<p>Thousands of people lined the streets of downtown Hartford on April 17th, waiting for a chance to cheer on the NCAA National Champion UConn Huskies. When Hall of Fame head coach Jim Calhoun addressed the crowd he said: I just want to tell you ... this is our third trip up here and it doesn't get old. Our fans are the No. 1 fans in all of America.
