Well UConn won the national championship in men's basketball for the third time. It is pretty impressive that Jim Calhoun has been the coach for all three. I think about my grandmother and Great Uncle. They were both sports fans, although their passion was really only baseball and whatever game I was playing. They both died before they got to see the Red Sox win a World Series. Actually my grandmother was 4 months old when the Sox won in 1918. Here is how I have been blessed throughout my lifetime. These are the teams I have rooted for:
Boston Red Sox: 2004, 2007
New England Patriots: 2001, 2003, 2004
UConn Husky Women's Basketball: 1995, 2000, 2002-'04, 2009-'10
UConn Husky Men's Basketball: 1999, 2004, 2011
Los Angeles Lakers: 1980, '82, '85, '87-'88, 2000 -'02 (Then Kobe ran out Shaq and I defected.)
Boston Celtics: 2008
Hartford Whalers: Adams Division Champions 1986-'87
I hope my luck continues. I know that I could have grown up someone where else, but thankfully I grew up in New England.
