Message: [QUOTE="80shusky, post: 2389610, member: 5992"] I was a freshman in 1987. Hardly paid attention early. Was learning about classes, girls, beer etc. As the year wore on started to go to some games with friends. Got into it. Remember that NIT win vs Ohio State fondly. Was in the Jungle, Tolland Hall. Remember all going out to the quad to celebrate. Got out of hand, but fun. Started going to games as a student more often, the lottery. Then a letdown year then it got good. The 1990 season had promise. No one liked us. We played great D. Watched the BE championship at Teds, beat really good Cuse and Gtown teams I think. Was amazed when we beat Mutumbo and Mourning (that was same year right?). Then watched "The Shot" for the win at Clemson and the horrible last second loss to Duke at a friends apartment at Woodhaven ( I think it was called). Drove past a huge banner on the way back to campus hung over the next day stating that "Laettner Must Die". I was hooked. I have watched either in person or on TV every single game since that year other than games I couldn't because of work. Once streaming became an option I have streamed the games. I'll never give up now, whether they break my heart or make it proud. I can't go to games much due to my job (on call after hours a lot, have to be able to answer my phone) plus I live north of Danbury so a big drive to get there for weeknight games and the job thingy, but I still watch every single one. Go Huskies! [/QUOTE]
