I wish when I was there they ever ran a promotion. At the time they still charged students for games and concessions were only cheap at soccer games. Guarantee if every night was $2 beer night, or something fun like $1 hotdog night, the student section would be packed to the brim.

"Drink up bitches" ! about sums things up.

 

[aburks41]

The Providence athletic director had to go on the PA system literally 5 days ago in their game against Villanova to tell students to stop throwing beer cans on to the court, and then Cooley has the gall to say that UConn fans are arrogant.

You must submit to the POWER OR BEER!!!!!!!

Or as Hurley said, "Other teams have been two dollar beering the shit out of us."

True but that would increase the number of clients for AA and Weight Loss clinics.

UConn students are classy drunks.

I'm amazed that EC isn't man enough to admit that they got their backsides handed to them. We won because we outplayed them by a massive amount, not because beers were discounted.

You're acting like the 3 most popular bars at UConn are within a 2 minute walk from each other and nickel night happens 3x a week. UConn thrives on permanent BAC of .12

When was this, because it wasn't last night.

Why do you say that? These kids got air time last night.

 

[geordi]

So, If $2 Beer Night was responsible for Providence getting blown out, shouldn't we be having $2 Beer Night for every game?

Why not? The dance team uniforms, which I'd never seen before last night, match. And when else have they had 12 oz Millers at Gampel?

 

[REB1094]

Plot twist, Cooley has a secret sponsorship with Miller Lite and is trying to lobby other schools to have $2 MLs every game!

It was. These kids and their cans were on TV.

It was last night. I was sitting in section 107, the beer tower was 30 feet from me

Wish Spiros was still around. If it was I'd be there ordering beer by the pitcher no matter the cost. Was it about $2 or $3 a pitcher back in the 70s.

I have no doubt they made a pyramid with cans they collected from the trash. But I didn't hear about or see any cans thrown on the court last night.

The beers thrown on the court being mentioned in this thread is PC fans in Providence last week. Our educated non-arrogant fans wouldn’t do that

So joking around is verboten here? I was a college freshman twice - before military service and after my all expense paid vacation in Vietnam. Beer was 25 or 50 cents in Vietnam at the NCO or Airmens club so I am no stranger to drinking. Hey lighten up the Huskies won a great game let’s enjoy it.

The Providence fans did that in past games, not last night.

 

[willie99]

I even had a beer (after all, there is no bourbon or tequila)

But then I had to use the men's room. Never again, that setup is a nightmare, between concessions and the mens' room there is gridlock. I'm going to stick with alcohol that dehydrates you

No, the reference was that Providence fans were throwing beers on their court in one of their last games (cant remember if it was Nova or Creighton). Not last night.

Truth is a defense for libel

One student did throw an empty but it was during half time when the court was empty. The PC students were throwing them with 1 minute left in the game against Nova this past weekend.

I got a laugh from Coach Cooley's comment about the beers. I felt he was just trying to be funny there in the interview. Thankfully did not see stuff thrown by the students. The REALLY loud duck You Friars chant near the end of the game was not a great moment however. They can come up with something better than that I would think. Quite a few young kids in the building. The students led the way all night in the noise department and were great all season in Gampel.

About to post a reply, and then I realized that was sarcasm.
