Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3370647, member: 153"] I found the quote that annoyed me. He basically blasted Calhoun for not having students on the team compared to Duke. But he put it this way, after lumping UConn in with UNLV and Louisville, "If they want to field a basketball team with a collective IQ in the single digits, that's up to them." By the way, doing this search not only brought me back to the days when the MLS had 12 teams, but some very weird details were featured in the Gazette. Like these: "You never know what can spark a hockey scrap. Just ask Jim McKenzie of the Mighty Ducks recount his scuffle with Stars goalie Ed Belfour: "I forechecked him and maybe bumped me a little. Then he hit me and I hit him. Then he said something about how Duke would win the national title, and I said it would be UConn and it escalated from there." Or this one: "There's a train of thought that UConn G Khalid El-Amin, short and roly-poly, doesn't look like he belongs on a basketball court. Apparently, a security guard at Tropicana Field thought the same. With a Championship T-Shirt over his uniform, the security guard thought he was just another rowdy who had come out of the stands to party after the game. So he escorted El-Amin off the court to the guard's protestations." [/QUOTE]
