Thanks
Dear Jim,
I know you've been around longer than that '90-'91 season, but that is when I joined Husky Nation. I was twelve years old. I'll even admit that I had already started up the stairs for bed when Tate George hit "The Shot." I figured it was over.
Having been transplanted into a different Husky Nation (Washington), I am constantly reminded how I rarely get to watch my Huskies. But I watched you take two teams to the National Championship, no small feat. And I sure as heck didn't mind paying the price on ESPN Full Court to watch you earn your 700th victory.
So thanks Jim Calhoun, for engineering one of the finest programs in the country; for always bringing class to the NCAA; for always being passionate about Connecticut basketball--even when there are only 10 seconds left and you have a 20 point lead.
You are joy to watch!
