Gov. Rell has declared today through Sunday "UConn Huskies Blue & White Weekend" in honor of the University of Connecticut's men's and women's basketball teams. The weekend will be extended through Tuesday if either or both teams make it to the NCAA championship game.
"March Madness has turned into April Madness in Connecticut," the governor said in a prepared statement. "Although most of us will not be in Detriot or St. Louis to cheer on the Huskies, we can certainly do our part in showing our unwavering support for them right here in Connecticut."
Rell is urging state residents to show their Husky pride this weekend. She suggests wearing UConn gear, pinning a blue and white ribbon on your lapel, displaying a sign or flag in your front yard or window or getting a blue and white flower arrangement for your home.
She is also asking area business leaders to participate. Some Hartford businesses will display all blue and white lights this weekend, she said.
As a UConn alum, I love seeing people support my alma mater. Go Huskies!
