Oh I remember that. I was in the Holiday Inn with all the Mich St fans and cheerleaders. They treated me like one of the UConn players, like I won the championship, LOL. I was at that game. Most of Tropicana Field was pulling for UConn. I also remember the arrogant Duke fans filing out when the championship trophy presentation started.That was a magical evening in St. Pete. We couldn't sleep that night. The party was on!
Tropicana Field shall remain sacred UConn Husky turf forever.
I have many newspaper articles from the days afterI still have that document I put together with all the articles from that run. It's buried away on some flash drive or something. I'll try to dig it up if anyone wants it.
