-> Norm Myers, Peg Myers and their children, Tommy Myers and Kelly Fields, represent UConn athletics as well as any family in history. Norm, a linebacker, played football at UConn, graduating in 1985. Peg, a forward, played basketball for the Huskies, graduating in 1986 after serving as Auriemma's first captain as a senior. Tommy, a tight end, played football at UConn and Kelly, after transferring from St. Francis in New York, was on the track team, both graduating in 2017.<-

The pizza record was set Oct. 4, before the Huskies’ victory over Florida International. Sixty pies were charred and handed out. The siren wailed. Norm wasn’t drinking but he was toasted by dear friends who talked about coming together to fight with him. He is four months into that fight, proving already that something so scary and demanding doesn’t have to change who you are and what you do best.“Off to a good start,” Peg said.<-
