MU St. John's Just Canceled Per CBS Sports Tweet

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Can't remember if we had this conversation already ...

I was born and raised in Milford. Jonathan Law HS Class of '78.

Go Lawmen!

RIP Milford Jai Alai!

I most definitely remember you're from Milford!

I loved going to Jai Alai.  My friends and I went all the time. You were allowed in over 18 so it was perfect thing to do before turning 21.  All the players were from the Basque region with names like Zabala & Egurbi.

There was an Amateur Jai Alai facility you could rent and play with your friends.  I saw a guy catch a pelota in the face and knock out a tooth.

I introduced my Marquette friends to it when they flew out for my wedding.  (MU82, Reception at Costa Azzura)
They got hooked and found away to sneak a second visit in between wedding activities.  I heard hearts break when I informed them it closed.  Killed by Foxwoods & the Mohegan Sun.

I don't know about "team," but they had a jai alai fronton, and it was the jewel of Connecticut frontons. I went quite a bit during my younger days, including when I was nowhere near old enough to bet (but they let me anyway).

It was the ultimate fixed sport. In one game, the guy who was supposed to win would be making incredible, acrobatic, diving plays. The next game, the exact same guy would drop the pelota when it was right in his cesta. The "sport" was trying to figure out who was supposed to win each match! Sophisticated gambler I was, I just went with my favorite numbers.

Awesome!  When I was at MU, I had a girlfriend whose family lived in Miami.  We went to the Miami Jai Alai fronton when I was down there.  Quite the experience.  Fortunately, I was a broke student who had spent all of his money on a plane ticket to Miami, so I didn't have anything to lose!

When I'm in Tampa I always pick up some Jai Alai Beer from Tampa Bay Brewing Company.

I grew up in Trumbull. Still live here. Went to high school in Fairfield. First concert I ever saw was The Tubes at the Bridgeport Jai Alia. Sometime around 1982-1983.

My nephew and I will be there tomorrow...after we stuff our faces in Little Italy.

I remember going to Milford Jai Alai before I turned 18. Never asked for ID. Musta been my beard.

Yeah, I remember those names. They had a couple of Americans, too. I think one was named Alex.

Good memories.

I also remember going to Hartford Jai Alai to see Steve Martin (back when he was funny). The Civic Center's roof had caved in so they held it at the fronton. One of the funniest nights of my young life to that point.

Damn. Jai Alai? Wasn't it fixed? That's worse than betting on the trotters, but at least then you can look at some nice horses. Must not have been much to do up in Connecticut.

60% of St. Johns is Asiatic

Asiatic? Are you f@cking kidding me?

You stupid F@ck

[Jay Bee]

Tip off is Saturday Night at 7PM in Queens (St. Johns)

Awesome post, filled with misinformation. The game ain't scheduled to be played in Queens. LIAR.

Got to hand it to Heisenberg, at least he's consistent. Consistently wrong, Maybe he  really  thinks the Garden is out somewhere on Utopia Parkway. mabe he will go out there and get lost in the blizzard. Maybe he'll meet a nice girl and won't be around to constantly plague us for lack of anything better to do.

A nice Asiatic girl?

A nice Asiatic girl?

He's thinking of adopting. There's this 18 year old Korean girl he's had his eye on.

Reporting from Times Square.....

NYC just announced a travel ban on all roads starting at 2:30pm.

Subways still running, but all above ground routes closing at 4pm.

I was confident before, but now I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah up to 30" of snow is a lot.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

They are saying it will be one of the 5 worst snow storms in NYC history.

LIRR closing at 4:00pm.

[Tugg Speedman]

So by 7PM tonight

* no surface travel in NYC
* no buses in NYC
* No LIRR

Either the game gets canceled or it becomes a TV event in front of about 75 people.  How are fans getting to the game?

[klebs01]

The subways will still be going and the sidewalks are quite walkable. We are in NYC for the game and are planning to walk to the game.

[Tugg Speedman]

Flyers at Islanders has been canceled.

How many DAYS does it take MU to get back to Milwaukee?  Not getting out today as Newark is closed.
