Message: [QUOTE="BigBird, post: 2034581, member: 4247"] If I had a color commentator of her quality with me through the many years of doing radio play-by-play, I would have been thrilled. As to UConn specifically, she wants other teams to see and embrace the challenge posed by UConn, and she has said so. She is a promoter of WCBB, not a promoter of UConn only. It's funny how many of us have come to the BY with no legacy of attachment to UConn. We came because we got hooked on the really excellent quality of the game played by the Huskies. We like excellence. So does Doris Burke. First lesson of show business: Everything plays to mixed reviews. That's just how it is. Sports are entertainment. Not everyone is going to appreciate a team, a coach, or another fan's post, no matter how good they are. The critics aren't always "haters." Perhaps contrarians would be more accurate. They are harmless; let them be. [/QUOTE]
