Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 3711067, member: 1023"] In 2004 my boss gave everyone an extended lunch hour to watch the Huskies in the first round of the Big East Tournament. AND bought lunch foe everyone at the joint across the street So we could all watch it. Today if you did that everyone would be fired and 1/2 the people wouldn’t go anyway...If you weren’t around or were not old enough to get involved you wouldn’t understand frankly. It’s fine but people don’t schedule weddings around UConn games any more. Guys don’t leave their wives at the hospital after the births of their kids to make tip off as not 1 but 3 guys in our section did between 1999 and 2004. Doubt there are many who drive up from Washington DC And back for midweek games against The New HampshireS of the world like several people I knew used to do. Games against the likes of UNH and Fairfield were sellouts, not just big games. It is not even close to what UConn’s support was between the Dream Season and 2006. [/QUOTE]
