Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3058271, member: 5798"] CD is responsible for that. She instilled the habit of the players doing that years ago. It's been paying dividends for years. That's one of the many reasons UConn WBB has fans all over the country. If you come out and acknowledge the young fans, sign an autograph or take a selfie with them, talk with them for a moment, you've got a fan for life. Because the young fan will never forget that moment. It's a small thing for the player, but a very LARGE thing to the fan. Last year, [B]Stewie[/B] was kind enough to stop and take a picture with me as she was strolling through the casino with a teammate where the Storm was playing the Aces the next night in Las Vegas. She was very gracious and cordial. I just happened to have my UConn hat on at the time. I did not attempt to engage her in any idle chit chat, like what a huge UConn fan I was. I simply thanked her for giving me a moment, and went on my way. I was a big fan of hers before that, but I became a BIGGER fan afterwards simply because she gave me a moment of her time. I attended that game the next night (the Aces's inaugural home game). It was hard to root for her and the Aces at the same time. regardless, I did enjoy the game. The Storm won that game BTW. :D [/QUOTE]
