Message: [QUOTE="UConnDan97, post: 2389598, member: 2305"] I started as a fan rooting for the hometown underdog, during the days of Earl Kelley and co. I watched commercials with folks like Gerry Besselink on tv, singing, "You can't sit down!" In 1988, the "little engine that could" went out there and actually won the NIT tourney! Awesome! In 1990, I didn't turn off the tv, even though my annoying Cuse-loving brother was ragging on me for losing to Clemson in the NCAA tourney with 1 second left. But I didn't turn off the tv. Burrell threw the ball to Tate without a chance in the world....but I didn't turn off the tv!!! In 1993, I was fortunate enough to get into UConn. I learned my trade there. I met my wife there. I had some of the best times in my life there. In 1999, Khalid and company shocked the world! They would go on to shock the world another 3 times, to the point where nobody was shocked any longer. UConn and Greatness meant the same thing, and they still do. UConn is a part of me. It's been a part of me since I was a kid, and as long as I can remember watching sports. It will always be a part of me. And Husky Nation is my family, even with the "weird cousins" included and all... ;) [I]Pride. Heart. UConn.[/I] [/QUOTE]
