So, what can we complain about tonight?

[Zanzman]

For some reason the game seemed shorter than usual.

True it was over at 14-0

 

[Bald Husky]

Sick of that Cadilac commercial. That music flashbacks me back to last year, being isolated and praying all day that our game would go on. Future games this year on Fox and ESPN, so thankfully I can rehab my brain.

12 foul shots between BOTH teams. That'll speed things up.

 

[Linart]

so.....technically, the "dot" for Script Ohio is a sOusaphone? I'm sending a letter to the Big 10.

Yes, I looked it up and it is a 4th or 5th-year band member with a sousaphone. I graduated from Ohio State and saw many a football game while I was there and I always thought it was a tuba. The things you learn on this board.

I learned there are concert versions of an instrument that are different from the marching band version. My son played baritone horn, a smaller tuba in a concert setting, but it looks like a big trumpet in the marching band version. The marching French horn looks like a big trumpet with a wider opening. Who knew?

 

[ClifSpliffy]

yeah, i got another crow to pluck, is the complaint window still open?

most of us thought, wrongly, that yesterday's game would be forever memorialized as The Return of Buckets. but lo, and silly us, twas not to be.
apparently, it is instead known as the game rekindling the Great Sousa or Tuba Controversy. i mean, seriously, a renegade gang of blowhards swiping the stage by awakening this age old turf war, and drawing in the attention and good will of folks who, once upon a time, played in their high school bands. an unexpected and nasty turn of events, kind of like that two stage epoxy stuff that rained/snowed/sleeted/iced down upon us casual mortals yesterday, and now is all ice station zebra around us.

wind instrumentalists. truer words never spoken. lol.
if the window is still open, please don't tell me, when i reach the front of the line, to go to Helen Waite. i'm tired of talking to her cuz nuthin ever gets fixed.

 

[Khal Drogo]

I was not happy with Geno‘s sport coat

Too many braids in Paige’s hairdo?
Dance team unis not sparkly enough?
Not enough tubas in the pep band?

Geno’s restaurant is still selling Russian Vodka. Pour it down the sink.

 

[Geew1992]

I’m sure they will find something

 

[Crossover]

Ducharme's outside shooting............her touch is just not there at the moment..........it's really important for her to get that going so they will have three legit three-point shooters plus CFW and Evina...........she certainly hasn't let it affect her layups off the drive though.......she rarely misses.

Someone is missing the humor gene.

Team Sousaphone here, high school marching and concert band.
And just to stir the pot a bit more - traditional brass over fiberglas...all those dents in a high school horn just add color to the sound.
Go Low Brass!

You can never have enough tubas in the pep band.

 

[Biff]

All this band talk sparked this memory....

I burned the bacon for my Bacon, chicken, mushroom pizza. Don't worry. The pizza JuJu is still working. Except for Mr. Rowdy asking for Hawaiian pizza for the Villanova game. I hate Hawaiian pizza. I told him if we lose to Villanova, I will NEVER make it again. Problem solved.

I'm a NY-er. To me Hawaiian pizza is an oxymoron. Something like NY Poke which uses raw frankfurters.

 

[JellyBean]

My only complaint would be this was a quick game. The refs only called a total of 15 fouls. I guess they had plans too!

That’s like Chicago “pizza.” That’s an abomination in the Biblical sense.

Half a like. That deep dish stuff is n-i-i-i-ce! But it's not N.Y. pizza.

 

[jchusky]

good news that is the last game on Sny for the season. Big east tournament is on Fox.

 

[Gabbyfan]

I guess we could complain about the low number of offensive rebounds.

If you make every shot, there are no offensive rebounds to be had!

Bad word warning

I shoulda made this an OT rant.

Now that is unusual, the Freshmen teaching the upper class people. Fudd too is excellent in the layups, especially during the game (kidding). Caroline, my long lost relative from 10 generaions back (not related in basketball skills), tickles me when she makes those near basket shots so easilty. It's like, what's so hard?

Brooklyn style. Keep your chicago, deep something, only cheese topping. Nada else.

Maybe with pepperoni or sausage. (When I grew up in The Bronx, that was called “sauseech.”)

 

[SCHuskiedad]

What years did they graduate? My sons were 2013 and 2015.

2016 & 2019. 2016 is now a math teacher in Providence and 2019 is graduating from UConn in May. I’m sure your youngest and my oldest crossed paths.

I’m sure they did. My son was the assistant drum major and I was quartermaster.

Need the University to post actual number of tickets scanned, real bodies in seats. They posted yesterday Gampel had attendance of 10167. That is actually the number of seats. Anyone watching across the nation saw many open seats both behind the announcers and the teams.

Watch her go off n break the 10 in a row record of KLS.

If it's really important to you, file a Freedom of Information request asking for the info.
And if they don't keep track of the actual attendance, ask them why not.
If you don't like their answers and you live in CT, then contact your CT State Representative & CT State Senator to complain about UConn's lack of transparency.
You can also write letters to various state agents such as the UConn President.
It may be helpful to explain why you think that it's important to know and why it should be publicized.

Need? Why?

So happy with any public entity falsifying data?

I have contacted different government agencies about many points mainly about government waste. Other universities across the nation post actual attendance numbers. Why does the state University of Connecticut not? I WILK reach out again
