Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4042874, member: 591"] I think the remark is on a more "over-all" basis. Having gone to a Rutgers WBB game in Madison "in the day" and talked to a couple folks, she is correct. In fact, very common in the B1G, it is different than the UConn fandom, which is largely WBB driven. It seems different from fandom in the Northeast in general. At most of those schools, football is king, and then whatever the school is known for - Nebraska for instance has volleyball, many have strong MBB programs, etc. I can honestly say I think UConn is the only program where there is such a large WBB fanbase that probably doesn't really follow other sports. And that were attracted to being a UConn WBB fan directly. There are other programs with strong WBB support (South Carolina, Tennessee, Iowa State, others) but many of those fans came to WBB from other sports. [/QUOTE]
