Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2823943, member: 5798"] [B]Let me rephrase this.......................[/B] There are many reasons why many LV fans dislike UConn and its fan base. Sometimes fans tend to "group" fans together = A group of fans (people) are judged by the actions or thoughts of a few. Hate or a strong dislike has been known to cloud one's rationale and judgment on more than one occasion. When I looked at the story, I noticed the source: The Knox News". It must be a slow news day in Knoxville. I asked my self why would a responsible? media outlet unearth a news story that was 22 years old, dead and buried, totally forgotten about, and did not disclose any new information? For what purpose? To inform or incite? It will be interesting to see/hear the reception Geno and his team receives from the LV fans when UConn takes the floor the first time in Knoxville in 2020. How much hate and vitriol (if any) has carried over from 2007? It will be a date that will be circled on every LV fan's calendar when the 2020 schedule is announced. LV fans of all ages will want to attend that game. Older fans will want to "welcome" Geno back to Knoxville, new fans because they have never witnessed/attended a Tenn/UConn game. [B]Resumption of UConn/Tennessee series[/B] - With all the the talk and thoughts of fans on both sides being expressed, [B]I wonder how Pat would feel about the resumption of the series if she were still alive and well?[/B] Any anger that [URL='http://www.courant.com/topic/sports/basketball/maya-moore-PESPT00016154-topic.html']Maya Moore[/URL] felt toward the University of [URL='http://www.courant.com/topic/sports/college-sports/tennessee-volunteers-ORSPT000000290-topic.html']Tennessee[/URL] has faded with time. Moore hasn't held a grudge. [I]“People, unfortunately when it comes to sports, sometimes take liberties to say things that don’t have any substance to them, and I understand it, but it’s not helpful for people on the receiving end. Again, I don’t know who said what. There’s not a person I’m associating anything with, but there was a point in the recruiting process after everything was said and done where it wasn't graceful. But again, I haven’t thought about that in ages.” - Maya Moore[/I] Moore doesn’t lament missing the chance to be a part of the rivalry, saying that she was able to play plenty of teams who acted as temporary rivalries. [I]“I don’t know what it would've been while I was there,” Moore said. “We had some good memories against some other teams that became something like a rivalry, but new history will be created with this one.” [/I] [/QUOTE]
