Game 2-21-89: Baseball vs. Yale
What: Baseball vs. Yale
Where: J.O. Christian Field
When: Wednesday, March 21, 3:00 PM
Result: Win, 8-0
I arrived at the JOC at 2:45 after being delayed on the bus several times. I was worried I would miss the start of opening day, but I managed to get there in time. The K-9 Unit was there as we were last year, but unfortunately they did not have a shirt in my size. So, I'll just have to wait to get one. That's ok. We've got many more games this year.
As for the game itself, it wasn't very close. Pat Butler had a no-hitter through five innings, and we shut out the Yale Bulldogs, 8-0. LJ Mazilli hit a home run in the bottom of the first to put us up 2-0, and we didn't look back. The weather was also very nice. Last year, we didn't have a game with the weather above 50 degrees until Quinnipiac the last week of classes. It's March 21 and we already had one this year. We have four more games in March, so we could and should have more nice days before April.
The Bulldogs looked like a second-class team, and they were. Big East play should be closer, but this wasn't. Some students found a list of pitcher heckles and were shouting them throughout. Very amusing. You can view it here if you're interested.
Our next home game is next Tuesday. I will have to arrive late due to class, but I will be there. Hopefully we can win again. I will also be at the lacrosse game vs. Syracuse over the weekend. The Orange are a good team, so that will be tough. For now, Go Huskies!

It's that time again folks, where we post all games for 2012-13 UConn athletics that we deduced from other schedules. Here we go
Women's Soccer:
Thursday, September 13: at Syracuse, 1:00 PM (Note: The Orange schedule includes West Virginia, yet was released after the Mountaineers agreed to leave the conference. I'm not sure it's correct). Source

(M) - Might Attend
(D) - Doubtful To Attend
(N) - Not Attending (only in exceptional cases)
Monday, February 27:
9:00 PM: Women's Basketball vs. Notre Dame (N) I wouldn't get back until at least midnight and I have class the next morning. It just wouldn't work.
Wednesday, February 29:
3:00 PM: Women's Lacrosse vs. Boston College (Y) Might be a little late, but I doubt it. Also, snow is forecast for Wednesday afternoon, so this game might not be played. If it is, I'll be there.
Friday, March 2:
7:05 PM: Men's Ice Hockey vs. Canisius AHA First Round Game 1 (Y) I'll have to check on the time
Saturday, March 3:

7:05 PM: Men's Ice Hockey vs. Canisius AHA First Round Game 2 (Y) I'll need to verify the time. I will attend unless it conflicts with basketball.
Sunday, March 4:
7:05 PM: Men's Ice Hockey vs. Canisius AHA First Round Game 3 (Y) Again, I'll need to verify the time. Also, this game will only be played if the series is tied 1-1 after two games. Obviously, if there's no game, I don't attend it.

Game 2-17-85: Men's Basketball vs. Syracuse (and Gameday)
This post is in two parts, the first is about College Gameday and the second is about the game.
What: College GameDay on ESPN
When: Saturday, February 25th, 10 AM
Where: Gampel Pavilion
Result: N/A
I arrived at 7:30 and worried I'd be far back on line. I wound up sitting with a friend a few rows up in the top level, but close to center. This of course, meant I would not be on TV, but I didn't mind. Anyway, this was somewhat interesting. It's kind of hard to summarize though if you didn't see the show. They had giveaways before and after, but I didn't win anything. And of course, we got to watch the show. It was awesome, but I really have nothing to say about it.
What: Men's Basketball vs. Syracuse
When: Saurday, February 25th, 9 PM
Where: Gampel Pavilion
Result: Loss, 71-69
Well, this was disappointing. We trailed by 17 points in the first half, and it looked over. Fortunately we managed to come back. You could literally feel the bleachers shaking when we hit a game-tying shot late. Alas, it was not meant to be. After the score bounced around a few times, the Orange went up 71-69. We inbounded it and called timeout. So we inbounded it again with 5.4 seconds left. But then we couldn't even get a shot off until after the buzzer went off. Truly pathetic. There is no excuse for this loss. Still, we sort of came together towards the end and just couldn't finish. Or Syracuse collapsed at the end and we almost got lucky. Take your pick. Anyway, I have a lot of family who went to SU and/or live in Syracuse, so now I'm going to have to endure them for the next year. But we'll face the Orange again next year, unless they jump to the ACC, and that won't happen yet most likely. So I'll have a couple more chances to watch the Huskies beat the Orange. For now though, I am 1-3 in UConn-Syracuse games, the one win coming in a women's basketball game on Senior Night last year. Let's look at some other teams the Huskies have struggled against when I go:
Boston University: 1-3 (Men's Soccer, Women's Ice Hockey, Softball)
Notre Dame: 1-2-2 (Women's Soccer, Men's Soccer, Women's Basketball, Men's Basketball)
Northeastern: 0-1-1 (Women's Ice Hockey)
Robert Morris: 0-2 (Men's Ice Hockey)
Of all the teams I have seen in multiple sports, the teams we have the worst winning percentage against are Syracuse and BU. We host the Orange in women's lacrosse March 24th, and I will probably be at that game. We also play three softball games against the Orange April 28-29. So there is still time for me to turn around the Orange Curse this year. But obviously, basketball is the biggest sport for 'Cuse games.

Game 2-16-84: Women's Lacrosse vs. Quinnipiac
Note: Info on College Gameday will be included in the post about the Syracuse basketball game, to be released soon
What: Women's Lacrosse vs. Quinnipiac
When: Saturday, February 25th, 2012, 1:00 PM
Where: George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex
Result: Win, 18-6
I'd never been to a women's lacrosse game before Saturday. I'd always found a reason not to go to the couple game I would have been able to go to. But Saturday, I went. I got out of Gameday at noon, ate lunch at the Student Union, and walked across the street to Sherman to watch lacrosse. There were about 17 minutes until starting time when I got there.
Well, I had no idea what to expect and honestly didn't know what was going on half the time. But we won 18-6, behind six goals from M.E. Lapham, which is good. We are now 2-0 on the season. One thing about the game - it was very windy. 50 mile per hour gusts blowing from north to south appeared to fluster whichever goalie happened to be at that end. That's how we wound up 11-1at halftime. But then Quinnipiac only was outscored 7-5 in the second half. The wind.
There was also some man up in the bleachers with a microphone making sound effects. I didn't know you could do that. I believe he's a parent or something, but I'm not certain. In any case, if you happen to be reading this, post here and let us know. You're awesome. Well, at least we won this game. The same cannot be said about the Syracuse game. Watch for the post on that in a few minutes.
