Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3411633, member: 5798"] If some TN fan(s) had the temerity (the stones) to hurl obscenities at random UConn fans on the road, can you imagine the reception Geno, Evina and the team will get next year when they go to Knoxville? If I’m Geno, that’s not road trip I’m looking forward to. I’m not subjecting my girls to that type of garbage and disrespect, for what? They didn’t do or say anything to, or about Tennessee, its players or the program to deserve that type of reaction (verbal assaults) from LV fans. The reception they receive will determine if UConn ever returns there again under Geno’s watch. If TN is truly interested in resuming an ongoing home and home series, their fans must be on their best behavior without incident when UConn comes to town. My guess is this will be a one time visit. I would be very interested to know if any of our fans crossed the line and hurled any obscenities or made any disrespectful comments or gestures to any TN fans Thursday. I hope not. We’re better than that. That woman “confirmed” the hate and vitriol that is (imo) shared by many old guard LV fans. When you hear about incidents of that nature, it’s hard to have any empathy or respect for their program or it’s fans. I’m not turning the other cheek. We don’t have to like them, but that does not mean we can’t be on our best behavior, show our class and pride, and conduct ourselves accordingly in their presence. I wonder if any young impressionable children were within earshot of that obscene comment? It appears from that woman’s perspective, the only thing that has changed concerning this rivalry over the last 13 years is the date on the calendar. I would love to get a first hand “Detailed” report from a UConn fan (wearing UConn gear) that attends the game next year. What they saw, what they heard and how they were treated and received during their time in and outside of the arena. [/QUOTE]
