Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2457553, member: 6118"] You have never ever ever seen a team like Uconn WBB---for maybe 25 years Uconn WOMEN's had semi rabid fans--some may think they are rabid--but havent been tested for it yet--|Fans of the Uconn Men's base some changed to the WBB as the women won and won and won and won and won---most, even in down years, had 30 win's---tell me what team's that you mentioned had 30 wins for most of the 30 years? At one time Geno sold out the Gampel and XL every game--then winning became the norm. That is the Mystique that is unique with Uconn--no one ---NO ONE--has won that much. When winning becomes the norm and the expectations become nothing less than a National Championship--what do your call that?? Except Uconn WBB! Fans became jaded, but had no jade to go with it. When lessor teams, Depaul/Duke/Louisvlle were expected to lose EVERY Game--the fun of a win or a loss was blunted by WINNING. Don't believe me---call Geno and ask him--why don't you fill up every seat in most of your home games?? If he remember his speeches on the subject--he'll say JADED. The new found winning WBB Teams have fans not accustomed to winning, each game is a potential loss, not so at Uconn If you don't believe that--just think of the energized UConn Fan base with the very close to a loss to ND--the blood ran hot again..
