Paige saying bye to Tennessee

[Bills Fan]

Don't think so, as the series has not been renewed, so it sounded to me more related to no future games (as of today).

I hope we play next year and as a gentleman, Geno offers to begin the two game series at TBA.

Let's see, we lose Lou and they lose Horston. In addition to all our active players, we pick up PB, Azzi, CD. Ice, Jana, KK, AS and Q. I think the LVs would look back at this years' 17 pt loss, fondly as they get run out of TBA by 30+ in 2023-24.

I think you got it right. My thoughts exactly.

This is just a guess but early on the camera focused in on a Tennessee fan holding up a giant hand with speakers on each side - a signal to make noise. Near the end of the game It got very quiet so Paige was just signaling the fans to make some noise.

By the way, to all of the nay sayers out there - what do think of the black uniforms now?

Still and will always dislike the black uniform national flag blue white and red those are the UConn colors

When I think of crowds booing Geno I remember years ago the Huskies played Rutgers at the RAC. After the game, a reporter asked Geno if he heard the crowd booing him and he said, “That was the Rutgers fans? I thought it was my wife”.

My favorite is "Booing? I thought they were mooing!"

They need us more than we need them. If they're going to be that chippy, especially with our # of available players, I'd refuse to play them. That Rickea was a piece of work. The coach should have sat her after her T.

I believe it's a bit misogynistic to expect these athletes to act like "ladies". They're competitors and empowered individuals. That's what we love about them and what makes them. special. I love it. I'm sure they heard much worse from the Tennessee fans than Paige's gestures suggested.

I believe that the 2023-24 game would be either at Gampel or the XL Center.

Unfortunately there isn't a 23-24 game on the schedule. This is the end of the series unless Geno and Coach Harper figure out a way to renew it.

I think the team that is wearing the unis are badass!

If they both want to renew it, signing the contract should be a formality. Remember that UConn has two vacancies in next year's schedule because of the Big East's decision to reduce the conference schedule from 20 games to 18.

Although it's not a sure thing, I think that both Geno and Kelly see more positives than negatives in playing this game. For one thing, the TV ratings (see "Eyeballs" thread) are nothing to sneeze at.

safe to say after the Geno comments that ship sailed.

 

[ThisJustIn]

"Call me!"

"PAIGE waving Good Bye, Thank you for the warm hospitality...and We Look forward to hosting you in Storrs next Season."

She has such a good heart!

By the way, to all of the nay sayers out there - what do think of the black uniforms now?

Still hate them.

 

[TheGOAT23]

If they renew the series, please please please play at Gampel.

 

[FormerCTrez]

Maybe Paige had friends or family there that she was waving to?

And she does have a ton of friends!!

 

[FormerCTrez]

Not sure if I am a fan of this. I like the spunk. But, maybe, you should play in more than a quarter of your team's games before displaying a 'tude.

I get your point of view, but have you ever seen her play?

 

[socal613ws]

Paige has to be terribly disappointed the way her Uconn career has turned out. She could of, would of been the best Uconn had ever seen. I always wondered if her thin body frame has had anything to do with her injuries. Paige deserved better than the hand she has been dealt and I hope when she comes back, it will be with a vengeance and tears up the competition! GU HUSKIES!!!!

and what proof do you have that she would have had the best career of anyone at Uconn? Did Stewart attend Uconn? Cause there's no way after the Arizona loss Paige could outduel Stewart career wise.

Another great line from Diana - I assume it was playing Tennessee. The fans boo'd her - she was asked about it - her reply? "Booing? I thought they were mooing". Awesome answer.

For the record, LOVED Paige's response. Boo the coaches, fine. Boo the players? I guess it's a thing, but Paige threw it back in their face. Also similar was Dee's "call me" gesture to (I believe) Duke fans back in the day... but at least the Duke fans were clever... Cameron Crazies - nothing like them...

UConn fans boo opposing players all the time…during intros the students yell “sucks” after every players name is announced…it’s been happening for years and is fans trying to create a home court advantage. As long as they don’t cross the line like duke fans, all good.
