I'm a UConn WCBB fan. I did not graduate from the university. I'm a Holy Cross grad, and while I have warm feelings about my school, I don't follow their athletics at all. From time to time, I'll become fascinated with another WCBB team, such as the Gonzaga teams during the Vandersloot years. Such fascinations usually last a year or two and of course, would be set aside if that team were to play UConn.

Did the women at your alma mater (and the guys, to be fair) have Hot Cross Buns? Ok, I'm ducking on this one. :)
 
No, and those weren't the warm feelings I had, either.:D Actually, I graduated in one of the last classes before they admitted women full-time. Best thing the school could have done IMHO.

While I would certainly never advocate for divorce, seems it would be justified in this case. :rolleyes:

Milford...I just don't know what to say... Except to speculate what it was like in your house when UConn played Tennessee. Had to be some tricky moments...

It's my nephew through marriage, so it's fairly recent. We all gang up on him. I knew it was a problem when I learned that his dog was named Neyland after the football stadium and he couldn't get married in the fall because it was football season. :) He's actually a nice guy, but at 38, still has something of a frat boy mentality.

Just a little info on Neyland. General Robert Neyland US Army. Also Tennessee football coach. Had some impressive numbers as coach. Including
the Vols ran off 17 straight shutouts and in 71 quarters in a row.

He has a ways to go yet to outgrow his frat boy mentality. Not that I know from personal experience...well, OK, in the interests of full disclosure, I am speaking from personal experience. In truth (you know, what with full disclosure and all), he'll probably never fully outgrow it.
 
UConn.....then ND, St. John's, Marquette, North Dakota, Furman and Clemson.

Having lived in Connecticut for over 30 years, I'm strictly a UConn fan (primarily the women). However, now that I live in New Mexico, I take a mild interest in the UNM Lobos because some of my relatives are graduates of UNM.
 
UConn, Michigan, Amherst, Wesleyan, Williams (Hint: The last 3 are not D1 factories.) :)

"Don't send my son to Princeton: I'd rather see him dead!
But, send him off to Dartmouth, or, better yet, Cornell!
But, as for Pennsylvania, I'd see him first in hell!"
 
Uconn, then Cal. My hope for Cal is that someday they can recruit a shooter. When they made the FF 2 years ago Cal had the worst free throw percentage in D1 ball.

UConn fan, of course. But as an alumnus of Illinois, I'm hopeful that Matt
Bollant can elevate the Illini women to respectability, if not top 25 status.
Expand ...
Any idea of the challenges he faces? I know TG when she was there got the women out of a second class facility, but is the arena dated? How are the locker rooms and facilities? (Although some RU fans went to games both when TG and Jolette were there, we never did).

Bolant seemed a good choice. Will be interesting to see how they do going forward. I used to root for Illinois in the abstract, but now that RU is in the B1G, so much for that.
 
I'm a South Carolina fan with Rutgers a distant second since I grew up in New Jersey. I'm a season ticket holder for football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

I certainly hope none of my nieces or nephews get married during football or basketball season. 2 have married so far, and they were kind enough to get married in the spring (I'm not as much of a baseball fan). Let's hope the other 4 use common sense when picking dates if they get married. :D
