St. Joes and Nova.... Buffalo with a car full of students
ISU and MSU.. The Garden.
Fla and Kentucky... Gampel.

Yeah, it was a pretty fun month.
 
After a morning puking after a party for the FLA game I decided I was staying in for the championship game. Joined my peeps on the Chat.

My mojo:

Playa Del Carmen, MX . . . with a Kansas fan/Kentucky hater . . . UCan UConn in the Ucatan!!
 
Uconn actually broke my bad mojo streak at Chicago Sams. I have seen the Patriots lose the last two AFC championship games there. We are going to Buffalo Wild Wings when the get to the AFC championship this upcoming January :)

Kentucky - Dallas (BoomerJacks pre-game & Hyatt post-game)

Expensive, but very satisfying month
 
I either have to be at the game or home by myself. I am just not a realistic, self contained, rational person who can handle company of any likes when the game is either close, on the fritz, or being ruined by the refs unless I am with exact equal diehards with the same pro-UCONN values as myself (hence every once in a while I'll be with my brother for the game). Which actually means I am probably a lot like many of you on here. It has to do with the fact that I need to see every last second of the game, witness every screen, dissect every play call, watch every match up I can, coach my brains out, etc. But many of my close friends don't share that same passion and don't follow UCONN sports as much as I do and therefore would simply distract me during games, say things I didn't want to hear, ruin the mojo some how or just simply get on my nerves...(Legitimately I can't take conversation that aside from during the commericials that doesn't discuss the play that just happened, ie. don't talk to me about your girlfriend right now dude I don't give a rats ass at this current moment).

So in conclusion I watched all of the games on my couch, some with my wife and 9 month old (when things were going well) some by myself (early to mid St. Joes and early Villanova)......I tell ya when we were winning though and this dad was chanting and cheering I got some of the biggest smiles I've ever seen out of my daughter, she is hooked already!

I watched the last 4 games in the same seat in my same local bar. They let me bring in my own Rolling Rocks because they didn't have any. For the KY game I faced a dilemma. I went to the 2011 FF with my lady friend and we had a great time. I knew I had to go to the bar for this year's final, but I didn't like the idea of my sweetie watching the game at home alone, especially since we were together for the previous NC. The problem was I had never allowed her to come to this bar before (because I need at least one thing for myself). I decide to make a exception for the mojo and have her join me. The fact that we won and the world didn't end from my two world's colliding proves I made the right decision.
 
MSU BWW in Wethersfield
FL BWW in Wethersfield
KY BWW in Wethersfield

Had a great time there and would not mess with the mojo

St Joe's- Caesar's Palace bar
Nova- Las Vegas airport bar
Iowa St- Friend's house
Mich St- CC's O'Briens
Florida-My house(upstairs w/friends)

So Sunday night I realized I had watched each game at different place and I was trying to figure out a new place for championship game. I finally decided I watched the Florida game upstairs with company. Monday night it was just going to be me and my wife so I could watch downstairs and I could count it as a different place.

Did you switch to downstairs due to a superstition, I mean lucky charm?
 
St. Joe's - Brooklyn, NY at my apt with one of my roommates.

Couldn't get into gampel, real mad... but ended up watching in ITE 80 (a full 200 person lecture hall) while drinking beer. Epic college experience if I do say so myself.

All games at home. If I can't be there live I want peace, sofa plenty of beer and food. I don't want waitresses, bartenders or any distractions.

Drank the same beer every game and switched up wings and ribs. And yes I did pack a mini cooler to minimize trips to the fridge.
 
St Joes- my couch
Nova-my couch
Iowa St-my couch
MSU- sick all day, and felt ok by game time and felt like a billion bucks after the game of course lol, I almost put on green pants then i was like no I can't wear that its bad mojo, so I grab a pair of brown pants which were pilled in my dirty laundry
Florida- my couch
Kentucky- My brothers house which happens to be in Providence, he's a big uconn fan too btw, my gf and his fiancé were both sleeping, and we purposely woke both of them up and our excuse was Uconn won, we had a little to drink to say the least.

I always pace back and forth during the game, I was a freaking nervous wreck.

I hear ya, I always want space especially tournament games, i like to be in the zone. Sometimes I wait to long to get something to eat and I'm just like it I can't eat and just wait till the games over.

I was at the Doubletree Hotel in Nashville watching the game in the lobby with the UConn women. The game ended and I high fived Stephanie Dolson and Kia Stokes. Then the women's team led the fans in UConn cheers. Awesome!

...at my gfs father's house in the Bronx (even though she is away at UConn). Me and her father have bonded a ton thanks to Connecticut basketball. for every game we would order some Dominos. I miss it already!
 
Watched championship at - appropriately enough - Mutt Lynch's in Newport Beach CA. Crowd was split about 50/50 and Rowdy! Won a $100 bet with a Kentucky alum and immediately spent the winnings buying a round for the 10+ maniacs that were at my table......... Kentucky fans, UCONN fans, clueless fans...............

You heard it here first, Mr. Delany. UConn is the New York market.
