Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5126127, member: 26"] I'm not sure where the "knock off the comments" is coming from, but Geno started it. First, from back when she was injured: [I]"There's nobody that is enjoying life more than she is, that is totally engaged in what we're doing," Auriemma said. "Everything we do as a team, she feels as though it's happening to her."[/I] And from an October 30 article with quotes from Geno: [I]"I can't say enough about her as a person. Nobody has seen her play. No one at UConn nation has seen her play, and they don't anything about her. All they know is what they see. Myself, the staff, the players, and everyone associated with our program has been really truly, truly blessed that she's come into our life because I can honestly say in 40 years I've never coached anybody better at Connecticut, never, in my life."[/I] So honestly, it was Geno who started all the hype we've been discussing on the board. By making those comments, he set expectations sky high for her, and thus far, she's not lived up to it. Of course fans need to be patient, etc. But Geno was the one blowing the doors off expectations for her, and that has bled into the fans' psyche's. [/QUOTE]
