Wonderful memory. The third happiest day of my life after the days my two children were born. Told my ex wife that and she said what about our wedding day? I told her I was being honest. She was rather upset, she never did understand.

Maybe “one of the happiest days of my life” would have worked better - that is using the perfection of hindsight.

And didn’t Dogfather, too? And something about Beneduke and pizza gate?

It always comes back to pizza, doesn’t it?

Perhaps you can regale the young’uns here with the back story? I was in St. Pete and not on the board much then and I’m hazy on the details.

Wasn't even good pizza. Something crappy like Dominos, or something.

Happy 21st birthday to our first NC!

Our NC is old enough to drink, now.

I remember sitting up in nosebleed with a bunch a fans I just met yelling "Clamps! We gotta put the clamps on them!"

Anyone remember what the betting line was going into that game?

He wasn't alone:

Notice how out of all of them, old friend Ken Davis was the one to nail it.

For those looking to re-watch today you can watch it with Joe D and Wayne Norman on the call.



I posted this last year but it got taken down sometime over the summer.

Ken Davis’s comment was even more prescient than his prediction.

Oh, and screw Chuck Culpepper.

And Mark Baudschun at the Globe continued to show his respect for JC and the Huskies. He’s objectively reported on UConn over the years, didn’t buy into the types of Dook or Kentucky automatic and lazy hype that most of the national media did.

I always wondered why Blaudschun loved UConn so much. Every year he was higher on UConn than most. I don't think he went there. He was definitely a Calhoun guy. Maybe that's all it was.

Not to overstate it's importance, but, honestly, can you think of a sports moment that affected you and brought you more joy than that one night in 1999? Personally, it means more to me than the Miracle on Ice, and that's saying something. I will never forget where I was, who I was with, or the sheer joy I felt when Langdon fell to the floor and it was over. I have goosbumps just thinking about it.
