The kids in line
got free Peps last night Meacham. I am jealous

Ah, Sgt. Peps
I’ll never remember being so disappointed with Connecticut pizza the first time I had Sgt. Peps. Great chicken fingers, though.

I live in the pizza capital of the world: North Jersey. I know my ‘za. New Haven’s OK, just OK.

Nope, sorry.
You live in Chicago, a place with actual good pizza (just not as good as NY/NJ)! Surely you’ve seen the error of your ways..

Make sure everyone paces themselves
Y’all are only on ESPNU at the moment…save the biggest cheers for 11:00…

It's gotta take a lot of energy
to be in the first few rows today.
Two hours is a lot of time to cheer for chuckleheads

you have no idea
I got here 730 this morning and I’m still up top. Also extremely hungover, actually still drunk. Don’t worry well be good till 12

That Ryan Boatright
big head is getting a lot of play. I’ve yet to see a really funny sign, so I’m guessing UConn did a good job screening
Gotta love our alma mater
No one wrings the fun out of college sports like the UConn athletic department.

I think you have to put something really inoccuous
on the front, and bring a marker in your pocket for the back

Apparently Calhoun could have been there today
but he didn’t want to distract the team since he won’t be there Tuesday.
I think he needs to come out at halftime to “No Chance In Hell”
According to twitter
someone has a “Blaney Bunch” sign with players on the Brady Bunch grid. That’s good work
Obviously someone has held onto a copy of the 2009 Daily Campus March Madness Extra I designed, and copied their sign based on that.

yup saw that
There’s a lamb with lambs head on it. Cuse fans who come in here are getting razzed pretty good. Kids are making use of the state farm free signs and throwing them at them

I'm going!
Section 109, row I. STOKED.
Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well not just the Cube's, but Chris Daughtry, Jeff Probst, super chef Bobby Flay. I mean, it was insane, it was almost too much.

Looking at that list of bubble teams
Holy crap, we would really have to have a 2010-level collapse to not make this tournament. Good gracious. Northwestern??

that was goofy right
He’s actually a friend of mine. He was interning in nola for the hornets and came back for this

Oriakhi and Lamb will be on "Know Your Teammate"
Coming up soon.

greetings from Gampel
Happy to say I’ve been to both Gamedays. This one is definitely Better than 05. Many more students.

Too bad the game can’t be 10,000 students.

don't know if it's shown up on TV
But this far y favorite sign is the Lamb-sanity one.

Apparently there is one that says
“Breathe if you hate ’Cuse”, which always gives me a laugh.

haha
Also, some blew up the Popeahki (sic) pic from twitter, which is awesome
by The Columnist on Feb 25, 2012 10:45 AM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
Yeah
This is kind of silly. If you win a Division I conference, you at least deserve a chance to compete in the Division I championship tournament.

FINALLY
Someone calling out these referees for their stupid-ass gestures.
There’s very little more annoying than a referee playing to the crowd when he calls a charge.
"I don't get defeated by things." - James A. Calhoun
I can only assume
that sign is at Hofstra’s gameday watch party
by Andrew Porter on Feb 25, 2012 11:05 AM EST up reply actions
Also
Students kinda really showed up for this. Makes me wanna not hang up immediately when alumni giving calls.
Except for the "Fab Melo failed Spanish" sign
He is Brazilian. They do not speak Spanish in Brazil.

interesting
There’s a black drape hanging over a new sign in the men’s Huskies of Honor section. Anyone know what that is?

wow, nice
See what happens when it takes 3 hours to get up here in the rain. You forget to check for these things

I am really willing to believe that
Tyler Olander is the worst, though.

Know Your Teammate:
Oriakhi and Lamb get a combined one question right. No wonder we’re 7-8 in the Big East.
"I don't get defeated by things." - James A. Calhoun
I think our new football recruits are here
A bunch of big guys wearing letterman jackets just came in. With their parents, must be an orientation, celebration thing.
by The Columnist on Feb 25, 2012 11:55 AM EST via iPhone app reply actions
Not the worst thing to show a recruit
God knows we’ll never have Gameday at the Rent, unless ESPNU expands to hold NCAA Hockey Gameday and we aren’t the worst team in the country.
