Surprised no other Coventry folks. UConn is practically religion there.
 
The responses have been awesome! UConn Nations reach is definitely coast to coast & beyond. Thank you for indulging me and my thread. Hey, if anyone's thinking of buying or selling, in any state, shoot me a private Yard message if you need a realtor. I work with a National Referral company that can help customers in all 50 states! I've already been contacted by a few posters with plans for Spring/Summer moves. Any state/any property. Thanks!

Northwest takes the cake. So much to do here. But I learned how to play b-ball from Jim Calhoun and his basketball camps when I lived in CT, I have a ball signed by Ben Gordon and my love for that program and all it has done for me will never go away! I go to UW and UW Bball fans hate it when I shout proudly...Go UCONN! :)

I'm surprised they don't draw and quarter you. UConn has repeatedly ripped the heart out of that program.

And the real motive is revealed. GemParty has just quickly filled up his sales pipeline with next to no effort. Points for ingenuity. :D

I was going to respond to your original post by saying this must be a sales pitch by you somehow but didnt want to be a d ick. I guess I was right. Still enjoyed the thread.

Don't sweat it.

I'm going to make him give a kidney to the other dude as penance for this.

There's a nice property in Piscataway that will soon be on the market, if you want to get out front of that one.

Haha I am surprised too. They are very bitter at the superior huskies (in basketball anyway). They usually get over it by saying something like "well, we are better at football" haha. Also, you can be absolutely sure I will be at the Uconn vs UW game here in Seattle next season! So pumped to watch my favorite team play in action. Been since 09-10 when I went to the Uconn vs. Gonzaga game for Battle In Seattle.
I was one of the only people wearing a Uconn jersey in the arena. However, I am nervous about next season as UW is right downtown and if I wear anything Uconn in the arena I am afraid I might be in for a very long night. I might have to go as an "under cover" Uconn fan wearing UW gear...I mean it's whats inside that counts right?

No, you obviously must wear UConn gear and cheer over the rest of the crowd. This is one of those defining moments in life where you stand up for what's good and pure and right, or you wear UW gear and watch your privates shrivel up and fall off.

My family is in the Overland Park/Johnson County area. Very nice place to grow up, at least when I was there (the suburbs there have spread south and west like a virulent weed or something...pretty incredible. On a side note, Beakumhawks also lives there.

My uncle probably built a few thousand of those houses. Spreads south and west at an amazing rate. Corporate Woods used to be in the boonies. New Englanders couldn't really conceive of it.
