Boneyard 8/8/1998 to ...

[mihusky]

I joined around 2000 when I moved my family to Michigan. I remember the posted news items from Nan, Fishy who kept people in line and who was a source of daily amusement/entertainment, ThirtyThree for his basketball insights, wisdom from early founder Temery. Many other handles that are too many to list. I haven't posted in more than a decade and I only occasionally lurk. Bought season ticket strip for Gampel in support of the new Hurley era. Peace.

 

[Fishy]

Was it Bucky who died a few years ago?

Steve (AussieCuz) is not even close to dead. Bucky did pass away.

I think maybe it was DogDeacon who passed away.

He’s like 45 and still not close to dead.

 

[Fishy]

Don't remember who suggested the name Boneyard but I suggested the domain UConnfan.com, and someone replied a few minutes later saying he had reserved it.

This.

You suggested it, Frank registered it.

I still have the domain name.

This.

I still have the domain name.

What is the connection between the Boneyard and syracusefan.com?

And, if there is any, can we shut them down? Thank you.

What is the connection between the Boneyard and syracusefan.com?

My sister served on the CT Audubon Board w/Joyce, and I'd like the dots connected too.

They both end in .com.

Syracuse.com was a hell hole. We already had a script running for the 'yard, so doing the same at CTO's request was no problem. Syracusefan was born.

Was Chief really JaCkSoN?

Chief has always been Chief00 handle. It’s been a fun ride. Thank you Jim Calhoun for giving us so much joy and Tom & Fishy for providing us a forum to express it.

A bit of boneyard history.

Boneyard inception?

How did you first hear about the Boneyard?

20th Anniversary Commemorative t shirt TBA (Frank D'Angelo, send me an email. Yours in on the house):

Anyone here in the t-shirt printing business?

I was one of the early wanderers, moving from one site location to another, until Tom found a permanent home for “The Boneyard”. Lived in CT at the time, now retired to NC (can’t understand why any retiree would remain in CT unless they had serious family ties).

Trying to remember what my handle was back in the day. Somehow thinking it was Huskypup, but there have been a large number oh Yeung Ling’s consumed since the move to NC, so who knows. Play golf usually 4 times a week. Played in a number of Boneyard Opens and met quite a few Boneyarders along the way. Long time season ticket holder for both BBall, men’s and women’s, and Football, since 1976.

Mostly lurk now with an occasional post. Come north once a year to catch a few games. Tough finding a period of time with relevant BBall games to justify a trip north. I do catch the games at ECU.

Found the guy who doesn't like pizza!

Found the guy who doesn't like pizza!

Good point, although we do have a New Jersey transplant who does a credible job, not quite like CT.

BBQ has helped ease the pain, and the NC Fresh Catch seafood helps.

Mau, properly known as Brother Mau, was the A player on the BYC force of nature known as Team Fishy.
Team Fishy: it’s a state of mind.

brother swami, Deep and Fishy how was it we never were awarded a title when we seem to have been on or near the top so often? I ask seriously because #1 I mostly forget LOL and 2 there were so many "updated rulings" as we finished with the lowest score, gross of course. Not always mind you there were other solid teams but none with the overall skills of ours . I mean bunkers with the enemy lurking, Ashtons, Red Stripes, Rolling Rocks, shots of all kinds aside we had fun out there unlike the pansies at Quarry Ridge.

I sat a few seats to Tom’s left at that Final Four in Houston. I figured he couldn’t care less who CaHusky was so didn’t introduce myself. I have to admit I did take a couple of pics when you weren’t looking Tom.

 

[mauconnfan]

Not sure if anyone posted but GOUC had several hilar

Ha ha. Nope. Still alive and well.

And wearing God awful clothing still. But a great guy for sure nonetheless.

How far did you have to back up to take the pictures?

Props to @swami7774 and Pat (swoooooon) for tipping those Rolling Rocks!!

I'm not going to read four pages, but I'll ask this: Roll call: Who had a 77-74 window cling?

Still do, on each of my vehicles.

That’s not me. I’m in the back left over Swami’s shoulder.

Sorry. I think I made that same mistake years ago when Alex posted the photo.
