Message: [QUOTE="GampelGladiator, post: 4960944, member: 940"] I was born in Eastern CT in 1978 and attended my first game at the Field House in the mid-80s when the goal was to avoid the Big East Tournament play-in game. I do know that at one of my first games, the person sitting behind me got annoyed with my incessant pom-pom waving and took it out of my hands and broke it in half. But the lesson I learned was to be tough and never back down when my father bought me a new pom-pom and told me to wave it as much as I wanted too. I can't believe that this 35+ year love affair began with something in that way...but I hope it never changes! But I would say the Dream Season was the beginning of my obsession and remember a bunch of us quickly going down to the local playground and shooting hoops after the Huskies won the BET that season. I of course recall crying after Laettner hit a game winner...though not as bad as when the Red Sox lost game 6 in 1986. Go Huskies!!! [/QUOTE]
