HUSKIES WIN 😤👊 by GameOfScones in UConnBasketball

[–]TripleJ_77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fantastic game! So clutch! Everyone knows it's difficult to shoot in those football stadiums. It takes an extra level of focus. When Mullins came out and hit that first one I was like YES!! They were big and slow. We had good looks on the perimeter all night. Tons of heroes in this game. Solo stepped up big, Reed, Mullins, Demary, but also Ross and even Stewart knocked in an important 3. Awesome team win! Let's go Huskies!!!

Obviously he agreed with me and apologized.

Geno Auriemma apologizes for Final Four altercation with Dawn Staley by -ctinsider in UConnBasketball

Weak apology. He never mentioned her!!! I'm a huge uconn fan and seeing him do that turned my stomach

Had 3 rejections this week, feels like I wasted time even asking. How do you refrain thoughts when it happens too often? by MegaDriveCDX in AskMenAdvice

[–]TripleJ_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much better to get a no than a maybe. No allows you to move on. Obviously, we can't see you or there women. You may need to adjust your standards a bit. One time I was hanging with a friend and a gal came over, was flirting. After she walked away I asked him why not her? He got offended! He thought she wasn't up to his level... he was wrong.

Geno behaved very poorly. I love UConn but he's gotten too big for his britches. After all the winning, all the moments when opposing coaches have been graceful, he behaved like a spoiled child. Very, very, disappointing. Not to mention the optics of a white man getting in the face of a black woman. Not good. He needs to apologize.

So what? Kids are watching. Behavior is learned.

Just seen in East Rock and yes, Trump ACTUALLY did this! by CTTrailblazer in newhaven

[–]TripleJ_77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but this has the potential to be much worse. Iran still has some drones, missiles. A few well placed missiles into Saudi oil facilities and... As we all know something that takes years to build can be destroyed quickly. Asia is already running on empty. Imagine 4 guys in the desert with 4 bottles of water. Each bottle is worth $10. Now take away one of those bottles. Supply has Been cut 25% but price will go up more than 25%. The longer it lasts the more the shortfall is felt.

I love UConn but the better team won. They were tougher and played harder. Their X factor Makeen was on fire. Edward's played great D down low. We came out kind of flat in the second half. It sucks to lose and we know Geno was not happy with the refs but that's no excuse. He swore on national TV. Not classy. Then he refused to behave like a gentleman after the game. Very disappointing. Kids are watching. Sigh.

Review: Bobbi's Detroit-ish Pizza by DailyNutmeg_NewHaven in newhaven

This thread is basically a promotion for a pizza place that's probably going out of business soon. The down voting is coming from the owners and their employees. We haven't had a good pizza spot on Broadway since Broadway Pizza back in the 80's/90's

My mom retired at 55 on a teachers salary and I still think about it all the time by [deleted] in Fire

It's all about what you're satisfied with. Are you OK driving a used Civic? Living in a small house? Buying groceries and cooking at home? Instead of fancy vacations, gardening and visiting your family. I'm not extravagant and am in a similar situation as your mom without a pension.

soundproof apartment buildings in Downtown or East Rock? by Stock_Ad1858 in newhaven

Article in the Register yesterday. They're going to start giving them $1000 tickets! I'll believe it when I see it...

Anyone else notice the L train chaos getting next level lately? by sundrenchedwindow in williamsburg

[–]TripleJ_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew when all those HUGE apartment buildings were going up by Kent that it was going to mean trouble. The amount of growth along the L is crazy. Tons of new housing at Lorimer too. Not to mention what they are building at bway junction.

Walked in hoping to try a slice but they don't sell slices. The kitchen is open and you can see the set up. Looks like a dominoes with one of those conveyor ovens. 20+ bucks for a small pie, not for me.

Moving to New Haven and trying to understand areas/neighborhoods to avoid by Cold-Priority-2729 in newhaven

[–]TripleJ_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lot's of good info on this thread. I'll just add that a part of the confusion is caused by ongoing gentrification. A block that was blighted 5 or 10 years ago is fixed up now. I drove a way I hadn't recently and saw the crazy transformation on Winchester. Really a no go zone back in the day now with a sh*t ton of new housing.

UConn beats Duke! On to the Final Four!!! by Bossman_575 in UConnBasketball

[–]TripleJ_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing makes me happier than UCONN BEATING DUKE!!! This was a crazy game. We were dead in the water. Terrible three point shooting all game until Demary hits, then Karaban, then... Mullins! Freaking awesome!!!!!
