Best UCONN Day Since 2011 NC

[UConn990411]

Anytime Esther stops by she makes it a great day!!!

Anytime free doesn't stop by makes it a great day.

Somehow, though, this thread turned into a pissing match. The BY never ceases to amaze.

I wouldn't trade what UConn has done in the last 25 years for what RU, BC and SU have in terms of Conference realignment security.

That's an interesting point. Is it better to be a has-been than a never was? Is it better to have memories of the past or hope for the future? I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. I'd prefer hope over memories, it keeps you going.

At one point, the highest rated basketball games in ESPN history were UConn women's postseason games vs Tennessee (and one vs Oklahoma) during the Bird-Taurasi era. Higher than any of their NBA or men's college games. Granted the stakes were higher since they were tournament games, but still, that blows the doors off the nobody cares arguments.

Congrats on finding 1 women's game people watched. Last year 1.84 million watched the championship game and that had a 39-0 team.

That's equal to how many people watched the army smu armed forces bowl game, which was on a Thursday at noon.

Keep trying to blow the doors off that argument. Maybe try using some recent relevant facts if you can find any.

Something is seriously wrong with that and I will need evidence of this........not enough people care for that to happen EVER........between Duke, UNC and so many huge BE games there's just no way..........maybe it was CT or some ratio of women vs men but not ever the highest rated/viewed game!!....show me Gurley

I agree that isn't true. How about a link or any proof whatsoever.

I'm surprised you were amazed by this! I know your statement was mock surprise.

We are the prototypical rabid fans - argumentative plus convinced if we were playing, coaching or running the university things would be a lot better. Fantasy does intrude into reality frequently. It happens even when we see and know the people we are with. But it reaches critical mass when we can boldly assert our ideas behind a mask of anonymity. This is like mardi gras where, instead of necklaces, arguing and dissing are the things being tossed out.

I heard a rumor that the reason for the Tulane invite was Aresco has been reading The Boneyard. Not for its ideas but for its atmosphere.

I will take your lack of response to mean you fabricated that stat
