Um, Colgate averaged 353 home attendance last year with no UConn game in there, and anyone who has a clue about the Raiders' attendance knows that it gets a little boost during Patriot League action, so why be such a downer on them by saying that after the great UConn game experience that that the average (excluding the UConn game) will be worse than last year? In addition the coach says she has her best team ever, and the Patriot League is not a fearsome group, and after going 7-11 and winning 4 of their last 5 last year, Colgate is rated in the middle of the 10-team group with a 2-7 Holy Cross and 0-8 American rated just ahead of it in Sagarin. Not thinking they'll be league champion, but can't see why there's any big reason for all the "very unlikely" negatives towards a team that could well develop as the year goes on, just like the did last year when they won 7 of their last 13.
Just maybe the UConn experience can be good for the Raiders and they will get a positive season this year, rather than the plummeting attendance and doomed record you saddle them with. I would define success as not only being proud of your own team but also not being a Debbie-downer toward an upbeat Colgate program. Seems that from most of the comments above, a lot of UConn fans may be thinking the same thing.
