Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4904505, member: 181"] I'd say it should have been a separate option. I chose Nutmegger because I grew up in CT, after arriving at 8 months old. Moved to KY fully on the final day of November last year. Went to college in upstate NY, then back to CT for 5 years, then to LI/NYC for 19 years, and a handful of years back-and-forth on those two, before 17 in CT. But I'm a Husky fan through & through by way of family connection. My dad started at UConn, but WW2 diverted him to UMaine, and then to Pitt, where he met my Pittsburgh-native mom, and they decided to raise their family as he started his career after a second residency. The first was at the VA Hospital in Newington. That makes me the child of two Pitt alums. But wait, there's more... My dad's second brother graduated UConn, where he met my aunt who also graduated. The youngest brother did not go to UConn, but his only ever email address was ”UConn[first name].” By virtue of his being born 10 years later and having a 12 yearslonger lifespan, he more fully rooted for UConn than my dad, adding football through its ups & present. My dad had MBB season tickets from late 1950s through 1994. The middle brother cared little about the Athletics Department, but was actively involved in supporting UConn at many levels. His son is the only one of my generation with a UConn degree. [/QUOTE]
