Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3106063, member: 2504"] Figured I'd throw this in at the end of the game, since I won't likely be posting next weekend. So my wife and I have been going to the women’s basketball final four every year since 1996, having missed only two years in that time (1999 and 2006, both years where UConn didn’t make it). In all that time, there were only 4 times where we were at the final four and UConn was not. That is rather amazing to think about. Going to that first final four in 1996 was a last minute decision/accident that came up while we were at the Big East Tournament at Gampel that year. My wife is always yelling and cheering during games (believe me, she is loud) at that tournament, and while at the time I always seemed to deliver an endless commentary on what was happening during the games to who ever might be listening, including my wife (I’m sure that must be a big surprise to whoever reads my stuff on these threads). The couple in front of us had been listening to us for a couple of days. They eventually turn around, tell us they have tickets to the final four that they are not going to be able to use, and since we were such good fans, would we be interested in taking them? My wife and I were stunned at the offer, but we said yes the next day. It’s amazing how some things get started. We now always buy our tickets when the NCAA sale occurs, and have never done so through UConn. [/QUOTE]
