Rep Simmons countered, “As my colleague from North Carolina will recall, this is not the first time Duke and UConn have met in the final four. And just as our Huskies knocked off the not-so-powerful Blue Devils in 1999 to win the National Championship, UConn will again dispose of Duke on the way to the title.

The most active are “Craig and Terry” of Lane County, Oregon; Hank Nelson of Craig, Alaska; and Gary and Grady Shawver of Klawock, Alaska.

KUSH: No, not here, that's right. You can get accustomed to some outstanding footballconditions here in Arizona. You know, there's great cool evenings, et cetera -- great forthe players as well as the fans. So anyway, we played the North Carolina Tarheels, andthey're beating us at half-time, 21-26 or something like that, and it's kind of drizzlingand just miserable.

As I said, that was the origin, in my opinion,of the recognition that Arizon ... [Read More]
