We started out as a middle of nowhere country/school that had 1 season/war (Dream Season/revolutionary war) that put us on the national/international spotlight. We struggled to make a name for ourself nationally/internationally (90s/1800s and early 1900s) until we won the big one. (1999/WWII). Since then is has just been domination (4 NCs/general American economic and military dominance). And while we may not always be perfect (APR, Nate Miles, laptops/Torture, policies that lead to the recession, etc.) any other program/country would love to be us and just talks siht because they are jealous of us being the most powerful program/country.

While I realize i may have taken some artistic license with this I still believe that the analogy works well.

Dom Perno stealing the ball from Bill Bradley put us on the map. That was on every sports page in the country.

I think UConn is like a tuxedo t-shirt: We want to be formal, but we're here to party, too.

Man look at this new practice facility! Now we'll have so much more room for activities.
