Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4256702, member: 199"] The TN/Uconn rivalry is I think the only national level rivalry ever in WCBB history and everyone took sides - old blood vs new blood, female coach/male coach, south vs north, Pat's cheese steak vs Geno' cheese steak, #1 vs #2. It was also I believe the only time when teams from different conferences scheduled yearly home and home games and sometimes met three times in a season. Uconn/ND took on some of that as well but there was a period when ND just wasn't very competitive so the best part of it was not very long. Uconn/Stanford meh - never gained a lot of traction because it wasn't a yearly deal for long periods. Uconn/Baylor meh - same deal as with Stanford Uconn/ Rutgers meh - a few years, but Uconn generally dominated Uconn/SC - could become one if both teams maintain their level, but the coaches are good friends so not quite the hatred. SC breaking through with wins is too recent. Uconn.Louisville - same as SC UNC/Duke has good history, but neither team has consistently been good since Hatchell/GG days Other schools - there just hasn't been the consistency in quality of two rivalry teams over a long enough period of time to build TX/Baylor/A&M/OK could have developed but one team or another has generally dominated most of the history. Same with any rivalries in the SEC the Big10 and the Pac - teams challenge for a few years but then drop off. [/QUOTE]
