"So there it was, the high-water mark for UConn football, a few short years into its Division I-A, FBS existence. Nothing seemed impossible anymore. If only it could have been frozen right there, for we know what the ensuing games and seasons have brought."

Says it all. Little did we know at the time it was all downhill after that.

I will never forget watching that ball go through the uprights

Went down there night before with my son. We spent the day at Busch Gardens riding roller coasters and then went to the game.

My sis took this pic. 19-16 on the score board.

So Chin Diesel actually looks like Vin Diesel. Huh.

In the article, Teggart gave credit to his snapper (Derek Chard) & his holder (Chad Christen). Derek's parents are part of my tailgate crew. Earlier in that game, UConn had to punt. Derek snapped the ball, raced down the field, launched into the air & prevented the ball from landing into the endzone & becoming a touchback. USF had such poor field position that it had to punt. The rest is history.
