Good news, guys! When we tell you the mail is here, we actually mean it (looking at you, UPS…you’ll be hearing from me). Today, we throw fake money at fixing the Gampel roof, speculate about Dwayne Killings’ phone calls, and Alex brags about his Pokemon skillz.
Remember: If your question wasn’t answered or you’ve been living under a rock and are just hearing about this, you can submit your questions here or on Twitter (@ADimeBack).
Jungle Husky asks: If you could afford to pay for one, would you pay for XL ice machine or Gampel roof?
Well, this is tough, because the ice machine is costing $2.5M and the roof is set to cost about $10M to fix. Not exactly comparable, and my understanding is that the ice machine is no longer up to the task of, you know, making water hard, so it’s a necessary fix. But fuck it, that roof is an eye sore, and when we’re playing teams in the B1G and pieces of the ceiling are literally falling on people, it’s so embarrassing that I almost know what it feels like to be a Syracuse fan when Boeheim starts to talk. Gampel is still a dope place to watch a game, but we need to put our best foot forward these days, and letting our on-campus basketball facility fall to pieces is not going to help UConn get into a P5. The state budget is too tight right now, so hopefully new AD David Benedict is working on getting some new facility money from rich alumni (I mean, Ray and Caron can probably find a mill or two in their collective couch cushions) because that ceiling needs to get fixed right quick. — Meghan
Timmy asks: Who was Dwayne Killings on the phone with?
So either Timmy is extremely nosey or he is referring to this tweet:
Ran into Dwayne Killings at Nordstrom, he said on the phone, “They asked me, would you rather play Tulane or Indiana on Saturdays…” B1G?

I’m gonna guess he was talking to his mom. Idk. The more interesting question is: who was he talking about?
Like a post straight from Tinder spam account “The Boneyard,” the writer of this tweet immediately jumps to realignment assumptions, completely disregarding what Killings actually said. It sounds like another Big Ten school was trying to woo him (let’s irresponsibly suggest Penn State because Killings came from Temple and PSU is also in Pennsylvania) and that school used conference affiliation as a way to undermine Temple/UConn. Of course it didn’t work because Killings would rather beat Tulane than lose to Northwestern on Saturdays. — Russ
Your dad asks: What’s your highest cp Pokemon?
493 Gloom. Just evolved a mega Oddish. — Alex
