Saw Donyell Marshall highlights on wtnh and my door basketball hoop was never the same
 
Born and raised CT. Parents, best friends, sister went to UConn. Would've gone if I had the grades... Dad took me to UConn games since before I had a sense of self. Hate when people say you can't be a real fan unless you're alumni.

Was 10 when moved here in ‘67. Younger brother went to UConn when Calhoun got there and have been a fan since then. What a ride. Thank my parents (deceased) every year season starts.

not that this is exactly the same but I'm a huge Tampa Rays fan for no other reason than I fell in love with the way the organization is run. People ask if I'm from Tampa...nope. I have zero connection to the Bay.
 
Second son graduated in 2008 - I think.

We had season tickets to the women's games from 2006 until we moved top Florida in 2016.
 
Grew up in CT, surprisingly my family never went to a lot of games but there was a time when we all lived together that we watched every game for both men and women’s on TV.

If a family event is going on and UConn is playing, everyone is watching. Now by myself I try to make sure I don’t miss a game if I can help it.
 
I wanted to go to UConn my entire childhood. I spoke to Glen Miller late in my senior year about walking on. Had a bunch of D3 interest but opted to go D2 and try to earn a scholly.

Master's, grad certificate, and another degree after that all from UConn. I don't really feel like an alum though because i never lived on campus.

UConn is the State's team. If you're a CT person and you love the team, then you're as true a fan as any alum. I'm a lifelong CT resident and my Dad is an alum. I was watching games on Channel 20 with the rabbit ears and more static than picture as a kid with the Mike McKay and Corney Thompson team. I would have been a fan whether I went to the school or not.
 
Not an alum, but I did take two summer Spanish classes at UConn to complete my requirement for the college I graduated from. Not sure how that counts.
 
Born and raised in CT. Left for college but returned to go to UConn Law and was there for the first title in 99. Moved to GA in 2003.
 
I grew up right across the boarder in Port Chester NY and back in 94/95 the only channel I had that was showing cbb was WLNY 55. It was that weird channel that nobody knew about lol, but all they showed was uconn games. I fell in love with the Marshall Brothers and the rest is history.
Two of my cousins also attended the best college in the universe.

Grew up in Meriden and grew up a Husky fan from when I started listening to George Ehrlic and then going to games with Dad. My earliest memories are with players like Hrubala, Chapman, Wilson, Staak, Boyd and so many more. My HS baseball coach played at UConn and had tix as well and saw a few games with him. Began the season ticket thing in the 80s at HCC. Born and bred to love our Huskies so don’t think I hit the Census at all:eek:

You’re the only other person I heard getting a 0.9! I had a 0.9, 1.3, and a 1.7. Somehow hung on to graduate. Too much sega 94 hockey.

Yeah! You're a nutmegger. I should've done a better job.
 
Fairfield County Nutmegger. Grew up a Fairfield Stags fan- both parents went there- until the Huskies popped onto my radar halfway through the Dream Season after beating Georgetown. Got into UConn and made the ignorant decision to go out of state. I’m making my penance by preaching the gospel of UConn to the kids and hopefully convincing at least one to go to Storrs. Fingers crossed.

Fairfield had it going on when I was a kid down here. Joe Desantis and crew had more juice than UConn at that time in Fairfield County
