Most of the time we just go past the name under the header on this message board, Wesley Watt. Not everyone knows about Wes. He has been gone for eight years now. He was a kind, soft-spoken man but his eyes always had an energy and there was a subtle, playful smile that danced behind his lips.
Wes was my closest Boneyard friend. We would always tailgate before the spring games and when I came up to the Rent. We traded emails, and we saw some away games together. He always brought a collection of beers, usually from foreign countries, and the occasional tall blonde Hooker (ale, that is).
He was the opposite of me. Everyone liked him. He is still missed.
As the Boneyard ages we have lost a lot folks. And even though we argue and name call, it remains a community for folks who care enough to know the name of every UConn offensive lineman and dumb enough to think its important. Anyway, Wes loved UConn football which makes the space below the header a perfect place for the name of a truly fine person.
