Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 4742053, member: 6158"] Media darlings is very apt term to describe poor (and lazy) journalism by the media and particularly ESPN. Look at things on the superficial surface level (say 5 star recruits) and jumping on the hype bandwagon. Create a narrative and beat it to death (bluebloods) with talking heads including loud talking and "consensus." They are selling advertising for a corporation. If Uconn can hold onto the formula for winning they have developed they will also "change the world" of media reporting by making them look more and more ridiculous. Especially from the standpoint that they will have to eat more and more crow as their winning will demonstrate. The more arrogant reporters are the more irrational they become. They are not the story. It's about the kids, coaching, fans and winning. That is what Uconn is selling. The truth does not lie. College Basketball Capital of the World. [/QUOTE]
