Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 5349628, member: 417"] I was busy with grandparental duties during the game so I only saw a 5+ minute highlight on YouTube. Nice to see the new players in action. Two reactions I have from posts on this thread: 1) At least two of you wrote about their disappointment in Ayanna’s play. Can we have a little grace here given that she’s been injured for the past two years? It’s not only rust, if you will, but also trusting that she won’t get re-injured. I recall Azzi and others talking about the mental healing that accompanies the physical recovery when you have suffered multiple injuries. 2) As always, there is some discussion about the quality of the broadcast crew. We’ve been spoiled. And given that our games this year are going to be broadcast by multiple outlets, I think we’re generally going to be much more disappointed going forward without having a dedicated broadcast team. Plus I think many will find it more challenging to even watch the games in the first place. Personally I am concerned that what’s happening to UConn’s WBB Is becoming similar in to the NFL’s approach. My grand-parenting is occurring in upstate New York - last night I couldn’t watch the Bills game even though I am in their viewing market. I know the NFL will remain hugely popular but for myself, I find my interest waning slightly whenever there are barriers to watching the product. [/QUOTE]
