Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4034154, member: 364"] Close your eyes. It is the 1970s and disco is just starting. As a college student, sports minded guys rarely went to UCONN Football in the Fall; UCONN MBB was not a religion & UCONN WBB was just for family and friends ... and maybe a cute girl you'd like to date (which I did in 1979). No Brand School. And we had just joined the Big East. We weren't outclassed the first 2 years; but soon would be under Perno. OUR sports identity was Soccer. We packed cars and went to Providence (to see us beat Brown) or Oneonta (to see us and Hartwick). It wasn't a surprise to me when someone mentioned that UCONN Soccer had led the nation in attendance in an incredible number of years. All that is gone ... probably for over 10 years. That is the lack of energy in the HC. Benedict has no reference point to those days. Until someone gave him a check. [/QUOTE]
