Message: [QUOTE="Blueconn, post: 2485227, member: 5095"] A semi-retired former bookseller, now a librarian, that suddenly got exiled in KC, MO in 2014. Did the 2015 & 2016 seasons at a sweet neighborhood bar. And I don’t drink. Didn’t plan to stay here and didn’t expect to be so reunited with my daughter. Or her son. This thing with grandparenting ? Wow. So I’m here til he starts kindergarten (turns 3 late Jan) and that’s ok. But I do miss Connecticut and Vermont. Especially in December. Never miss a game. I’m flat screened and ipaded and Apple TV’d and celled (flip) and landlined and subscribed and paid up and it’s all quite command central-like... all because of my first game at the Field House. Dee Rowe beat John Thompson. Before Christmas 1972. Made better by knowing I’d be starting as a second semester sophomore in Storrs in January ‘73. Being inside [I]the [/I]Field House was, to a young player and dreamer like me, like being in a singular place. Ron Ritter, Penders, Bialosuknia, Toby Kimball...WTIC Radio and, perhaps an all-out promo event by Channel 3, to do 1 damn game per season. The best was the night Bob Lloyd and Wes Bialosuknia went head to head in a scintillating exhibition of long range jump shots. Lloyd finished with 40, Wes about 30. But it was the Poughkeepsie Popper whose form I imitated as a kid. Alas, before three-pointers. The purpose of this post is to ask : [B]Are there UCONN HUSKY fans living in Kansas City, Missouri ? If you live in KANSAS CITY and are, like me, always thinking about the next game... Get in touch. I work at the Library. Easy to reach.[/B] [/QUOTE]
