Best Home Court Advantage

 

I have lived in Connecticut for most of my life and I have been to some of Uconn football games and I have been to some Uconn basketball games and all I can say is... Uconn is a basketball school. 

(Besides that one time Uconn played against Michigan at home, I was at that game and that was sick)
Uconn has had one of the best basketball dynasties with having 5 national championships in the last 25 years which is unheard of with having to play in a tournament every year called, MARCH MADNESS, where the unexpected usually happens. 

Throughout the years, Uconn has had one of the best home courts with the fans of Connecticut never fail to show up to the big game when they play a top seed. And just like the fans, the players usually show up too, and it truly amazing to see. 

January 23, 2010 Uconn 88 - #1 Texas 74
Games like this where an average Uconn team gets to play the #1 ranked Texas at Connecticut with a sold out arena and has the team plays lights out to win the big game.

Since 1990-2023 the Uconn Huskies record at Gampel Pavilion is 218-41 which is almost unheard of. This game tonight against the unranked Villanova Wildcats is not just a regular home game for Uconn. It is $2 beer night AND one of the Uconn greats, Rip Hamilton, is getting his jersey number retired at halftime. How the heck can this game go wrong? The only problem with betting this game is that the spread is 11.5 which I still think is too high. The only thing I can really expect is that Uconn will have the best showing today, knowing that people were there already at 7 AM to get into the arena for College Gameday is crazy to see. I am ready for this game, and I hope Villanova is ready as well, because if they aren't... Uconn will easily win and covering that spread.

Dawg in Him

 Every year in basketball, there is a player that talks the talk and is able to walk the walk. There's players like JJ Reddick, Jalen Rose, Grayson Allen, and is the new one now Cam Spencer? Uconn's starting shooting guard is a 5th year senior that has been to 3 different schools and this year is now getting the spotlight of college basketball. Cam Spencer starting his college basketball career at Loyola Maryland, where he played for 3 years where he averaged 10 Freshman year, 10 Sophomore year, and 19 Junior year. After his successful junior year, he transferred to Rutgers for his Senior year averaging 13 points a game as the team went 19-15 and now has transferred for his 5th year going to the reigning national champions Uconn Huskies. I never watched him play until this year, but quickly has caught fans attentions as he has been making multiple clutch shots during the season and has been talking trash along the way. The first time I found out he is not someone to mess with i

Love Is Blind 3 New Episode Reactions

Image
 I think it is very smart for Love Is Blind to bring out the episodes 3 at a time because now I have to wait and wonder what is going to happen for the next episodes when they come out. It is making me crave this television show even more. It is like people having the extra urge to have Chic Fil A on Sunday... just because you cannot have it makes you want it more. With these 3 episodes, some couples already completely ended, some have had some ROCKY moments, and some are absolutely thriving. I was completely wrong about this couple. I thought because they both were such caring and kind people that they would match and just be in love forever, and that did not happen. They were on vacation with the best view and best things to talk about and it was completely awkward on that boat ride for about 25-30 minutes... thank goodness a dolphin came up for one of them to say anything at all. She was angry he was not showing her love, and he seemed like he was done with his vacation vibe and wen

Casino First Timer

 As I sit here, watching sports, wishing I was making some +10000 parlay and make it big and retire at a young age, I think about the first time I went to the casino. I went to a glorious casino in Connecticut called Foxwoods where I walk in being the big spender I am... I brought $300 for a 2 night event. There's 2 ways it could go leaving the casino after the trip; either walking out with so much money in my wallet that I couldn't close it, or, drive home hoping I have enough gas to make it home hoping I have enough food in the fridge for the week. But that first night, oh that first night was a MOVIE! And when I mean movie, I mean going from 300 to 450 so making a remarkable 150 that night. I walk into the place and I was looking like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just being in awe of everything and trying to soak it in. The bright lights, the cheers, the smell if cigarettes, feels like I was Daniel Jones in the great Metlife Stadium. I was hitting in all ends that night
