Message: [QUOTE="Gluap, post: 4048229, member: 8041"] I have been going to games since we played on campus. I remember fondly some very cold and windy days spent on bleachers which seemed even colder ! I have been to basketball games way back as well, predating Gampel. The field house has some equally great memories. I even been to baseball with my first game probably in mid 70's. I could mention soccer, hockey visits as well but you get the idea. obviously I represent an older demographic of Uconn fan. A group which seemingly was more committed to the University than a single team. The fact we have splintered into groups less tolerant of each other seem to reflect our society need to argue at every turn. People now seem to feel their preference must be the correct one . But worse , yours must be wrong and I must convince you of it. Sports is a privilege in my opinion that we share because our university exists in a state in which it can provide it. A collective effort to keep a healthy vibrant sports environment requires an appreciation at least rather than a denigration of the entire sports landscape. By All means have a favorite and support them. But be a Uconn fan and do no harm to the others ! [/QUOTE]
