Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3115641, member: 9403"] [B]Congrats[/B] to Geno and the coaching staff, the players, and the Huskies fans for another great season. You lost two key starters, had a starter who missed your entire conference tournament, and yet you still won easily and graciously, night in, night out. And you were probably just a few missed treys away from a twelfth title. All while having such a thoughtful, generous, genuine set of players. Truly - they couldn't be better representatives for your alma mater. [B]Condolences[/B] for losing another Final Four heartbreaker. I'm sure it stings, and man, the idea of KLS spending four years in a Huskies jersey and never once playing in a championship game just seems wrong. [I]It actually does not seem right with the universe.[/I] It feels especially personal as a longtime Stanford fan - when Lou picked UConn over us even though Bon Bon and Karl were at Stanford, at least I could console myself with the thought that she was guaranteeing herself some title games. And yet. [B]Thank you [/B]to all you Huskies fans, boosters, and the mods. The Boneyard became my home away from home this season; I could be certain there'd be a thoughtful, engaged, critical mass of WBB fans who not only cared about the home team, but about all the teams. It was a privilege to share bulletin board space with you, and you were more than gracious with so many outsiders coming in supporting other teams. I first became a fan of UConn when I was a grad student at Yale and had the good fortune to catch the 2013 Big East title game in Hartford vs. the Domers. Although UConn lost it in a close game, it was something of a coming out party for Stewwie, who was obviously Destined for Greatness, and went on to romp her way to a national title and three more to follow. Although I'll always be a Stanford fan first and foremost, the class and poise of that team, and every team Geno has led, has made me a permanent adopted fan. Here's to many more to come for the Huskies. If I had my wish, next year it'd be Geno v. Tara in 2020 in the title game to break a tie for most all-time coaching wins with Pat. That seems like karmic justice for all three coaches. Thank y'all. [/QUOTE]
