No test. I actually tapped it out rather than "Wes B," because I do know how it's spelled, and, well, that's what showed up.
this is pretty epic,
“Couldn’t score the ball all day“ was the hardest bit. Phonetics made it impossible to put 2011 and 2014 in order.
I remember that second half too, irritated they gave up a huge lead. I was 11 at the time so maybe it was the "kid" in me and not realizing the gravity of the situation, with one second left, but something told me they would win it and they did. I remember not being shocked because I grew up in North haven and knew about the exploits of Scott Burrell living one town away in Hamden. When I saw him inbounding the ball and ready to pass, I knew his pass would be on point, the question to me was whomever catches it can they make the shot. What's funny is I wanted it to go the Henefeld, I felt he was our best shooter (even better than Smitty and Tate). I guess the rest is history as they say.
I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but reminds me, and I can’t emphasize this enough: Tyler Olander has more national championships than Jim Boeheim.
Dude. Pikell And Kuczenski were
Don’t judge. Everyone proceeds at their own pace.
Terrific remembrance.
Wasn't Bill Bradley on that Princeton team?
“Perno stole the ball! Perno stole the ball!”
Lol.
It is indeed DW. I kind of lost it when Big East FB collapsed. That board was a lot of fun because of all the banter and smack that went on between all the schools. As you know, we got close to many posters from other schools, and sometimes had get togethers. Back then I was new to the FB scene and attending tailgates with WVU fans was so much fun. Those guys were so knowledgeable and also great human beings. Anyway, I lost my passion, put it aside, and began putting in full days of productive work in the office. I became so productive they actually made me a boss. I am now retired living full time on the road. I am currently in the Tampa area and was so hoping UConn would have gotten one of the bowls down here. The old boards will always be dear to my heart, but the Boneyard is pretty awesome as well.
I thought you were a government employee. Being productive with a job like that can make a lot of enemies.
You have a good memory and yes there was much animosity there. I remember you have a son. Hope he is doing well. Enough posting on a thread past it’s time. I will try to catch you on another one. I can’t think of a better time for UConn athletics that we are experiencing now and it amazes me that we are growing fabulously as a university despite not being invited to the ACC. I really would hate being a Miami, BC, Rutgers, Syracuse or Pittsburgh right now. Funny that they all have become irrelevant while UConn is basking in the sunshine right now. I think we are in a good place as long as we continue to retain a very good administration. Hopefully the momentum keeps trending upwards. Like a growing stock, it is my opinion that UConn is showing all indications of becoming a good buy.
My son is doing very well, thank you for asking.
Steve Pikiell was in high school from 1982-1986 so maybe you played against him on another team?
