Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4960959, member: 1414"] Grew up in Manchester from 1970. My dad worked at the Hartford. He regularly had unused suite tickets at the Civic Center for weeknight games. So starting sometime in the late 70's he started taking me. Norm Bailey, Vern Giscombe, Corny, Mike McKay, those teams under Perno. They were better than we often remember. It was the 32 team era. Then I went to UConn starting in 1984, was on campus for the NIT championship and the arrival of JC. We went to pretty much every game. I was lucky to have "golden ticket", student seats behind the basket for the opening season of Gampel. [/QUOTE]
