Hmmm... am I the only one going to the parade? I think Parkville Market or Pratt St should have organized something for post parade time.

Who will be there tomorrow? Where will everyone post up? A boneyard section would be cool!

So a few hours before we played St. Mary’s, my brother called inviting me to my nephew’s birthday party, 11:30-1:30 on the Saturday before Easter. I responded with “oh man I’d love to, but that’s right around the time they’re gonna be having the victory parade for when UConn wins the national championship.” And we laughed and joked about how awesome that would be.

So here I am a few days after getting back from Houston, and I know I need to do the right thing….be a good uncle, honor my word, and show my nephew how to prioritize the important things in life.

Which is all to say…I’ll be making a “Happy Birthday Nathan” sign to hold up at the parade. See you degenerates tomorrow.

Parade sign is ready. And yes, I realize we want him to be our coach in 2024. It’s a joke.

I have a "Top Dogs Again" sign that the Courant gave away at the 2014 parade and was going to bring that to the parade, but unfortunately I had it at my last job and when I left there put it in a box and when I just pulled it out it's all ripped. Darn.

How early do you think we need to get to the XL to get a good spot for the rally?

 

[jibsey]

For those out of state will it be streamed?

I’m wondering this same thing. What time are people getting there, or how early have people arrived in the past?

 

[CTBasketball]

11am probably hang out near XL then head to a bar, likely Goats game after.

I’ll be downtown around 10:45. Gonna hang out by Pratt/City Steam and check out the scene by the rally spot.

Already getting the feels. Big props to my wife for telling me that I’d be crazy to miss the parade for her brother’s 50th birthday party.
