The Judge Speaks: The Farewell Tour

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Bobby Hurley would eat Pizza Hut in New Haven

Not Bobby's?

We won. Maybe the mojo god knows I'm RR intolerant.

My wife was using that Lactaid stuff for a while.

Maybe there is a Rolling Rocktaid?

You know how many years I choked that swill down? Hell I had to eat Turkey and ketchup and I’ve been biting a raw potato since 99

You eat Arby's. It likely wouldn't matter to you if the mojo required Michelob Ultra or Natty Lights.

And IIRC, you schemed numerous variations to avoid actually eating cheap deli turkey and Heinz. And most importantly, you failed.

The fact that you consider arbys a lesser food option negates all other opinions

Love ya man, but we're never gonna see eye to eye on Arby's. I'll grant you it's in the top half of national fast food chains, but that's as far as I'm willing to go. I've had the gyros.

Have the nuggets and crinkle fries and then get back to us.

 

[prankster]

Can we please just set up a standing ADub food thread, pinned to the top of the board.

Tom will best know how to manage it when it hits 10,000 posts after a week and a half.

 

[storrsroars]

Have the nuggets and crinkle fries and then get back to us.

I promise I will after I die and am reincarnated as an over-privileged finicky 5-year old. I'll even have it with ketchup.

Have no fear, Yarders. The Judge and his trusty Hangman Swami ride for you one final time. Like the heroes of the wild, wild West and their tails of yore, when our beloved townsfolk needed us? We again have answered your call to arms.

I have been serving as your beloved Judge since 1999 when I first shoved through bogus charges, held a meaningless trial and hung “The Dukie 5” en route to our first National Championship. And from there? To quote our resident hippy A-Dub, “what a long, strange trip it’s been”. We have eaten wings, worshipped a set of hairy Brazilian testicles and gotten drunk on tiger blood. They were the best of days.

When I sat back in the Judge’s Chambers the last couple days, I looked back at the last few weeks and it felt like old times. Metro North cars jammed with UConn fans. U-C-O-N-N chants ringing off the rafters of Madison Storrs Garden. Anticipation for Selection Sunday. And I remembered the Deepster’s #1 Rule of Mojo.

If you think it effects the Mojo, it does.

There will be no one hung. This year or from this point forward. Instead you will use this March and every March that follows it as a testament to storied history of the Boneyard and how we eat buffalo wings, drink Rolling Rocks, post Charlie Sheen references and torture Tom with a never-ending avalanche of (PG-13 rated) Senhor Testiculo memes because that is what makes up our championship DNA. And like Glinda told Dorothy, it's not the shoes. It's if you believe that when you click them? They take you home.

Those things all worked because we believed they did. It was nothing that I ever did otherwise.

And if you want to continue pulling at straws every March hoping to find the next needle in that haystack? Have at it. I won’t be part of that monkey business any longer. That old version of the Yard is gone and, as your trusted Mojo Maven, I am telling you. This is the way you keep it alive. You can choose to listen to me? Or you can follow Don Prankster Quixote and his “word of the day” calendar as he romps around tilting at windmills. Your call.

I will also say 2 final things and leave you to do what you will.

1. I have nothing but respect the newer forms of social media. And I respect the impact of @Penfield and UConn Twitter as well as Marc D’Amelio and what he’s done for UConn sports. The Judge would love nothing more than to see what we did on the little ol’ Boneyard bleed out into the Twitter and TikTok’s of the world. More views, more pub, more buzz means more Mojo. Let's open this community up and use all the bullets in the gun.
   
   
2. You’re all fools if you don’t use the attention to this team over the next few weeks to help create something special for Aubrien Jimenez. The Yard, over the years, has never been better than when we’ve joined forces to help someone in time of need and this innocent little cherub already has the love of Coach Hurley and our team behind her. So, I challenge you all to figure something out here to shoot this family to the moon.

Listen to me and get moving? Or sit around trying to be smarter than me. Rest assured, only one of those options will work.

I am so excited to see so many of the veterans of this hallowed ground. Yep, to the smart asses I am still alive. It’s MARCH, our beloved Huskies are gone again, and it is Thursday the real first day of the Tourney. Thank you Deepster and the Hangman for all your years of service to this site. If Deepster thinks retirement is

I am very happy to see all the veterans of The Boneyard still here. And yes to the Smartasses, I am still alive. Thank you to Deepster and the Hangman for their many years of service to this site. So many insanity laced laughs and good times.

Now…it’s MARCH!!, our beloved Huskies are back home where we belong, it’s Thursday, the REAL first day of the Tourney. So break out the nachos and Rolling Rocks, pizza ( yes, Kenny I am talking to you) abs whatever else YOU need to feed the mojo. Because as we all know

If you think it effects the Mojo, it does.

GO HUSKIES!!!!

@suzyq? You are still alive?

Please disregard all of the foregoing from the heretic deepster. Lord Penfield has assumed the role of judge in sentenced deepster to be hanged and relegated to that special hell known as Providence Friars fandom.

You can read all about the punishment here, but the TL;DR is that if the heretic deepster posts about anything other than the Providence Friars you should respond with the following phrase:

Shut up Dumpster you Friar loving bastard!

Pictures of that heinous Providence mascot are optional.

 

[HuskyHawk]

FTR, I didn't drink Rolling Rock for the last 2 NCs, nor wings for 2014.

I might eat wings this time around, but I'm not drinking RR for anyone.

It has always tasted like they blend it with the other famous product from Latrobe, motor oil.

I’m blown away by the hostility toward Deepster. I don’t know about the history behind the judge, hangings, Swami and mojo. But it is apparent that Deepster has been a loyal contributor to this board for many years, and we owe him a huge debt of gratitude. And so I say, shut up Deepster you Friar loving bastard.
