Message: [QUOTE="UConnSportsGuy, post: 3620081, member: 323"] Similar story here. Right after the B'ham Bowl we were driving to FL to visit friends and we stopped at a Cracker Barrel right outside Birmingham to grab some food after the game. The waiter noticed we were decked out in UConn gear and said that his cousin went to UConn. He didn't name drop or mention Sticks at all, just that his cousin went to UConn. He looked just like a mini version of Sticks and had the same exact demeanor. So I ended up asking him if his cousin was Stanley Robinson, and he said yes--and that Stanley was like his 'big brother' and idol. He said he hoped to play for UConn one day when he was older too. He looked just like Sticks and had the same unassuming, friendly, and caring aura about him. We all cheer and care for all of our 'UConn Guys'--but it seems like almost all of us thought of Sticks as much more than just one of 'our players'. I hope he knew that and knew how special he was.
