    Hartford Athletic - 2024

    Opening Day today and I'm looking forward to a good season. Then again, I felt the same way last year and they came in DFL. But last year (to paraphrase Rare Earth) I put my faith in Tab Ramos and Tab Ramos let me down. This year it's another re-set but this one might take. HA has a new CEO...

    OT: Betting the Daytona 500

    I'm posting this because I don't want to win alone. I'm 1-2 in betting the Daytona 500 with an ROI of $430. I had a real shot last year at 30-1 until a late caution. Then again, there's always a late caution. My angle is to find a high-qualifying balkie driving a Ford. Fords do well at Daytona...

    Very buggy today

    FWIW, This site has been very buggy to me tonight. I'm not having issues elsewhere. My screen has changed to a phony looking google screen and my anti-virus has displayed a couple of alerts.

    Satan is coming back to MSG

    To help celebrate the last UConn-SJU game in MSG, the man who popularized scapegoating UConn fans, Mike Jarvis will be in attendance. It will be his first time back at St. Johns since he was fired. He'll be there for a reunion of their 1998-99 Elite 8 team. A team that lost to UConn twice.

    NY Post driveby

    From Vac's Whacks @DBonet59: The Johnnies being this relevant again sure will make the winter months a lot more enjoyable. Lifts the entire Big East up to its former glory. Now if only Syracuse was still in and Georgetown gets it together … @MikeVacc: We’ll know the Johnnies are really back...

    Ticket Alert

    Buy your tickets now, whatever venue. The price will never be lower than it is right now. For instance today, the place was packed to the rafters against a cupcake. It's a blowout and UConn has a series a great plays just before the 12min timeout. Guy next me says, people will start leaving now...

    Soccer is the best sport

    I'm watching the NBA in-season tournament and start thinking how MLB starts all their games on the last day at the same time and how futbol players had to show football players how to kick a ball and I wonder. What has soccer gotten from American sports? Oh yeah, VAR. Thanks a lot.

    No

    I received an IM that said "No". How can I find what post you are talking about? Honestly, I know I was deleted but why? I love you guys but the goalposts are always in flux.

    Good things happen when Andre Jackson is on your team! The Freak signs through 2027-28.

    Away Game Tickets

    Here's a check of the emergency email system. I just received one saying away game tickets are now on sale through the UConn ticket office. It says Husky Athletic Fund exclusive. I think that means you have to have paid a seat donation.

    OT: For Art Lovers

    Edvard Munch's "The Scream" is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Have you ever seen another Munch painting? I hadn't until this weekend. The Clark in in Williamstown, MA has a new exhibit on Munch and it is really something. This is the only stop in the US for the show and many of...

    Twitter Question

    I hate Twitter, I will never sign up. Overnight I am blocked from reading the tweets that are posted. I get sent to a "Join Twitter" screen. Can anyone confirm that's a new policy from them?

    Tour de France - 2023

    Starts this Saturday! In Spain, no less. I'm a casual cycling fan but I watch every second of this. Any potential surprises?

    Joggers on the road

    I'm driving on a slightly narrower road yesterday and see a jogger up ahead. Since a bunch of cars are coming the other way I slow down. It's an older guy and he's not going very fast. Turns out it was Paul Pasqualoni! God bless 'im, it was 80 degrees and very humid. I'm not jogging in that, I'm...

    OT: Travelers Championship 2023

    Did you see that Jon Rahm committed to the Travelers? That makes 6 out of the Top 6 to do so. It's has to be the best field ever. And the scuttlebutt is that it my become an "elevated" event more than just this year. In the annals of good hires, Nathan Grube has to be at the top of the list. I...

    PC Season tix

    Perhaps this is being discussed in a thread I'm ignoring, but did you see PC announced they sold out their season tickets? While admirable, it sill has a whiff of "your're not the boss of me." Kinda like when the Bees started.

    OT: Hartford Wolf Pack make the Playoffs!

    Nothing like playoff hockey and the Pack made it in this year. It's been awhile, the last time they won a series David Pastrňák was playing for Providence. That was also the year the Pack had to play to home games in Worcester because the circus was in town. If you like hockey, you'll like...

    Quick 2014 Recap

    One narrative that I'm seeing that needs to be quashed is that UConn wins in years when the top seeds lose and this somehow lessens their achievements. In 2014, the top seeds lost because Bazz and UConn beat them. The 2 seed in the East lost to UConn in the second round. In the Elite 8, UConn...

    We're the only game in town

    The last start of the afternoon session makes us the only game being played for most of our second half. That would be a good time to put on a show. This NCAA listing puts the game time at 4:20pm. I'm thinking 4:20 on St. Patrick's Day says party time!

    Wanna Get Away?

    I recently noticed that Mohegan Sun is giving away weekday rooms for the winter. I booked a Deluxe King for the night last week wondering what the catch was and there was no catch. The room bill was $0.00. I hadn't received a notification about this deal so I'm putting this out as an FYI.

    Ewing Theory

    Anyone hear of the Ewing Theory of basketball? It's been around for about 25 years and had it's roots in Storrs. Has the Ewing Theory come back to Gampel?

    The UConn Brand Conquers Portland

    Admit it, having the women dominate their tournament the way the men did was great for both teams and the brand as whole. UConn basketball means team ball, great coaching, star power and defense. They have it all. People who follow CBB outside our bubble know what the UConn brand is. Like this...

    Rev Up The Bandwagon

    I'm watching winning time tonight and I had an ear worm that mixed UConn and the call of Secretariat's Belmont: " UConn by 10, UConn by 14, UConn by 18! UConn is playing like a tremendous machine! Whatever your personal version of "Royce White gives me nightmares" is; take it a give it a good...

    2022 Cricket World Cup

    We're out of the knockout stages and into the semis of the T20 World Cup. What the cricket world wants to see is an India-Pakistan final. Their group stage match was perhaps the best of all time, India completing a huge comeback to win on the last ball. Next day, the guy that sold me a Powerball...

    Last Days of Hartford Hank

    I'm not going to miss the POS. First UConn Hockey puts BCU in the RVM and now UConn Football. BCU was outcoached and outmanned. It took awhile but despite all that backstabbing, BCU's worst nightmare has come true. They are now the 2nd best program in New Engalnd. And all it took was a UConn...

    The only two 4-0-0 teams in the current poll are playing in the XL Center on Friday! I'm going to try to make it. I ain't afraid of no rebar.

    Free Sun playoff tickets!

    I can't go to the game tomorrow and I'm not happy about it. We even had 6:30 reservations at TAO! Since I don't know any other Sun fans and Ticketmaster isn't allowing resale right now; I thought I'd offer them up here. I have 2 aisle seats in Sec 12 and they are free but they also have a string...

    Cooking Tips / Hacks

    I know we have a ton of amateur chefs here, I'd like to start a thread on tips you use in the kitchen. I do OK but I've kind of reached a plateau and I'm interested to see what others are up to. I'll start with the suggestion to have an extra set of ice cube trays to use for things other than...

    That's a pretty tough home OOC slate so far. I'm surprised NC State agreed to it. Please move if this is being discussed in a thread I missed.

    RIP Pudge

    I'm sorry to let everyone know, but Boneyard legend Tim "Pudge" White has died. It was esophageal cancer and it came about quickly. It was just last November he was planning on coming to a FB game but had to postpone because he didn't feel well. He was still counting on coming to the Spring...
