Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3185579, member: 1526"] Being a Husky forever...let's see: Listening to George Ehrlich announcing Husky games on WTIC from the frozen winter tundra of remote outposts like Burlington, VT, Orono, ME, Durham, NH, and Manley Field House at Syracuse, NY, among others; Watching Dick Galiette and "Tiny" Markle announce Husky games from the Field House on grainy B&W telecasts by Channel 8 in New Haven; Sitting in the Yale Bowl in Sept. 1965 when Gene Campbell intercepted a Yale pass late in the fourth quarter and returned it for a touchdown, with most of the crowd of 40,000 going absolutely wild during our first win over Yale in 16 tries; Attending the St. Patrick's Day 1974 win in the NIT over St. John's at MSG, with my father and several friends from school; Watching us beat Phil Seller's Rutgers team by one point at the Field House; Attending the ECAC New England Championship game in 1976 at the Springfield Civic Center, where we beat Joey Hassett's Providence team 87-73 to win the automatic berth to the NCAA tournament; Watching us beat Hofstra by two points after a furious comeback led by freshman Jeff Carr, to erase a 19 point second half deficit in the first round of the 1976 NCAAs at the Providence Civic Center; Traveling to Greensboro, NC to watch the 1976 NCAA Eastern Regionals, where we lost to Phil Seller's Rutgers team; Attending all of our Final Fours and partying with crazy Husky fans after all but one of them; After that one, leaving the shitpit known as Detroit, MI (F/U Spartan fans!) and driving to St. Louis, MO to watch our women's team win the 2009 Final Four over Louisville; Partying with the team at a pregame BBQ at Jake Voskuhl's house before the Houston game in 1999; Being at Rentschler Field for the inaugural game in 2003 when Dan Orlovsky led our football team to a big win over Indiana. Traveling to Detroit to see our football team win its first bowl game ever over Toledo in the 2004 Motor City Bowl; Traveling to San Antonio in 2002 and 2010 to see our women's team win two Final Fours; Traveling to Birmingham, AL to see our football team beat South Carolina in the 2010 PapaJohn's Pizza Bowl; and Sitting with my dad on his death bed, when just before he died, he asked me what the score of the UCONN game was from the night before.
