One anectodal story, which may be BS - is not relevant.Like you remember what you said in 73? You’re an old unhappyfart.

Besides I never said that people wouldn’t be able to figure out what it meant…DUH…..I stand by the fact that UConn athletics was totally irrelevant, and NOT known as UConn until the 80s and 90s and only became known as such nationally. You’re just wrong to think otherwise.

I’ve encountered your type before but generally by this time of the afternoon, they’re napping with their blankies. Generally people whose knee-jerk reaction is someone is lying is not someone to be trusted. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but you’re a crashing bore.

I remember around 1980 hearing a St. John's vs. UConn basketball game on the radio. The announcers where St. John's announcers. They referred to UConn as "UConn". I specifically remember the person I was with in the car thinking it was "Yukon".

Oh dear, Sports illustrated, 1957. Whatever shall we do?!

OF course UConn athletics weren't nationally known like they are now. Very few schools were, really, before the advent of cable and the sports culture.
