Who was the guy with the cigar behind the bench.

[Palatine]

Just before tip off they show Ollie standing in front of the bench. Behind him is an old dude with a cigar in his mouth. Not smoking, but holding a stogie between his lips.

My thought, I would like to be him. Great seats, opening night, cigar, that's good stuff.

I do occasionally hallucinate but I really saw this.

I thought i saw that too...but I just assumed it was you Big D

Seriously though....he looked like the coolest person in an arena full of cool cats.

I love cigars but never understood the appeal of holding an unlit one in your mouth for hours. See that stuff in Vegas all the time.

Glad to see he was able to use my seats.

I hear we had Tevin Mack until he met that guy.

I don't know who he is specifically. But I do know the family who have those seats. They are great people who have been very generous to UConn over the years. Since the people I know were around him I am going to assume he was a guest of theirs.

Sometimes a cigar isn't just a cigar.

Isn't there a law against leaking basketball success secrets out of Connecticut?

Over 65, Check. Looks miserable, Check. Not wearing UConn colors, Check. Wishing he was at a woman's game, we can assume so. That is your typical UConn fan who sits in the lower level of Gampel.

Guy kinda looks like the man to be honest.

Hand sitter. Hopefully he writes big checks at least.

I have to give you a like because it describes a prevailing viewpoint of the near court fans even if it is an exaggeration. My guess is the guy is miserable because he has to hold the cigar in his mouth unlit for several hours.
