Message: [QUOTE="ivrytontusker, post: 2040447, member: 6648"] It's not Geno's problem or UConn's problem, nor is it something that we should apologize for, but it is obviously not good for the sport. If I ask people if they follow women's basketball (without saying I am a UConn fan) fans of other teams -especially non-elite P5 teams- regularly say things like "doesn't that one team, UConn, always win? So I don't really follow the sport." Dominant teams are not bad for the sport in general: see Alabama football, the Patriots, etc. But those teams have also lost a number of big games in living memory. They aren't "unbeatable." The last "big game" we lost was, what? The FF game vs. ND in 2012? I can't even remember exactly. We're now at a hyper-dominant level that simply bores other fans. Heck, there is some evidence that it bores [I]our [/I]fans. Has home attendance increased during the streak? How many people in CT care if we win another[I] [/I]title? It would be bigger news if it didn't happen. [/QUOTE]
