Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3057747, member: 5798"] When trolls post comments here suggesting that no one cares about WCBB, I laugh, pay it no mind, and move on to the next post. I don't give it a second thought because I know better. Look at the attendance at the women's final four EVERY YEAR. Pure "hardcore" WCBB fans whose team IS NOT in the field will make that pilgrimage to the "Mecca" to watch the 4 best teams remaining in the tournament win those last two games. The TV numbers (ratings) are not bad either. Geno calls UConn "The Circus". Well, who doesn't like the circus? Barnum & Bailey's The Greatest Shown on Earth (and other circuses) made millions of people happy across the country for decades when they came to town. We took our children and grandchildren to the circus every year. When it hits town, it's an event you don't want to miss. I always liked watching the clown car (about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle) come out, and see the endless procession of clowns get out. An unopened can of sardines had more room than those clowns did as they loaded up and prepared to come out. I wonder if anyone of them ever passed gas after crawling in and the door was shut. :eek: Look at the "sell out" crowd that turned out in [B]Reno[/B] for Gabby's homecoming. The largest crowd ever in school history to see a women's BB game in the Lawlor Events Center. Over 7 thousand fans, for a Nevada WCBB game that usually generates less than 400. Let's not forget the fans that showed up for Kia Nurse's homecoming in Toronto, or Napheesa Collier's against the St. Louis Billikens in [B]Missouri[/B]. Then there's the sellout crowd that came to see UConn in [B]Berkeley[/B] (Cal) earlier this season. Their program received lots of national media attention for that game, and the coach was very thankful for it. There are lots of WCBB fans out there, and lots of UConn WBB fans [B]everywhere. [/B]The numbers speak for themselves!!! Teams (coaches) have taken a number and are lined up to play UConn in the coming years, for the national media exposure and experience if nothing else. If you're a new coach (or an old one) at a school trying to rebuild the program and put it on the map, what better way to do it than with a game against the perennial top program in the country, UConn. Especially given Geno's attitude of willing to play anybody, anywhere at anytime. ;) [/QUOTE]
