Message: [QUOTE="itsasport, post: 3830758, member: 306"] At the University of the Pacific, Although I was brought up in Willimantic, I was gone by 1968. One memory is the team going onto the court single file before the Anthem. That is not shown on TV. Very classy. I had great seats close to the court. There was not supposed to be reserved seating. But, because of the huge crowd, I had to park far away, getting in a few minutes before game time, But, the University of Nevada had roped off seating with a sign "UConn fans only" very nice. One reason might have been that a large number of UConn fans, including myself, had bought seasons' tickets to get into the stadium early. Most memorably, it was Heather best game of her career. I was basically at court level, Heather was in the low post on the opposite end of the court from me, her eyes seeming to look straight at mine- but she was looking at the UConn n guards, demanding the ball. I do not know why she did not play with that fire in in other games I guess she was just too sweet a person. But she was the only UConn player to have any success depending Griiner (ExceptI, I think Tina as a senior) After the game, she was called over to the announcers for the post-game interview, UConn fan sat close to hear the conversation.. I always used to mock the people gawking in those situations, but, in watching the rely at home, there I was with a stupid smile on my face. [/QUOTE]
