Most Hated Husky by Opponents

[Orangutan]

Opponents fans hated DT for the same reason a lot of UConn fans hated (too strong a word) Cappie and SkyDigg. No one likes to have their butt kicked, and Cappie and Skylar had the bad habit of kicking ours, DT of kicking everyone else's.

It's sports-hate. Which is totally different from real hate. If I ever met Taurasi, I would shake her hand and tell her how much I admire her skills. When she's playing the Sky, I detest her.

Taurasi is easy to sports-hate because of her swagger and the way she sometimes acts if calls don't go her way.

What was Skylar's record against UCONN and who's butt was kicked in her last chance at a shot to win the "big one"???

Randall*

*Couldn't stand Boo Randall (while inwardly admitting that I would have loved her in a UConn uni) until I was courtside at an ABL game in Springfield. She was almost single-handedly controlling the game versus the Blizzard. During a break in the action while the ball was being inbounded near me, I yelled in total frustration "Would someone please guard Boo Randall? She's killing us!!!" Semeka was no more than 10 feet away from me and just cracked up laughing and grinned at me. A very human moment.

And this, too.

Diana definitely had swagger. She's the only player I remember getting reamed out by Geno during a game for taunting another player. For all that people are complaining about RU players in this thread, it was Diana that was clapping in the face of Tasha Pointer after making a three that I remember most clearly.

That's why I love Asjha Jones so much. She didn't yap or trash talk, she'd mysteriously clear out the paint and while all the opponents were lying on the ground, she'd make a layup. No smirk, no clap, just two points and a point made.

And what I remember is the Pondexter finger, the Prince clipping foul and Ajavon's trash talk to Strother.

Why would anyone hate Caroline Doty? She wasn't a showboat and didn't have an attitude and after she tore her ACL for the 3rd time in 5 years, she wasn't even the same player she was when she came to UConn. Injuries robbed her of a great individual career, but she still won 2 titles. This is one I just can't fathom.

Agree. I doubt 0.1% of opposing fans would have Caroline anywhere on their list.

Cappie apologized to Geno and they're still friends. No one seems to remember that.

 

[vtcwbuff]

Whatever the relationship between Auriemma and Pondexter - it has no relevance. The punk behavior stands on it's own. I could also add Pondexter's post Tohoku tsunami comments as another indicator of her character.

 

[ABachelor6CR]

I always LOATHED Tasha Pointer from RU!

Most hated Husky: Diana, no question.
Most hated by Huskies: for me, probably Skylar Diggins. I don't like her attitude, it just rubs me the wrong way.
