I have been a UConn Sports fan forever. I started watching and listening to Football and Mens Basketball since the late 60s. I remember watching Bob Staak and Doug Melody and I watched games played at the Curry Hicks Cage in Amherst. Most of those games were watched on a little black and white 13 inch TV. I really became a fan when John Thomas, Jimmy Foster and Al Weston played in the 70s.
I also remember reading about the baseball team in the College World Series in the 70s. This continued when I made it to UConn as a student in 1976. Many in our dorm attended soccer games.
I didn't start following the Women's Basketball team until around 1990 when the team included Kerry Bascom, Laura Lishness, Debbie Baer, Wendy Davis and Megan Pattyson. 1995 was a very special time to watch. Even my aunt and uncle, who were not big college fans, were really into the Women's team that year and loved Jamelle.
