Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3901197, member: 3535"] I agree with the initial point you made about a team not being invincible. There is no such thing until after a season is over to say any team is invincible. OFC there is going to be posters that believe the cup is 4'5th's full. With that said - you point out the certain positive posters but there is also the other side that continually looks at things as the being 1/5th full. You almost get the feeling that some fans on here are at times ashamed as to how great UCONN wcbb program is. So they bend over backwards to not be "THAT" "dreaded homer." And another group - for example- -- would argue with your use of the word "[B]tremendous" [/B]to describe what it would be like for UCONN to "just" make it to the FF without winning it all. You know there are quite a few posters on here that go into "Vince Lombardi" mode and think it's no big deal UCONN goes to the FF without winning title, right? It's championship or bust/ who cares. So just saying you picked out those that are positive but there's also some on here at the other side. I prefer the positive because -- the teams under Geno have been beastly over many years. Even your comment though is more negative. Unless you think that any FF UCONN gets to as being a [B] tremendous [/B]accomplishment? If not, how is it that a team that was primarily ranked in top 4 at the start of season and is now number 1 in polls, number 2 overall number 1 seed - how is it considered a [B]tremendous [/B]accomplishment unless you are glass is half-full type? I say some of the posters on here got to stop riding the break. It's okay to let your car drive. Get your foot off the break and step on the pedal. Yeah - this year it's very tough. And even in future nothing is assured. But it's okay for a time that we pretend that we aren't "Vince Lombardi"- and just be continually amazed at how tremendous this program really is. I think some posters have too much hard bark on them for a college team. Hey NFL board as an example- things are a lot different. [/QUOTE]
