Message: [QUOTE="Robrio89, post: 5353055, member: 13469"] I’m a lifelong UConn fan. My uncle used to listen to UConn on the radio in the 50s and 60s and my mom started watching them in the 70s and on. I’ve lived and breathed this since I was 6 years old because when UConn was on, the entire family had to watch. Yet, I don’t have social media. I don’t use it. I watch the games, every single post game presser on YouTube. I search UConn on Google pretty much every day. I may be an outlier but I may not be. When I go to games I see a very diverse crowd. All ages, but especially older fans. I’m sure a huge part of our fan base could care less about our social media and more about the games. Which is what really matters anyways. I mean, we are posting on a forum online with 10,000 plus fans, using an antiquated form of communication. Kind of ironic isn’t it? With the women’s fan base I can’t help but think that has to do with players like Bueckers or just the national stage they have always been on. I think for mens to reach that level we need consistent national exposure, which we are getting now, and bidirectional attention from NBA fans. Getting more NBA ready players will have those fans looking at who might be going to their team. [/QUOTE]
