Tonight, I met The Undefeated ...

The location is known for being far away from everything and the dining hall was weak. Somehow, it also seemed like a lot of weirdos got bunched together down there. I never lived there but the reputation is strong.

Well, I'd be lying if I said that the population in East Campus wasn't slightly more eclectic than the rest of the campus demographic. But the "weirdos" population is greatly overstated. If anything, it just suffers from being a little more quiet and having a little more pot...

Coach Diaco at BWW in Milford made the NH Register. I haven't seen pics, but I think there are some good pics of the event in today's paper 6/30)

I lived in Buckley my first two years. Was in the UCMB and was a music guy so if you think East had some odd folks, you've seen nothing. Not only did we have the music majors but we also had the art majors and drama majors and the South Tower had the honors floor. I loved living there but it was always an experience! However, I would never trade those two years for another two living somewhere "normal" like Alumni, Towers, Northwest, or the Jungle....

Amen to that!

Also, I used to date a girl in Shippee, so I was able to get the flavor of the southeast end of campus...

first time long time...

I met Coach Diaco last night at BWW as well. very down to earth guy- he gave me a "bro shake" while introducing myself. He talked about high character kids on his team and not caring about the star system on scout/rivals. He walked us through his recruitment process making sure that the kids have no issues off the field- he does his homework! Then we talked about how the kids on the team have changed in the last 6 months physically an mentally. For example- His starting QB lost 30 pounds since Dec! ( I think it's gotta be Cochran). He also told me uconn is in the developmental mode. finally I told him that the uconn brand needs to grow in stamford- he said were gonna change that. ooo and we talked about Louis lunch in new haven and pepes/modern/Sally's/Bar pizza. I think he was joking but he was gonna try to hit them up next week before the north haven BWW event. He took some pics and took time out to sign some gear for us! He's the man! and I truly believe that we'll be a better football team this year! Uconn is doing a great job making him the face of the program ( on the uconn schedules at Dunkin Donuts, doing the BWW events, going on channel 3, speaking at the bball games) . I can't wait for the first game of the year!

wow, so HCBD was pretty honest with me before the season began while speaking about the fball program being in a developmental mode. Thinking back, I didn't realize he meant that literally!
