Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 5111105, member: 37"] Maybe you're too young to remember that a great many UConn fans in the mid nineties wanted to replace JC with a different coach because they didn't think he could get us to a final four. It only took six years for the luster of the Dream Season to wear off. Once a goal is reached a new goal is strived for. Those were the days when UConn fans understood the difficulty and value of achieving a final four. We would have celebrated an appearance in a final four back then even if we didn't make it to the finals. The atmosphere in the arena is second to none. It gets more hype than any other basketball event. Most college basketball fans rank it as an extremely great achievement and not some made up construct. As an aside those were the days where there was a perception JC's teams were donuts - always had a hole at the center because JC couldn't recruit a decent center. [/QUOTE]
