Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3347828, member: 6488"] Sometimes you rise up because you're just so darn good. Other times you just stand still, and everyone collapses around you. In past years we've been so dominant that the expectations were we would always prevail and by large margins. When we slip, folks say "That doesn't look like UConn." When we're going great guns, folks say "That's the UConn we've come to know." Our standard for the team is awfully high. This goes back to the notion that "we're in a league of our own." Perhaps that isn't happening now; perhaps Oregon and Baylor are truly far and away the best. Well, I'll say this: if the Ducks and Bears are really that good, they'll have to show us. Then we'll either ascend to the very top of the game or sit mired in the middle of the first 10. We'll be entirely in charge of our own fate. I like our odds. [/QUOTE]
