Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3659206, member: 489"] I've been to BC, Nova, Carrier Dome, PCC, Meadowlands, MSG multiple times but the one that stands out was a bus trip in 1980 with a group of Husky fans. My dad worked at New Departure back in the day and my brother was working for him, met some great guys and they put a trip together from Bristol. 2 nights and a game at McDonough, what a band box. We were in the 2nd deck (balcony) of this small gym with a bunch of adoring Hoya fans in February. Our Huskies were pretty good (Corny, McCkay soph year, Abro, Dulin, Delagrange etc) and the Hoyas were tough, not great but real tough (Shelton, Spriggs and of course Sleepy amongst others). We had a group of about 35-40 and we wore UConn stuff. I'm telling you they had such little respect for our program they didn't bust our balls all that much, they were almost accommodating LOL. And of course our Huskies were too accommodating on the court as we walked away with a beating somewhere around 24-25 if I do remember. But we were out and about for the evening after the game and the fans were really nice, drinking laughing talking hoops with us. (also a trip on I believe it was 14th street in DC late that evening turned out to be quite a whacky finish to the trip :eek: ) Boy did that attitude change in the mid 90's when I went to the US Air or whatever arena it was and we started owning them LOL.
