Special day for pair of former Huskies

It isn't often that the worlds of my two beats (UConn football and women's basketball) collide but today was such a day courtesy of Jimmy Bennett and Heather Buck getting married.

I saw some photos from my Facebook friends and while I wasn't at the ceremony, clearly it was a rather large UConn contingent at the festivities including bridesmaid Kelly Faris and groomsmen Tyler Bullock, Steve Greene and Bryan Paull.

I've covered my share of UConn athletes over the years and if I had to come up with a list of the most engaging and likeable players to deal both Heather and Jimmy would be very high on the list.
