As a kid I poo-poo'ed women's sports until when I was in HS (the 70's) and my brother was in the Air Force stationed in DC.  Somehow, he hooked up with 2 Maryland Women's basketball players.  He came home to NJ on leave and these 2 women stopped in NJ for a visit on their way to Long Island.  My brother and I played them 2x2 and won, but not because we were better basketball players.  They were clearly more skilled, we were just bigger and stronger.  That opened my eyes.  I woke, to coin a phrase. :)

Moving to CT in '89 everything was UConn.  Huskiemania was becoming a thing.  I used to pick up single game tickets a few times a season until the best available seats were in the double letter rows at the Civic Center.  I decided this is nuts.  In 1999 I got season tickets, men in Hartford, women in Gampel.  I wanted my young daughters just entering HS to become enthused with the college atmosphere.  I've been a Women's season ticket holder ever since (now only Hartford).
