Let’s reminisce. UConn History

[GemParty]

Got nostalgic today with Dom Amore’s book signing announcements.

Dug into my personal archives for favorite Sliders & Curveballs Podcast memories.

When did you fall in love with UConn?

For me it was John Gwynn & Chris Smith
For Joseph it was Kemba.

Fun listen, if you’ve never heard our work. Miss doing the show. Joe’s 13 now.

Corny Thompson, Chuck Alexinas, Mike McKay and perhaps the smallest backcourt anyone can remember in Vern Giscombe and Karl Hobbs. of course they underachieved under Dom Perno’s “tutelage”…

Rod Sellers, Tate George, Lyman Depriest - workmen. Why I chose UConn over Georgia (and Hunker Up, Hunker Down elevator buttons in the Georgia athletic building was a little too hick for me).

I actually had his jersey when I was younger. It was a white Fruit of the Loom tank top that had Connecticut and 00 on the front and cost like $10 at an HCC game back in the day. It was cheap looking as can be but it was a staple in my wardrobe for a few summers.

Corny Thompson …

On Corny Thompson: The legendary Connecticut big man

Thompson was the best in-state recruit to ever choose UConn when he joined the team in 1978.
