A letter allegedly from Derek, a resident assistant (RA) at the University of Connecticut, has gone viral on Monday ahead of the NCAA National Championship game.
Derek does not appreciate people “going wild” over basketball games and warns the residents of his building/floor that if they want to watch the game and in fact go wild then they should go somewhere else.
“Hey everyone, please go to Gampel or somewhere else to watch the game,” he begins. “Midnight quiet hours still apply here, so responsibly go nuts elsewhere. I’m on duty tonight and it’s going to be stressful, so please don’t push it on our floor. There are going to be a lot of RA’s and police around North, if I wasn’t an RA I would personally stay away from here tonight.”
“In the end, remember that the only reason you care about the game is:
a.) because they’re wearing a UConn uniform
b.) you want an excuse to go wild”
The origin of the letter appears to be from UConn student Mike Manicini, who says he received the email from Derek.
“Arguably the worst RA in UConn history,” he said.
