    I was there when (rules in thread)

    I was in Fenway Park June 6, 1996 To watch the Red Sox play the White Sox. On that day John Valentin hit for the cycle. Also, in that same game, Tim Naehring hit into a triple play. That combination of rare events has happened only one other time in major league history, on July 1, 1931 in a...

    How did you become a UConn fan?

    Grew up a Yale fan in New Haven in the 50s and 60s. Rooted for them to beat UConn in basketball and football when I was a rope guard and usher at Yale Bowl and the Payne-Whitney Gymnasium. Became a UConn fan in 1964 when I made the decision to attend UConn…

    It’s. Not. Even. Close.

    yes and no. Because of the Covid cancellation in 2020, it’s only 25 tournaments in 26 years, starting with Kentuckys win in 1998. But it should say tournaments rather than seasons.

    How long have you been a UConn WBB fan? (poll)

    As a 1970 UConn grad, I always rooted for all UConn sports teams. But I only watched the women’s games in the 70s when they played occasional doubleheaders with the men. I started attending all the home games starting with the 87-88 season. I’ve had season tickets since they started charging...

    A two-minute video analysis that pretty much summarizes UCONN v. UCF

    Why? for no reason at all, with nothing to gain, in a 3 point game with 22 seconds left?

    A two-minute video analysis that pretty much summarizes UCONN v. UCF

    I realize I am in the minority here, but Im not convinced that the violation call was correct, IF she was called for faking the free throw. It was stated earlier in this thread, that it doesn’t matter whether she double-clutched the free-throw on purpose or not. That would be true in high...

    Your First UConn Game In Person

    December 1960 in the Payne-Whitney Gymnasium. Yale won 63-55. Growing up in New Haven, I was a Yale fan and an usher for the Yale home games in those days. I was crushed when Yale lost in OT to Billy Packer’s Wake Forest team in the 62 NCAAs. Dave Schumacher missed 2FTs when 1 of 2 would have...
