Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2484692, member: 199"] Nope. But I was born and raised in Storrs, and went to E. O. Smith. Hung out on campus during the war protests, ran on the track in the old field house, watched Uconn football from the apple orchard (now the parking garage - I miss the apples!) My dad was an English professor at Uconn from 1947 - 1980ish and an emeritus until his death - the medieval studies library is named after him. Left Storrs for college and ended up in NYC, upstate NY, Montego Bay, Chicago, and Miami for work, but with parents in Storrs was always cycling through. Dad first got me interested in the women around '95 and would watch games on TV whenever I was in broadcast range. Great day when CPTV offered streaming and I could catch the games during a year I spent in London. Retired now and living back in Storrs in the house my parents built within walking distance of campus (the campus gets closer it seems every year!) Love the women as they play a game that I see as more in tune with what I grew up watching with the great Celtics teams. Lost interest in the men as I feel they have outgrown the court - fabulous athletes but ... And the women seem to appreciate the privileged of playing sport rather than display the arrogance of the men. [/QUOTE]
