UConn First Night

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Given your screename, anything to do with basketball has to be an upgrade from what you're used to.

I said the same thing and my buddy just laughed

Draymond can shoot it some, but Mamadou can get up and put it down! He just looks like he could be a real force on the boards and just dunking the crap out of the ball. That has a nice place in college basketball. He does have "something." Not sure what that is quite yet, but it is intriguing.

Obviously he's nowhere near as good as Draymond. But his shot is identical and his body and frame are almost identical.

I watched most of the video as best I could, but the Player of the Game (from a men's fan point of view) was Christian Vital. He danced pretty well, and he made a lot of baskets when the other Fab 5 whatever were clanking bricks. He was impressive.

If Vital is able to come in and give this team 10-15 solid minutes off the bench per game, that would be YUGE.

Draymond was chunky during most of his time in college

I get the feeling that Diallo is going to be at UConn next September and he'll still say there is no leader and everyone is equal.

Was a great atmosphere in Gampel tonight for a glorified pep rally.. Production is miles and miles ahead of what it was 5+ years ago.. dunk contest could def have been better done though

Got a few quick vids I'll post soon

Hopefully this gives a better idea of what it was like being in GP tonight

Wow that looks way better than what we saw on the live stream. Seems like Gampel was rocking.

So 6 people were talking about it?

Drummond circa 2010 did it better!

Sorry I missed it - not really - glad we can move on to real competitive basketball.
The distraction is over - Again, I am not knocking it for the casual fan or young kids - just not my thing.

I watched it but became disinterested, especially in the scrimmage. It was a playground pick em style with little action. Good for face recognition.

Now on to the real stuff.

Inquiring minds want to know. What separates the casual fan from a guru like Chief00 ? After 35 years of following the team, I am still unsure of my status.

Tempting to go there but I won't - we need all kinds of fans as I said in the past.

Very Trumpian of you.

Stop acknowledging chief. Can we get back to how was first night and any photos/videos?

Some people can't get away from seeing politics in everything

Sad you can't create voluntary interest in your posts, so you try to prohibit other free voluntary exchanges on a blog. This type of control tactic always fails on the internet.
