Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 4242068, member: 3806"] I’m new blood here (well, relatively. I joined summer of 2013 before beginning my freshman year at UConn). As I’ve carved out my own spot on the Boneyard, happy to be an ever-optimistic, obscure character in the background who offers a quip or two when it dons upon me, I’m blown away by the history and camaraderie of this place. Being here for the Senhor run of 2014 was a truly unique experience for me. And while it and the nostalgic stories of yore made me a touch jealous of missing all the… shenanigans of those past rounds, it tickled me to realize I’d found a community of UConn fans who not only equaled my own formidable passion, but oft surpassed it. I suppose now it is time to rise from the ashes like a phoenix. We had our prime, glistening brightly for multiple decades. Then, we fell into an elderly state, before collapsing into a pile of ashes. Now, we’re reborn. Though we’re still a young adolescent phoenix, there’s reason to believe we’ll be that gleaming beast once again, very soon. And with this new era reborn, we should both reminisce and revel over tales from the past and also set upon this brave new world with an inquisitive swagger and a hunger to see what’s next. If you find something works, do it. Whether it’s new or old. I know I sure as hell do. The mojo really has always been about the individual fans - the judge and the traditions served as an excellent set of guiders, but now it’s time to sink or swim on our own as we tackle the next phase of our proud program.
