28. Don't let the name fool ya. I grew up basically between Norwalk and Bridgeport.
Edited on Sun Mar-29-09 07:38 PM by KamaAina
Then did the college thing in New Haven (UNH and Yale). Then did some bonus time in the Elm City (that's New Haven :P ) working for Mother Yale.

You haven't lived until you've been on a Metro-North commuter train leaving NYC for Conn. the night three two-time champs UConn killed played at St. John's at the Garden! Husky fans from my part of the state don't get much of a chance to see 'em up at Gampel (all the way across the state, ~60 miles away), so that's the big one. Overheard: "Bridgeport, Connecticut is the greatest city in the world!" (not from me, I swear...)

edit: spacing

47. I'm not a big defender of Jim Calhoun
Edited on Sun Mar-29-09 08:59 PM by NewJeffCT
but, the guy that wrote the article - Adrian Wojnarowski (sp) - has had issues with Calhoun going back well over a decade to when he was at the Waterbury Republican-American in the early to mid 90s (the newspaper that broke the HUGH story - complete with blaring headlines - that Ned Lamont had a great aunt or uncle that was a commie! I'm not joking - Red Scare at its best in 2006)

And, I speak as somebody who used to do some sportswriting on the side.

Now that I no longer have dog in this fight (I'm a KY girl, who loves UK by birth and LOVES Rick Pitino for UL), I'm going to get behind UConn. Why not?

51. I know all about bunco/boxed wine hangovers
I was forced into such a situation by my mom back in late January. So I'm vaguely familiar with the pathos of which Midlo suffers from. Therefore I'm a sister of sympathy or empathy (I'm not f'n sure which, I'm so confused).

As for the final four, I have nobody, I'm a bereft orphan begging for someone to take me in. UK was never in (TYG they're getting rid of Gillespie) and I knew this morning, even as I was putting them on, that the red top and black pants were a fashion faux pas.

So now I'm reduced to begging to be taken in.
