I grew up in Central CT.  As a child in the 50's and early 60's in major sports that I participated in (baseball and basketball) there was the Boston Celtics and New York Yankees who were out of this world great franchises and teams.  In fact,  to this day you could say Legendary.  It never occurred to me or many of my friends (OK there were a few Sox fans) that there was any conflict with the fact that they were from two different cities.  They were the living embodiment of excellence.  And excellence includes winning.  Uconn basketball (men and women) have now become that standard bearer  because they are bringing it big time.  Because they (coaches and players) demand excellence in themselves and their teams and that is the culture. And that culture and standard almost always brings winning at another level.

So I get where the man is coming from.  Watch the opening speech in Patton with George C Scott.  It's part of our DNA.
