Gonna need free tickets and a free Jeep Wrangler to get me to Storrs tonight. Maybe it’ll be full of students? Oh the only empty seats at the Cincy game were in the student sections?

USF 57
UConn 51

Just donated my lower level tickets. Hope some student gets to use them

 

[Adios]

Range Rovers are also good for the trip.

 

[Robertelamin]

Anyone remember the UConn Pitt game that was free to students?

 

[whaler11]

I’m not sure I can even get out of my driveway.

Safe passage to those who travel.

I was there. 20 minutes of the most electric basketball i ever saw. Then 20 minutes of rule #1. I still hold a grudge againt Rudy Gay to this day because of that game.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

They'd have to get me a helicopter ride, free food and beer pass for me to contemplate going

I live in Tolland so don't miss many games. Snow doesn't stop me but this freezing rain right now! It's a last minute call.

 

[Northbound]

I remember a game against UNC in Gampel ages ago where UCONN boot stomped the Heels and while it wasn't bad and the beginning, but it snowed like crazy during the game all the way home to upstate NY that night.

Edit; was also the night of the tuck game if I remember correcrtly

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Is there really a concern about a 4 per person limit?

 

[wethyhusky]

This athletic department is so ridiculous. Give out free tickets to a terrible game...fine. Charge me $2 to transfer and $2 for my kids who are students to print them out? Each of these stupid nickel and dime fees leading me not to renew in the future.

 

[nadav]

Is it the $2 fees OR the awful basketball team?

Worried about scalpers, and secondary market sales of the Terrence Samuel bobble heads.

Is it snowing bad up that way? Nothing but rain in Stamford. Sounds like a mix back home in northern Ffld Cty

Potato.....po-ta-to....

Wish it was snow, it's freezing rain right now. Driveway, sidewalk, trees coated in ice.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

How about free parking as well?

It snowed like half an inch and then its poured rain for hours here.

I just went outside and it’s more slush than frozen but if the temp drops 3-5 degrees it will be a frozen mess.

It is expected to be 45 degrees in Mansfield at game time. Don't see any problem driving up from Southington. Surprised Whaler is such a snow flake.

Temps are going up. I just drove twenty miles round trip for lunch and it was worse on the way back than it was on the way there because of the change from snow to freezing rain/slush, but the temps are going to start rising precipitously each hour for the next few hours so the road conditions should improve markedly every hour.

Not exactly the conclusion my office was hoping I'd reach though; they've been clamoring for me to close early. I told them it will be safer driving at 5:00 than it is now.

Yep I just looked. Looks warm enough for me to not shovel the slush. Executive decision made.

 

[Fishy]

My hour commute took about three hours this morning, but it really does seem like things are improving.

I think the cold is supposed to return later on tonight and that might make things tricky after the game.

 

[sledog]

not on TV?
