Sure is! I must admit that I need to take a more active interest in football. I don't follow it like I do baseball. The Patriots and Boston College (and I think even UConn) football teams are doing really well.
Can't stand the NBA, however we root for the University of Connecticut women's and men's basketball teams. I don't follow hockey much since the Whalers left CT years ago...
UConn football is hot at the moment, with UConn its first defeat of a top ten college football team ( South Florida ). The more wins UConn does, and if it wins the Big East title, they can go into a major bowl. Looking forward to the men and women Huskies college basketball, the REAL season.
With Ray Allen on the Celtics team and from what I have heard from someone on the bus last week, the Bruins doing good, New England is looking up to being a powerhouse for sports.
