Firstly Mike, you’re one of my favorite posters.

Secondly, I had a moment of disappointment too, I’m not going to lie.  Deep is turning this thing, no doubt, and away from the bizarre bordering on insanity shtick of the yard.  This may be the death of our collective weird, but I doubt it.  It will morph.

Ultimately what it’s about for me is our annual acknowledgement that we all have something in common.  That were so insanely passionate about UConn basketball that we dedicate an unhealthy portion of our lives talking about it, reading about it, and reacting to it.

The hanging was our coming together to assemble that passion into a whole greater than the sum of its parts.  To acknowledge our tribe.  That’s what made it fun even if it was just a bunch of pictures of Charlie sheen.  It’s the belonging.  Our club.

Why not use that power to change lives?  This year we clearly can for one of us.  We’re still celebrating our club and now in a way I can tell people about outside of this nut house.

I like it.  I hope it sticks.
