need. Don't listen to these fools. Go hard, or go home.

agreed
The full chant is only effective in the halls of MSG after a victory vs the Cuse, Puke or Kensucky

When I see someone in NYC eating candy I go up to them and say "Mongo like candy" and I get the same response as the OP. Go figure.
