While it's true that change is an inevitable part of life, and that God may work in mysterious ways, it's also important to recognize the value of tradition and the wisdom that can be gained from the experiences of previous National Championship UConn squads. While some customs may indeed become corrupt over time, this doesn't necessarily mean that all old ways of building a team are automatically obsolete or harmful. Rather, it's important to evaluate each tradition on its own merits and consider whether it continues to serve a valuable purpose in the present day. Ultimately, the goal should be to strike a balance between honoring the past and embracing the future, rather than simply discarding one in favor of the other.

It is not the strongest of the blue bloods that survives, nor the most popular that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. - Darwin

I actually made an error in the quote' It should be" Lest one good custom should corrupt the world." I realize that the off season is the time for absurdities, but perhaps we should temper our absurdities with some humor. Remember, we post on sacred ground. Finally, in the spirit of fellowship, let me opine that the little dogs have to move over when the big dog wants to sit down.
May the sun never set on the Yard.

Well, it has been quite some time since the women's team was considered "bad for basketball" and I'd off that the overwhelming narrative that the media created around that era of domination was not bad for basketball, but certainly seemed to be bad for UConn women's basketball.
