They were incredible people to work with, and we’d also like to extend a special thank you to the sports staff at the New Haven Register, Hartford Courant and Ken Best of UConn Magazine. Mac Cerullo and Russell Blair, thank you for all the help. Adam Giardino, Andrew Callahan, Chris Jones and the rest of WHUS, thanks for the cameos.
