Who here is a UCONN fan?
Huskies unite! Do we have the strongest team you've seen in years or what?

1. Me, me, me!
Actually, I'm more of a fan of the women, but the guys are doing great. I was really pleased with Ted Kennedy's comments after the unity dinner the other night when ESPN was giving everybody updates on the (men's) scores. He saw fit to mention the BC and UConn women. Whatta guy!

10. I pick UCONN to win it all.
I'm not a fan, but it's not hard to see that UCONN has the superior team this year.

14. I think so

But they'll have to get rid of Duke twice to do it.

Looking forward to that happening... :)

16. I spent a bit of time in NC a while back

About a month on the Duke campus, and the rest of the time just north of Greensboro.

"Off-campus" pseudo-Dukies are unbearable, especially the clowns who couldn't get within 500 SAT points of the Duke campus yet refer to the b-ball program as "we."

The real Duke students/faculty were quite nice, actually.

But I STILL don't like Duke!!!

22. Arrggghhh!
Actually, I think I must be the only person in CT who pretty much doesn't care one way or another about UConn basketball. It seems like everywhere I go, that's the only thing people have to talk about. My daughter's 12 and plays basketball. I'd much rather watch her play. :)
