>>..."However, we are now entering a new era of league affiliation for UConn athletics and I am excited about it for both our baseball program and our whole University. We are now in a league with great research universities who have the same goals and aspirations that we do."
"The next time you drive to Storrs, you will find that they did not take down any men’s or women’s basketball championship banners from Gampel Pavilion, the Fiesta Bowl signs from the football offices or banners at J.O. Christian Field to celebrate our five College World Series trips or the 2011 NCAA Super Regional we went to. Our jersey still says UConn."
"It is going to be different – no doubt about it. And it is up to us to make it better, by continuing to win and win the right way. One hundred years ago, Windham High and Norwich Academy were our rivals. We’ll find new ones. It’s all good. No reason to cry. We will bring Husky baseball to cities such as Memphis, Orlando, New Orleans and Houston."
"The new baseball league will feature excellent programs and an RPI that might even be better than what the Big East’s was last year. I’ve always wondered what Wes Bialosuknia, Walt Dropo, or Red O’Neill would say if they’d heard someone say that the Big East made UConn. We had a rich tradition before the conference, and we’ll have the same in the future by making it from the inside out, not from the outside in. We’re going to miss what we had with our old foes, but nobody is crying in our program. We’re looking forward to what is next. "<<
We all know (because we have been told over and over and over) that football and then basketball drive the bus but some how we can't forget the other sports programs effected by the divide.
