One week until Maryland

[UConnSwag11]

where are the spots to pregame? Stout is where we'll try and get to. Who's bringing the Ricky Moore face, the #slickrickfaveondemfolks, and #bullyseason signs? CAN'T WAIT!!

 

[MexicoHusky]

I will be there. It's part of my biennial trip back to the east coast.

I can't wait to see the matchups. Brimah vs Stone should be fun. The guys we really need to worry about from Maryland are Jake Layman and Melo Trimble. I am not impressed with what I have seen from Stone and Carter. Brimah, Miller, Facey, and Enoch are more than enough to contain those 2 and even outplay them. We need to key in on both Layman and Trimble. Layman reminds me of a Giffey/Daniels combination with good hops to boot. Need to contain Melo Trimble's penetration. I don't like having Gibbs on him. Jalen will be needed immensely in this game to guard Trimble at the 3 point line and to prevent penetration. D-Ham needs to be ready for the defensive challenge against Layman.

Layman and another white guy were annoying and chippy when we played them in '13. Seems layman has been there forever

Big game tonight to see how Maryland plays

 

[UConnSwag11]

Less than a week. Can't wait. I'm hoping for a big turnout. Any idea on the percentage? Stout for 6?

 

[Silk31]

Will be there as well will have half Huskies and half Twerps crew. Definitely hoping we have a bigger turnout than the UMD fans...Stout will be packed out as per usual

 

[UConnSwag11]

Any students going?

Stone is improving with playing time and Carter looked good against NC, a strong player. We have our hands full.

Figures you weren't impressed with Carter. Watched the other night knowing your watchful eye would be so wrong.

I'm just 3 weeks past the hip replace surgery. While I'm starting to walk some distance, not sure if I'm ready for the ruff&tumble of a MSG crowd. But I will be sucking down the Manhattans at home if I stay in.

Sounds like it's going good for you. Continued luck!

I'm too old for this now. I used to be able to go to a 9:45 tip in the city, get home for 1:30 in the morning, and wake up for work the next day, but I can't handle that anymore sadly. I'll just watch at home with a glass of warm milk and nap at halftime.

I have to laugh. I am the same way. In fact I groaned when the seeding came out for BOA. 9:30 start against Michigan. AND I stayed at the Coral Towers with the Arena down the hall. My son laughed at me. With respect of course. Maryland game I will be sitting in my new family room. With comfortable recliners. It sucks getting older. Same with Monday Night Football.

I'm not even that old, still have another 9 months before I'm 30.

Thanks. I'm walking 1+ miles already, and using the cane mainly to gain advantage at crosswalks - and perhaps to club vagrants &/or roudy MD fans should I actually go to MSG.

Pop some percocets and man up

Get a wheelchair with spikes attached to the wheels. Maryland fans won't get within 5 feet of you.

Fashion Forward Option:

I feel your pain. Although mine was a full knee replacement. Takes time. Just be careful at home. I found myself charging the TV with my pillow a number of times. Going straight was okay but taking that turn back, not so good.

30? Ahem, okay, moving right along. lol

I wish, but I have some weight I could stand to lose too.

I hear that knees are more complex and take longer to heal. I'm amazed that, after 3 weeks, I'm bombing around like I am. The 2-3 days after the op (I was supposed to leave hospital next day, but they kept me a second night because my BP dove to 50/30 after my first PT session - typical due to blood loss), I thought I was never going to get out of the hospital bed. I'll keep your anecdote about charging the TV in mind.

 

[UConnSwag11]

will they be serving alcohol since it's a jimmy v event?

 

[Giddyup5]

Man I wish we were playing them in January. I don't think our defensive rotations are ready for a big game like this. Not really worried about our offense, but our defense is terrible at the moment. Hope I'm wrong.
