Uconn in the wild

[DisabledVet]

Last year we were vacationing in the Orlando Florida area. While driving our GMC Yukon with “1 UCONN” Illinois plates a car pulled along side and started honking and pointing to their UConn hat. Yesterday we parked at a Florida restaurant and a woman approached me about our plates. She said she was there having dinner with her friend that is a massage therapist for Geno.

there seem to be a lot of us in Dunedin, FL. Frequently meeting other UConn fans around town.

Where do you watch the games?

I was at the gym years ago on the bench wearing a Huskies hat and the guy on the bench next to me asked what do you think of the team this year? This was early in Hurley's tenure and I said it's a lot better than the last couple of years with Ollie. He told me he was a walk on at UConn under Ollie.

Before he started doing tv, I saw Emeka on the streets of midtown Manhattan once every 2 years for like a decade.

Plenty of fans in the Myrtle Beach area.

No story but this is a pretty cool thread.
Go Huskies.

This past October, Top of Innsbruck in Austria met a UConn fan huddled over a beer. I also saw the nicest Dunkin’ Donuts of all time there. The donuts there were fresh, elaborate, and my guess is that they used ingredients that comply with European food regulations (less poisonous).

No longer live in CT but every time I go back I'll be in a Big Y and get the rush of seeing another Conn fan until I realize I'm literally in Connecticut. Happens for the first 1-2 hours when I'm back in state. Like a dog with no object permanence
