Nice Article about UConn Fan in Washington Post

[BlueandOG]

The article is titled "Why my dad called home for a UConn hoops play-by-play before he died." Nice story about a son and his dad, a hard-core UConn fan.

Well, it was a promising start to the story. I don't have a WP account, so I couldn't see the rest.

I appreciate that, but when I try it, it doesn't work for me. Might be a problem on my side.

Sounds like that was the Providence game we stole from them. No wonder his heart couldn't take it. RIP Steve Roberts.

One of the best parts of the article is that the Washington Post finally started spelling UConn correctly. They used to spell it U-Conn. It drove me nuts.

I recall there being an article somewhere (probably Husky Blue and White in the early 1990's) that defined what was an acceptable spelling for UConn and what was not. I don't recall all the acceptable spellings, but it wasn't solely "UConn". Now however, google AI reports only UConn is acceptable (even though its flagged as a miss-spelling by my browser).
