Ten Toes In

[Mano]

Ten toes in means being willing to explain to your spouse why there is a strange man with a six-pack of cheap beer on the porch.

Cool man, I can handle that pre-req. See you on Sunday, say, quarter to 4?

Ten toes in. The phrase makes me envision an extremely pigeon - toed individual whose toes point at each other.
I don't think that is what Coach Ollie meant....Total dedication and not jumping off the bandwagon when the team doesn't play up to expectations seems a better fit.

Ten Toes In. What does it mean to you? Best reply gets an ice cold six pack of rolling rock hand delivered within CT. If winner is outside of CT, I will PayPal the cost to buy a 6 pack of rolling rock. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc.

Hold the beer. As a fan it means that UConn basketball is the first thing you think about in the morning when you get up and the last thing you think about before you fall asleep, and whatever you think about in between is inefficient use of your brain cells.

Makes me think of a picture in our textbook on polydactylism.

That's not ten toes in. That's a grown ass man being (admirably) obnoxious. Not hatin', just statin'.

Fan's can't be "ten toes in." Spectators can't be "ten toes in." That's not how it works. Fans sit and watch, cheer, intermittently stand up, and sometimes get kicked out.

While I agree w most of this, there is one caveat imo: when it comes to post season mojo runs, you can (and should) be ten toes in.
