Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3284728, member: 5798"] This is not the place to be offended because your team was not picked to finish as high as you think they should. Several years ago, I suggested that UConn should be ranked number 1 in the preseason polls because they were the reigning national champions. They had just lost Brianna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck. That post was met with an avalanche of scorn, disagreement and cynicism. Their take was that this year’s team is not last year’s team. The fact that they lost 3/5 of their starters was significant. Don’t take it personal. The critics here look forward not backward. If your team is worthy of that type of recognition and praise, they’ll have to earn it between the lines against “quality “ competitors, not the cupcakes she schedules in the preseason. [/QUOTE]
