Around SBN: How A Letter From Tom Coughlin Helped One Fan's Recovery

Portland Trail Blazers fan sayin' hi and good luck!

Hello all,

Look, I really don't know anything about your school. I'm not even sure what state you're in, but I know it's east of the Rockies. Here's what I do know:

I likes me some Dante Cunningham!

Seriously. He's not like a budding mega-star, but hands down he's my favorite rookie on our team this year, more so than Jeff Pendergraph (fun and hard nosed from Arizona) and Patty Mills (Aussie Olympic standout but otherwise a waterbug type PG). He's got great hustle, great defense, scraps for rebounds, hits that mid-range turnaround J, does whatever his coach tells him and has that awesome "gap-tooth" mouth guard that makes him look like he's going to club you when you turn your back on him.

So with March Madness coming up, no Oregon teams made it into the tourney and the only other NW team is the Huskies, who I am contractually obligated to hate. Yes, our star Brandon Roy is an ex-Husky, but we forgive him for that. So I needed somebody to root for going into the tournament, and I have settled for your team, in honor of Dante Cunningham.

If you could please, tell me what I'm supposed to yell at the TV screen when your team is on the floor.

Dante

Is one of my all-time favorite Wildcats. We are really seeing the effects of losing him to the NBA on the team this year—his hustle, inside presence and rebounding. Things you can yell at the screen while watching are: “Let’s Go ’Nova!” or “Go Cats!”

yeah dante was sweet.

Obviously the team missed him desperately this year.

Last year’s Nova team would have run roughshod over that Duke team, or for that matter, most of the rest of the teams in the tourney.

Dante’s one of the best recent Nova players. I pull for Portland now because of him, so there’s some reciprocity for you.
