Why UConn bball matters to CT natives

[AZHuskiePop]

As for me, not a UConn alum either. Went to SCSU to play baseball at a lower level, and just had a bunch of friends and relatives that went to UConn. I was up there partying all the time, including being with my Pike friend at Voskuhl's house the night of the final in '99. Have been a big-time UConn bball fan since the 90s, even though I didn't go there.

Didn't go to LSU either, but am a huge fan of them having spent the first 10 years of my life in Baton Rouge. My grandfather was their OC for 20 years too, so that was sort of bred into me. Love both schools. Attended neither, lol.

UConn was the only school I applied to. That was after I was already a fan. Somehow, I was accepted.

I still can't believe I only applied to just Pyongyang-era UConn out of all schools...

Only one I applied to also... never planned or looked elsewhere. The first draft lottery limited me to almost 3 semesters. Couldn't see spending anymore money before being draft-eligible. Finished 21 years later at CCSU (shorter commute), but my heart still bleeds blue.
