Then Jim Calhoun brought us to NIT glory with Phil Gamble and Lyman DePriest. Then...the magic year when the song "What I like about Uconn" was played not only in CT but in the entire tri-state area. Then Tate George hit "the shot" (my meme). Then, that absolute tool of a !@$@#$, Christian Laettner hit a buzzer beater of his own to deny us our first final 4 ever. Then, we had to wait 8 more long years only to watch the tar heels crush our dreams again. Then...1999. Duke was absolutely stacked - Tragon Langdon, William Avery, Elton Brand, Corey Magette, and Shane Battier - an NBA roster. A Dook guy on my floor at work came up to me and couldn't stop giggling before the game. "Wanna bet on the game? bwahhhhahahahahahaha" "Sure," I said "100 bucks?" He still hasn't paid me to this day (typical Puke fan). He couldn't even fathom that UConn could even play in the same game with his dream team. Then, Rip made William Avery cry on Coach K's shoulder after he and Jake and Khalid and Ricky shocked the world. I don't care what anyone says. All 5 have been wonderful but this was our first. Rip was the reason why. He couldn't be denied. He wouldn't be stopped. Thank you Richard - we will forever be grateful ( I am in tears now writing this and need to stop) [/QUOTE]
