Message: [QUOTE="Oldbones, post: 3118888, member: 5753"] Sorry for the crepe-hanging, but I'm still in mourning here, feeling a little better with the ND loss, but I am feeling as if we are In that final scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian, trying to "Always look on the bright side of life." Great accomplishments, but being so close so often recently, arguably one basket in each of the past three years, is making me wistful for the juggernauts of prior years, and being comforted by the banners on the walls. I dread our gradually becoming the UCLA (or even Kentucky) of the MCBB, or the Celtics, or the Yankees, or the Montreal Canadiens, with a glorious history, but very little to show for the past couple of decades. One year, or even two, of missing out, and the UCONN WCBB fan base can be called spoiled, but now we seem to be shifting to a longer period of drought, and angst, and trying to be comfortable with being close, and trying to make sense of the immediate future.. I'm sad for these wonderful young women. I'm sad for family, friends, Boosters, and Boneyarders and for everyone who wants total success, not such a tantalizingly close view of the Promised Land.
