“T”itles (“T”he “T”urtles) “T”ogether

It is (probably), certainly in esoteric fashion, that a University of Connecticut college basketball crown was followed by an Ohio State football such, for a second time, ten years after the first (’14 and ’24).

In similar fashion, “U.Conn” and the New England Patriots won titles together (per the headline cue The Turtles), 10 years apart in ’04 and ’14.

I cited, in a previous post, that after 3 previous “same year in the final” failures to both win, that the Dodgers and Eagles each titled in the fourth such instance.

Concerning the 18 time NBA champion Boston Celtics, this is the second time an Eagles crown followed one by the Celtics (the other in ’60, when John F. Kennedy was elected U.S. President).

Four times (’61, ’62 ’65, ’66) a Packers title followed one won by the Celtics with the Pittsburgh Steelers and S.F. 49ers joining the Eagles, with 2 crowns each in years the Celtics took NBA title honors.

A long time since “invest a dime” and even pay phones.

Oh and finally warmer weather and while not quite “Stormy Weather,” by Lena (who am I to call the great Lena Horne, Lena) “Happy Together” truly resonates and hail Mark Volman “Flo,” and Howard Kaylan “Eddie” and “The Turtles!”
