Uconn fans outside northeast

Flying the flag at 7,000 ft up in the San Juans in SW Colorado. People who work in the local hardawre store and a couple other places are from CT, and have struck up conversation when I'm wearing UConn gear - mainly girls or women who are aware of the womens' BB team. But haven't yet run into another local alum (talked to one visiting and skiing at Telluride once).

I just moved to Durango in September. Loving this area.

In 7 hrs, I'll be on the yoga mat in Logan Street Market in Louisville, KY.

Over the past 15 months with a primarily close-to-home & light recreational life, I've been wearing an extended visitor's limited wardrobe with long & short-sleeved tees, sweatshirt, hoodie, and baseball cap while shopping Costco/TJs/Aldi/Kroger, morning walking club at the Zoo or across the Big Four Bridge at sunsets & full moonrise, several branches of the YMCA & LFPL, and traversing the maturely-treed streets of Audubon Park with or without granddaughter and/or daughter.

90% of what's around me is UK & UofL gear, though see a Marquette flag up in the neighborhood in the past week.

Whatever small number of comments gets generated by my clothes is friendly. The best was good-natured teasing by an Emergency Department nurse who introduced himself by saying with a smiling nod at my shirt, "I don't know if I can attend to you, sir," then laughing with me in before setting me up nicely in an examination/procedure room in early December.

I did take myself off-route once when I'd come upon & joined a group bike ride in NuLu, but then broke off to unsuccessfully chase a Jeep with a Husky cover on the rear-mounted spare tire.

OK. I was at the Trop; but I am 2 miles from Minute Maid and 3 from NRG. There. That's better.
Tourney game day + St. Patrick's Day + Friday. Man...still a little rough around the edges.

I live in Glendale Arizona and I have my UConn flag in the TV room window. All my neighbors have commented about it.

I'll be in Fountain Hills this week! My in-laws are huge sports fans and NDSU alum and former season ticket holders but have adopted UConn as one of their favorite programs, thanks to me.

As boomers, naturally, they watch the women's team more, but we'll be locked in on Thursday afternoon.

Any recommendations in the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Mesa area for this week? Or, any cool places to check out within an hour drive? @AZHuskiePop, you too!

Hickory, NC. The locals tell you to say you are an NC State fan if you are not sure if it is a UNC or Duke crowd… screw that.. go huskies!

Hickory is a great small city. Two of my BILs live in the area. I've probably downed 30 milkshakes from the Cookout in Hickory over the years. I'll hit you up if I'm ever in town and there's a UConn game going on.

If you ever need a decent mechanic or a used car, hit me up!

I used to be a UConn fan in Northern California. Ran in to almost no UConn fans, but several Whalers fans. Kind of strange really. But I found very few big fans of college sports at all.

Here in metro Boston, plenty of UConn alumni and fans but they aren't very organized. UConn Alumni Association has a watch location at "The Greatest Bar" in Boston, which is a terrible bar and hard to get to for anyone not in the city itself. We need a metro-west group.

The Alumni Association hosted last year for the hockey East weekend at this bar. We loved it, but we were staying at the Marriott across from TD. I was hoping to go back this year. Next year!

Only 30 milkshakes? That's not even all of the flavors, is it?

Sounds good! Man, their milkshakes are insane
 
We are about an hour south west of Orlando. Live in a 55+ plus community in the unicorporated town of Poinciana.

A lot of UConn fans live here. Saw 3 fans this morning at the Farmer's Market. Had my UConn hat and jacket on, of course.

Soon to be a Charleston, SC resident (moving from Boston) any local Huskies around?

I'm going to be with a few other UConn alumni in Charleston/Folly Beach this weekend. Is there a good spot to watch the UConn game? If we advance, heading to Houston on Sunday.
 
OG Husky in the Baja - Todos Santos, Mexico, BCS. I go back to Field House days. Half the team were fraternity bros...Tom Penders, Bobby Staak, McCrocklin, Bill Holowaty, John Crisp etc. This t-shirt I've been wearing a couple of weeks really needs to be washed but it's got the mojo so stand back.

My 2011 and 2014 post national championship game routine consisted of me running up and down Bardstown road with my Husky flag screaming " U. C. O. N. N. ...... UConn, UConn , UConn !!!! " until I had no voice . A bit older now so I'll be at home with my wife for this final four . If anyone hears a UConn chant from a third floor patio in old Louisville ...... It's us.
Is my wife a fan ? Before she does anything physically demanding like tennis , hiking , digging or lifting weights , she watches ten minutes of Stanley Robinson dunks and just yells. I love her
 
A Kansas fan saw my husband a me sitting on the balcony having our evening beverage when she stopped to thank us, profusely, for UConn’s whupping of Arkansas. When I wear my UConn tees around Orlando someone stops me to say they’re from Connecticut or a Big East fan rooting for UConn.

My tip for living in Mexico is find a bar you like with a few TVs, become a regular, tip well. Hell, do that they'll let you watch hockey.
 
Here in FAU Country for the week. Tomorrow morning Jalen and the Owls have their sendoff to Houston about 5 minutes from me. Grabbing some FAU swag on Campus but the UConn apparel is always here and starts rotating in tomorrow.
