whiteout mojo.....

Florida head coach was quoted saying "place was going nuts," and "great environment" in his post-game presser.

Even the walk back to the parking lots last night, the fans had an extra hop in their step. One guy screaming that orange is the worst color in the the rainbow. Hopefully going nuts in and out of the building will happen frequently.

Funny shirt. Re: the Fishy accusation... I met John in 2003 - and he is a witty, sarcastic, well-written guy - who cost me a keyboard I laughed so hard but.. he is not Napheesa or Robert Parish. The chief is a basketball beast. Although I have never met this person - I do know who it is - and they know a lot about this game - of which most of us are merely just fans. Pay attention - and you'll learn something. Hurley was the right choice... the fan base will soon begin to see that. Go Huskies!!

Lol, same thing happened to me. I got asked if I was going to sit down during UConn’s 9-0 first half run. I said “I don’t sit during big games” and continued standing and cheering until the final buzzer.

Then I sat down on the couch in my girlfriend’s house where we were watching the game.

I just get aggravated when I'm screaming, cheering, generally coming unhinged, no matter who we play and people turn around and give me a look like I'm insane. Uhhhhh I'm being a fan and you're at a basketball game. Happens to me at XL and Gampel.

we were in the lower section and this happened to us continuously...it was outrageous! we are playing a top 15 team and we cant stand during big moments...sheesh!

Not at all, most non students weren’t wearing white. Btw, what section were you in today?
Expand ...
I couldn’t use my tickets which I bought on Stub Hub. I wouldn’t have known this was a thing for today’s game. So I’m not sure how the non-students would have KNOWN...

Were you in Section 107? I saw the same thing happen to two guys there. I don't understand why anyone gets upset at the people who are actually on their feet supporting the team.

Move to Section 222. That section was up and down cheering the whole game. I've never been in section that loud in my life like yesterday. It was an honor being there. I know its further away from the court and I don't have season tickets, but many in that section do.

Custom t-shirts is taking like-whoring to a whole 'nother level.

Chief has nothing on you. This is like meta-Chiefin'.
Expand ...
Please. @August_West could teach master's classes on like-whoring. He's just embracing technology and staying ahead of the curve. Don't hate the player...
 
what was up with the handful of people leaving during Vital's free throw shots at the end? The game was still very much up in the air. Florida could of easily come down and nail a 3 to send it into overtime.

My friends and I were in 218 all wearing white and our section was pretty loud minus the few UF fans around and the 2 UF fans in front of us. Haha

Wearing a black Bears jersey to a UConn whiteout deserves scorn. Especially when you know your seats are behind the bench and a likely camera shot.
 
Watch the Fishy is Chief00 shirt used to maximum advantage when flashing it at Scottie Lewis and getting him to miss FT.

Sorry for partying. I just want to win.

Are you sure you went to Gampel for the game? I don’t even remember the last time I went to a game that was that loud at Gampel/XL. Last time I heard a crowd so loud for a UConn game was Elite Eight 2014.
Expand ...
I was at game Sunday. It was loud but dunno if it was louder than XL for zona game last year. Great atmosphere tho. And yes I love old people but God sometimes they watch the UConn games as if they are at the Bushnell for a play - get out your damn Seat and get into it for Christ sake! If You can’t stand up and get rowdy in the last five minutes with a nationally ranked team coming into Gampel maybe you should not be there. No offense but....

The crowd was great especially the students. But yeah. You are not wrong. Rooting hard is actually discouraged by not just fans, but ushers, especially down low.
