Down to brass tacks….

My family and I will pray to the sweet baby Jesus for you.

God, that’s cruel.

I have already said a Rosary and will look for a Mass on line.

Funny story about 1999. I was there and after the semi final game vs Ohio St me and my friends got totally drunk and were out until 2AM. Being a strong Catholic I needed to fulfill my Sunday obligation of going to Sunday Mass. I woke up at 7:30am to attend Mass at 8. I am still drunk when I walk into the Church and see the 3 nuns Calhoun had befriended. I think that this a good sign. Then the usher comes by to collect $ and he has a name tag. Honest, the guys name is James Calhoun!! I am not making this up. After that I was sure we had some divine intervention going on.

My mom and fellow season ticket holder (right to my left, along with my dad and 4 other friends) wasn’t able to make it to any of the tournament games this year due to travel.

She sends me these types of photos before and after every game.

I’ll be wearing these bad boys tonight. I forgot to put them on Saturday and when we were down my son jumped up and reminded me to put them on. Then we came back and won! Lots of mojo going on!

Been sticking to Miller Lite. Had a nice turnout last night in my garage. View attachment 99137

I didn’t know they made TVs that small. Spend some money on yourself. Bills can wait.

This one might go BaiBai to the Food & Drink forum

I'm pleased to see this thread title because the more I work with Gen-Zers the more I see this written as "brass tax".

Who here will actually go out and get a Rolling Rock and some wings for tomorrow night?

Some of us have done this five times.

100% doing it tomorrow.

Every game

 

[DRBackup]

The one thing I can attest to is that over 20+ years, Rolling Rock has not gotten one iota better.

Its only harder to find them in bottles. All I can find these days is cans.

 

[temery]

Edibles and Lorazepam with air fryer wings.

Rolling Rock is the worst. Ten years ago I told the proprietor of the local watering hole about the mojo and asked him to get some RR for the tournament. He said sure and after we won he still had over a case of bottles left in the cooler. No one else that came in the bar ordered it. He says, "JFC Waquoit, now I'm stuck with a cooler full of crap." I agreed to buy the rest of them, but only one per visit. That's all I could take.

The mojo Gods are most pleased by the most painful sacrifices.

Edit: I am required by mojo to watch the championship on the smallest screen possible.

UConn loses every tournament game I watch on a big screen. It's uncanny.

The ride from my house down to the shore(Jersey) to our late night watering holes was exactly a case of Rolling Rock nips long, 2 guys consuming. Stopped to get rid of overflow out in the wilds of Howell Twp, dark as hell. My buddy screamed, had run into an electric cow fence!!

Good thing he didn't piss onto the fence

Steak fajitas worked during the final four, so they will be eaten again tomorrow night. The wife invited some friends over for pizza and to watch the game, so I will need to think of a non-crazy way to explain why I’m eating leftover fajitas instead….

Sheeeeeyit.

Watch it on your phone !

I'll be wearing this for the game. Still fits! Actually, it fits again after a bit of a hiatus.

Always put the mojo above yourself. Well done, Marat.

I never got on board with Rolling Rocks. I bought a UConn hoodie in ‘99. I wore it to Rookies where I met some of the Boneyarders for the first time (It sucks asking random groups if they are Boneyarders). UConn was facing New Mexico game. Their star, Kevin? Long scored 1 point. 1! I also wore the hoodie in Tampa even though it wasn’t hoodie weather there. I still have it. It’s not in great shape but I’ll be wearing it like always tonight. I also have a Big East championship mug from 1990. I thought I could collect more whenever the Huskies won the BE. Nope. Once UConn was winning National titles you couldn’t find them anymore. I drink my morning coffee using that mug when the games are big. That has been done!

 

[Deepster]

Sheeeeeyit.

You done good so far, kid. Don’t screw the pooch now.

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

I was working on an emergency mojo meme, just in case we needed extra ammunition (hopefully it won't be needed). My idea required a Purdue logo. So I did a "purdue" search -- and look what the results were, the Boneyard references!

 

[SL Husky]

Watch this for some more mojo straight from the '99 team when they were on their way to take care of some business:

 

[AzHusky]

I had this at the Fiesta bowl and now the final.
