Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2691933, member: 1526"] I was just the opposite. My dad was a Yale fan, so I became a Harvard and Princeton fan. He grew up in the Boston area so he rooted for all the Boston teams. I was all NYC...Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, any team that wears a NY uniform. The two teams we agreed on and watched religiously were the NY Giants and the UConn Huskies. He grew up during an era when there was no football team in Boston, so the Giants were it, plus we lived in NJ. Late in his life, tired of Yawkey, Yaz and the other prima donnas that populated the Red Sox clubhouse, he actually became a Yankee fan the night Chambliss hit the walkoff homer to win the AL pennant, so we were united for the last several years of his life. I was a huge Hal Greer fan and loved the Sixers. Any team that beats Boston is my team. RIP, Hal. [/QUOTE]
