Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2006863, member: 1414"] I'm not a participation trophy guy. But I also don't get some unique amazing satisfaction from winning NCs honestly. Each game is a game. I enjoy watching the games. I enjoy tournament games the most, then league tournament games, then big, important league games, and OOC games against big names, then ordinary league games, and then cupcakes, in that order. I know I'm an oddball on this score. It is what it is. Now I will admit that the first NC in 1999 was amazing (as was the first NIT championship when I was a student in Storrs), because I never really imagined it was possible before that. The Red Sox WS win in 2004 ending an 86 year drought, that was special. The first Patriots superbowl win against the Rams was special. But the subsequent titles for all those teams were less meaningful for me. The win over Butler, however fantastic the 11 game run, was pretty boring actually. Several other games in that 11 game run were more enjoyable by far. The "shot" game over Clemson remains my all time favorite UConn game, watching from the downstairs at Challenges across from the Civic Center. [/QUOTE]
