Video Memories, Starting With The 1988 NIT

[Huskies4ever]

Agreed boog...I was at all of the HCC games that year and a couple of the Gampel games, by far the loudest year in UC hoops history......as I said before I watch those and they eyes tear and the chills get crazy......

I will never forget the GTown game......and then watching it on tape after and reliving it and hearing Mike Gorman, say " Smith wants HE'S GOT IT, it's 10-nothing...steal by George to Smith it's 12 NOTHING.......JT wants a time out......"


WOW

That was such a great call by Gorman. Sends shivers down one's spine. And as you mentioned how loud it was. I have the VHS of that season, and I've never heard the Civic Center rockin' like that. Electrifying!

Gorman is great. Unfortunately, he has to work with Tommy Heinsohn

"They're going banana's in the Hartford Civic Center and I mean BANANA'S........." Gorman

Labor of love.

The real thanks goes out to the people uploading this stuff. If you've got something cool on a VHS tape, please try and share it with the rest of us. It isn't that difficult to do! And it preserves it for later generations and all that jazz.

The first two are mine & I apologize for the audio not synching properly. I tried several times & finally gave up.

I have the full Huskymania video (where the Dream Season highlights are from) but was worried about copyright garbage. I have some other games as well that I'm hesitant to upload in their entirety. One of these days I'll just do it and see what happens.

The Dream Season was my first season with season tix (worked out pretty nicely!!)...but my buddy and i boith missed the GTown game. I was at a family wedding. Some guy at one of the back tables had a small TV plugged in and about 20 of us were gathered around him watching the 2nd half and downing beers. I think I asked the wedding band if they knew the husky fight song....LOL...Great times! I had set the old VCR to tape the game...Got home at 2 AM and stayed up until 4:30 AM watching it.

Agreed...Gorman was great that season. Everytime I hear him doing a Celts game, I still think of the 89/90 Huskies.

Incredible highlights. After watching all the highlights came away with remembering what a great player Chris Smith was. IMO, except for Kemba, Chris was the greatest guard in UConn history. Thanks for the memories!

Had to watch them again ....LOL....

Another great Gorman line in the 89-90 highlights at the end of the 1st Gampel game vs the Johnnies......."...CT is #1 in Big East..........and they have found a home"
