Tomorrow's game and weather

[aburks41]

UConn should look into this, providing free space with wifi for people attending games.

Anyone can use the library. Parking would be an issue though. Does anyone know what time the lots open up for 6:30 games?

Pretty sure you can use UConn Guest anywhere on campus like you would use in Gampel and anyone can walk in and use whatever space is available in the Union

I remember that game as me and my pops attended that game Us UConn fans really wanted that win after Nova blew out UConn in 95 the very first week that UConn every achieved the #1 ranking.

Correct. Lots of hype for the Ray and Kerry show. That was a huge game!

 

[wheelerdog]

Nova game in 96 got pushed back a day. However, that was a huge storm. That was a fun couple days outside waiting.

I think Ray Allen had a pogo stick dunk early in that game.

The wifi in Gampel sucks.

 

[Storrs South]

The wifi in Gampel sucks.

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...

Having not been there in like 6 years until I went to the Creighton game I thought it was actually decent. Maybe an anomaly.

 

[gampelcrazies]

Decided on taking a half day just so I don’t have to deal with it. The streak continues for me.

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.

It’s a couple inches, we live in Connecticut.

Man up.

Me +2

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

For anyone trying to use weather as an excuse, time's up. See you all at Gampel.

And if you still don’t want to go I’ll happily take your tickets

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

 

[CTBasketball]

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.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

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.

 

[HCCForever]

Reminds me of Elaine.

Open lot next to south garage. Up the hill behind the bookstore.

 

[XLCenterFan]

It’s not a dilemma. Openly cheer for UConn or else. I’ll be watching.

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.

 

[Dibbie]

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.

 

[aburks41]

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