Message: [QUOTE="Aluminny69, post: 4132272, member: 103"] I started to seriously watch UConn women after the 2001-02 season. Up until that point, I had only seen the nationally televised games, Tenn and NC title games. I did not have access to CPTV. But I was very curious how they would do with four extremely talented seniors graduating at the same time. I discovered the Boneyard, and listened to radio broadcasts. One Boneyarder very kindly recorded some games, and mailed me the tapes. I mention this only because the 03 and 04 teams were very similar to today, with DT carrying the teams to two NCs. I don't think those teams would have performed very well without her, as proven by the 05 team. When comparing DT to Paige, the difference that stands out to me is DT seems a lot "sturdier." DT was banged around a lot during those two seasons, but still managed to avoid serious injury. ( Thank goodness). Paige has a different build. Fans of UConn have been blessed. I think we about to find out who the true fans are, and who the "fair weather" fans are. As Bette Davis famously said, "Hang on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride!". [/QUOTE]
