Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 1761989, member: 153"] By the way, I'm not too sure about how many of you are aware of this, but the UConn women are America's team. As a person involved in youth sports for young girls and young women, I'm always amazed to see their popularity outside of UConn. When I wear UConn gear outside of New England, most of the comments I get come from either young black men showing their approval (presumably for the men), or mothers of young girls of all ethnicities commenting about UConn being their dream school. I'm really only referring to Upstate NY, Western NY, Ohio and Michigan where I've had this happen, and it happens regularly. The popularity of the women is through the roof for young girls, and I'm not even involved with youth basketball, but just soccer and lacrosse. [/QUOTE]
