Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 1989818, member: 1772"] Before Geno became Geno, before Pat became Pat and Muffett became Muffett, the Techster teams of those days literally put WCBB on the map...they were that good. The entire exercise of trying to compare teams of different eras is fruitless, inherently flawed and ultimately silly. What that once mighty program accomplished stands on its own merit, undiminished, as does the current UConn glory train. Who would beat whom? Well, I can understand Barmore's pride, but that is a question best avoided altogether...just as is similar speculation about topics like, for example, 1995 Huskies vs. 2016 Huskies. The biggest takeaway from the Techster era is a bitter lesson, one that we may now be seeing play out in Knoxville...the slide from dominance into potential obscurity can be a pretty slippery slope! Anyone who imagines that it can't happen here is delusional. Let's enjoy the current magic carpet ride while we can. [/QUOTE]
