Tomorrow's game and weather

Having not been there in like 6 years until I went to the Creighton game I thought it was actually decent. Maybe an anomaly.
 
Snow games are fun. I remember Calhoun against Tom Moore’s Q. We were up by like 40 points with 2 minutes to go and a fan (who he knew) yelled from across the court at the relatively empty XL - “call off the dogs”! Jim said $W$T$F$ do you want me to do (implying we are so much better we can’t help it) - then he took his gum out and threw it across the court in the general direction of the fan.
He sat down on the bench and waited maybe 30 seconds so no one would think they could tell him how to coach the game and put in the Walk-ons. Classic Jim Calhoun.

Got to be honest, I've actually had decent results with the wifi in Gampel. It ain't perfect but it works well enough. XL Center on the other hand...

Not my experience. One of the early buy games it was fine. Since then I cannot even get connected.

I have to reconnect a couple times a game so it's far from perfect but when connected it has okay reception. It's a significant improvement from 3 years ago when there was nothing but definitely room for growth
 
My 7yo daughter’s Lego team of which I am a coach had tonight’s session cancelled. I’m not mad about it as it was in direct conflict with the biggest game of the year so far.

TIL that lego teams existed
 
If you can’t make it because of snow or other reasons you can contact UConnTickets on Twitter to donate them to a student.

For some reason they don’t do beer vouchers, weird.

In, but have a serious dilemma. My ticket is through the Xavier staff. Would it be wrong of me to sit in their seats and cheer UConn outwardly? I expect to be near their bench. I’ll have UConn gear on underneath though.
 
where is the best place to park tonight? I dont mind walking a bit. My go to was the south parking lot but that was on weekends.
 
looks like noaa caught up to the ice possibility.

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS
AFTERNOON TO 1 AM EST THURSDAY...
* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze. Winds
gusting as high as 40 mph.
* WHERE...Portions of northern Connecticut, central, eastern and
western Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island.
  • WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 1 AM EST Thursday.
  • IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions could impact the evening commute.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Slow down and use caution while traveling.

and for those thinking that im harshing on the game -don't be ridiculous. im only interested in what could be true, regardless of 'feelings.'
now, aboot these 40 mph upstate, and 50 mph downstate winds ....
im with huskyhawk and his prelude tales of yore, and i ain't in a rush to look for trouble, unless ur doing the driving. then, im all in.
almost every single accident that i've been in, starting with a few months after getting the license when somebody plowed into me, to the bunch of big ugly ones that later came, were in winter conditions. then, i learned the golden rule 'too fast for conditions,' and all that magically disappeared.
don't get caught behind me on the post road. i brake to let everyone turn into that road, like to look around to see what's happening, and generally just mosey on, and that's in good weather. bad weather? i ain't there, once again, unless you are doing the driving.
the crawl on the bottom of my page said 'rain coming' an hour ago, and now it sez 'mix coming.' duh. who needs them? any fool can go out in my yard, and feel the north wind blowin sketchy. whatever it is, it's definitely tuning up.

We better frkn win. Going to the game with X alumni buddies. Already had to deal losing to them while out at a bar, can’t deal with it live. Silver lining is I’m driving. They’re taking an Uber home if X wins.

Negative tone above, but I have a feeling we’ll win going away.

Dude, what? It's UConn home game. Why would it be weird to cheer for UConn even if you are right behind them lmao

It's our arena, they should be thankful we permit their unworthy presence in it. Openly cheer for UConn.

A guy from Marquette once got me tickets at Gampel and I sat behind their bench. I had no problems rooting for the Huskies. There weren't that many people from Marquette there anyway. Can't imagine there will be a lot of Xavier people there tonight either.

Favorite snow game - the absolute ass kicking that UNC got when they came to town in 2001/02 season. Same day as the tuck game - that was a fun game even though Carolina absolutely sucked.

I know everyone is saying to root for UConn, but it depends on your relationship and whether you want to keep that relationship. If it is a staff member on the bench, or the bench would know who gave you the seats, acting too crazy could piss someone off. Nothing they can do about it, but you may lose your chance of getting those sweet seats again and get your connection in some hot water.

I had a similar dilemma for a UConn game vs. a "blue blood" enemy at a neutral site. My connection got top seats from the opposing team's coach whom he had a relationship with. He knew that coach was not cool with his tix being used for a loud UConn (or any other opposing) fan. I didn't want to screw over my friend or lose my chance at future tickets, so I wore a UConn shirt under another shirt and quietly rooted for our team. I still get ridiculous seats from that friend. Not sure I still would if I went full Husky.
