Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3154748, member: 9403"] To me, what's especially impressive about UConn's players is that it's very hard to maintain the fine line between demanding excellence and never being satisfied with being less than number 1, and becoming a conceited, egomaniacal jerk in the process. Feeding that hunger and ambition without it overtaking you with ego and hubris is just very hard to achieve. Yet just about every Husky to graduate has managed to maintain the former without having the latter, which is rare in high-level sports. If you think back on some of the more self-satisfied, egotistical players in WCBB over the past decade or so, none has worn a Huskies uniform even though that uniform is the one getting its banner hung in Gampel more years than not. It's a huge part of why I admire Geno so much, even though is has come at the expense of Stanford on numerous occasions... [/QUOTE]
